And she is. She is having a high old time stumping for Mitt Romney. That’s because there are national news TV cameras on him all the time. And when she’s on the podium with him, guess what — she’s on national TV, too! Which is the end-all and be-all for her.
So let’s be happy for her.
Of course, it’s not doing Mitt Romney a bit of good. I wonder if he knows that? I wonder if he’s thinking, Here I am, stuck on the stage with her again, and she’s introducing me and introducing me and introducing me, and how much longer do I have to keep this phony grin on my face, the one I’ve patented, the one in which my teeth are smiling but my eyes look like I’m frightened?
Or, is he thinking, She’s the governor! Of this critical state! Her standing up with me here is good, right? Right!
Well, he doesn’t have to trust his gut any more, because the numbers are in:
The poll found 89 percent of likely primary voters knew Haley had endorsed Romney. Of those who did know of Haley’s endorsement, the overwhelming majority — 71 percent — said it made no difference in who they support. Of the rest, 21 percent said Haley’s endorsement made them less likely to vote for Romney; only 8 percent said it made them more likely to vote for the former Massachusetts governor…
So what’re you gonna do, Mitt? You’re kinda stuck, huh?
Here’s what he’s gonna do: Keep grinning that ungrin or his, and keep telling himself he’s far enough ahead in the polls that it doesn’t matter.

I hope he gets it. The more you people say he’s leading in the polls, the more the bigots will come out of the woodwork to vote against him. Don’t say it isn’t the way it works, because it is.
The Pottery Barn of endorsements?
Romney always seems like he’s trying to talk a cop out of a speeding ticket.
