Suddenly the MSM loves both Bush and Romney. Wonder why?

For roughly a year now Mitt Romney has been widely considered the most likely Republican nominee for 2012. And during this entire time the mainstream media has been running or broadcasting stories that emphasize his negatives.

But now that Perry is in the race, suddenly I'm starting to see stories in the MSM touting Romney's admirable qualities. Gee, wonder what caused that sea change?

Prediction: Between now and the day the Republican nominee is locked in, you'll see *lots* of stories in the MSM noting how many fabulous qualities Mitt Romney has. Because the Left/Dems would far rather run against Romney than Perry.

Similarly, CNN always had the knives out for George W. Bush--couldn't run the man down often enough. Yet yesterday CNN ran this piece comparing Perry--unfavorably, of course--to Bush. The CNN propagandist says Perry has the “anti-version” of Bush’s “charisma and charm” that made people want to vote for Bush.

Now personally, I thought W was both funny and down-to-earth. Unpretentious. But when I hear CNN talk about Bush having "charisma and charm" I'm thinking, Wow, these guys must be really worried about Perry.
