The Early Exits

Surprising and very good news for Romney in Delaware and Missouri.

Too close to call in California --but very early as well with a huge pile of absentees that roll in at * PM Pacific.

And Arizona is stunning: McCain only 44% and Romney at 39%.

Is Arizona a winner take all or is it a proportional state? Wouldn’t it be a hoot if after McLame spent the other day in MA claiming he could win there if Mitt takes as many AZ delegates and McLame gets??

A while back, the Arizona Republican Party unanimously voted to censure McCain.

This should tell you what it will be like with McCain. Right now, he is asking people....”If you don’t vote for me, vote for Huck.” As with the democrats, McCain is afraid of Romney.

It’s a winner take all.

It’s a damning indictment of McCain if he fails to get 50% plus 1 in Arizona.

I’m surprised that people are surprised by Arizona. AZ has a large mormon contingent, and they do tend to actually show up and vote.

The big question is . . .

How can anyone continue to tout the "electability" of a man who can't get a majority of his own party in his own state. If he can't get over 50% I"ll bet he even loses Arizona in a General election

Early exit polls in South Carolina back in 2004 had John Kerry up big on George W. Bush. I wouldn’t put too much stock in them.

Does Arizona check citizenship for voter registration ?

If not, then the high illegal alien pop is going to pad McAmnesty’s numbers.

they’re the folks who know him best - If I recall correctly Lincoln lost his county both elections for President.

Looks like our anti-Invasion friends in AZ are coming out against McAmnesty hot and heavy!!

CA worries me, but it’s early yet...

The first early poll I saw for Missouri had McCain and Hillary. This is good news now coming out of Missouri for Romney.

I had an email from my grandson in Alabama, he was excited as this is his first time to vote in a Primary.

Obama get the nomination for the DNC

McCain wins for the RNC and picks Hillary as his VP.

So, which party are you going to vote for now?

If Mitt wins MO, he can credit the rising conservative Gov. Matt Blunt there for giving him a state he (Mitt) didn’t have much time to spend in. And THAT, my friends, would give Mitt his FIRST Southern state victory and would very likely cause Mitt to select Gov. Blunt as his VP.

On the other hand, it appears Mitt won’t win TN tonight, so that washes any possibility of a Marsha Blackburn VP spot. Mitt needs pols who can give him wins...

An early and hopeful “Bravo!” to Gov. Matt Blunt of Missouri!!
