- Mitt Romney unhinged: Calls Gingrich a “disgrace,” failure.” Will MSM reprimand Romney for going mean or do they save that line of attack for Gingrich specifically? Instead, MSM keeps insisting that the guy with the blowout victory in SC isn’t “electable.”

- Major Garrett returns to the White House beat for National Journal.

- Gingrich asks for equal treatment.

- Reuters and Youtube to launch Reuters TV.

- Gingrich’s victory in South Carolina was a blow to liberal media. Romney supporters are furious. Media apologists lost the battle against South Carolina grassroots:

Down goes Juan Williams.
Down goes John King.
Down goes the media elites.
And, down goes the Dick Morris who told us Rick Santorum won the debate on Thursday night.

Hear the roar.

During today’s Super Bowl, football fans will see a thirty-second commercial depicting Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother expressing gratitude that, 23 years ago, Mrs. Tebow chose not to abort Tim when she was pregnant and advised to do so by her doctors.  The ad will cost about $3 million for its sponsor, the religious group Focus on the Family.

The ad has evoked angry criticism primarily from anachronistic feminists (and, inexplicably, a few homosexual groups) who, I’ll wager, don’t even watch much football regularly much less tune in the Super Bowl.  Nevertheless, these graying feminists have exploded in fury at Mrs. Tebow expressing joy for the life of her son – my son the college student, my son the Heisman Trophy winner.  But why express such anger and venom at a mother’s pride?

If I were to guess, the reason is that these “aborto-fanatics” (my term) cannot respond in kind.  Focus on the Family shows the triumph of choosing life.  How Mrs. Tebow’s choice made a “we” out of “me.”  What can NOW show?  What proud accomplishments can NARAL highlight?  A massive body count and the millions it has paid the abortion industry.

At this late date it appears CBS is not going to surrender to pro-abort pressure and renege on its agreement to run Focus on the Family’s life advocacy ad featuring Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother Pam on today’s
Super Bowl telecast.

In fact, Focus on the Family is now announcing that it is running a second ad, also featuring Tebow, during the pre-game show — an ad that will run four times.

In the n-game thirty-second ad, Pam is prompted to describe her harrowing experience of suffering from a life-threatening illness while pregnant with Tim in 1987, yet rejecting her doctors’ recommendation to abort. She and husband Bob were serving as missionaries in the Philippines at the time.

But the battle against CBS has generated a battle over the battle. Has opposing the Tebow ad been public relations capital well spent?

No, but don’t take my word for it. I’ll let the opinions of abortion proponents speak. First, a January 31 editorial by the notoriously liberal New York Times: (more…)

Has Tim Tebow gone rogue by agreeing to ‘hawk life’ during Super Bowl XLIV?

One advertising executive, Robert Tuchman, says that the University of Florida star quarterback’s decision to appear in an anti-abortion commercial is going to “affect his opportunities for endorsements down the road.”

Miss out on a sizeable energy drink contract, will he?

Another, John Rowady, says , “His promotion of his ‘belief system’ has built a perception throughout the league that he has a long way to mature from a business perspective …”

And this has hurt Kurt Warner, how? (more…)
