On Louisiana's Caucuses Tonight (Ambinder sees Romney Win)
The Atlantic.com ^ | 01/22/08 | Marc Ambinder

Posted on 01/22/2008 6:45:45 PM PST by Reaganesque

Louisiana was thought to be a battle between Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney.

Romney has the support of two congressmen and announced teams in every district. It is winner take all by congressional district and majority receives at-large delegates.

It's the only Southern caucus, so conservative conservatives will probablt(sic) turn out.

This is Romney's to lose...

Another gold medal... albeit in the state equivalent of Olympic curling, but still...

I am so proud of Mitt Romney!!! The way he holds his head high in spite of the hateful cheap shots and media jabs. He will be a great President. I can’t wait to see him debate Hillary.

I would have thought that Huckabee would do well there given he’s from a neighboring state.

There are a lot of southern Baptists in the northern part of the state - fertile ground for Huckabee.

I thinkg the media has greatly over stated the opposition coming from evangelicals. In MI, Mitt actually got more evangelical votes than Huckabee and has had significant support from them elsewhere as well. The MSM wants it to be a big problem because that’s what their vision of what a Christian Conservative is: an intolerant hater. While they do exist, they are a minority and a shrinking one at that.

I can see the shift coming myself. It is as if people are getting tired of the back and forth and want to unite the party behind one man....Mitt Romney!

Whats this? I thought Romney could not carry a Southern State. Looks like some Freepers are wrong again.

Okay. I'm going to bring up my prediction posted in Dec. 2005. I have held off openly backing Romney, and even considered Fred Thompson. Didn't want anyone to think I was backing Romney just because I predicted him to win. It was the "little voice" in my head that said, "There is your next president", the first time I heard him speaking on TV.

Does this mean that Catholics are generally anti-Huck?

I'm waiting for the guy to willow down to single digits. I cant see him drawing any new supporters, from anybody else.

Mitt is on the move! This race is starting to break loose.

There are a certain number of people that are negative, but the majority seem to be breaking for Romney now.

As this race shrinks down to two candidates, the contrast will be apparent and the choice clear. I believe that Mitt will continue to climb, while McCain will fade.

A good case in point would be Al Smith, a Catholic from New York, who carried the South running against Hoover in 28.
