It's 58 degrees and windy today in Las Vegas, and suddenly Romney has the wind at his back and he has dreams of smooth sailing through the next few rounds of primaries.
Donald Trump, citing similar views on OPEC and China has endorsed Mitt Romney as his choice for the Republican Nomination.
They'll all looking pretty presidential up there with all those American Flags. You'd never know they were in Vegas.
I posted this pic above because it's the way most American's sitting at home are seeing this event. Close up shots of Romney and his wife smiling at Trump, smiling back at the happy couple. A nice, cozy shot where by the King of Vegas, TV shows and Real Estate is trying to crown them as the Golden Couple that will become the next First Couple of America. To Donald Trump his endorsement seals the deal.
Will it?
Possibly. Probably. Hard to say for sure.
In the end it will be Romney's to lose.
The only constant about the future is that it is hard to predict.
The weather is easier to predict.
Then again the rain that was supposed to fall in North Carolina today did not fall, and sunny blue skies reign supreme instead. So, warm in fact that I went outside barefoot. Nice.
Kings come and go. In 1946 Bugsy Siegel opened the Flamingo Hotel. He changed a small desert town into the town that we know it today. As always, he found out the hard way that construction never goes as planned, it always takes longer. Not everything went the way Bugsy had hoped, he died a few weeks later.. well "died" is not exactly the right word to use but he did die in the end. Vegas, his dream city, went on to be as popular a getaway today as he knew it would be back when.
Why? Because of the weather.I mean it's called "The Flamingo" which brings up images of tropical destinations with palm trees and tropical birds. Except for a few days in the winter when it snows on rare occasions the weather in Vegas is always beautiful. That and people like to go there to gamble, lounge around the pool, gamble, enjoy the sunshine and palm trees and gamble. A winning combination.

Today, in the middle of winter on a day when the temperature flirted with 60 degrees and the sun was shining outside Mitt Romney got his time in the sunshine on national television.
Only history will say whether this was a turning point for Mitt Romney or President Romney. Only history will tell.
Super Tuesday will be on March 6th, 2012. It doesn't take a hedgehog to tell us that there will be 4 more weeks of intense campaigning, but by March 7th we should know if Romney is in fact the Republican candidate for President.
