I'm getting something of a chuckle out of reading all the Chicken Little "WOE IS US" posts over the primary election results from yesterday. Why? Simple. Because the one viable conservative candidate with the best chance of winning in the General Election is in a better position than ever.
In case you haven't noticed, Mitt Romney now has more delegates than all the other candidates put together. McCain's win in South Carolina has hurt Mike Huckabee bigtime. However, McCain will be much easier to defeat in the primaries in the long run than the Huckster which is good news.
And to all you Fred Thompson supporters. Now is the time to face reality and support the remaining viable conservative candidate---Mitt Romney. Romney is now in the best positition to harvest a big delegate count on Super Tuesday because of his superior organization and finances. Ultimately, McCain will lose out to Mitt.
With Hillary as the Democrat nominee running against Mitt in the General Election, Mitt wins. Why? Because I GUARANTEE one or more third party candidates (think Bloomy and Ralph and even Dennis) running because of leftwing disgust with Hillary. And guess who that draws votes from.
But don't take my word for this. I am sure Rush will put things into proper perspective on his show tomorrow.
Here’s hoping you are right on!
Sorry, but there’s no way I want to see the Whitehouse to a left wing marxist.. and clinton to boot.. because the republican choices are poor... yes, I will probably end up holding my nose..
PJ, to paraphrase Shakespeare, methinks the Lad rejoiceth too much. Is there not absolute truth? Is there not a time for mourning? Yes we must move forward; perhaps reflection is yet in order.

OUST RINOS IN PRIMARIES, NOT GENERAL ELECTIONS

Some who are indeed Conservatives need to stay in the game and keep prayerfully slogging on and not be dismayed and sidelined.
Some who THINK they are Conservatives aren’t; the U.S. Constitution DEFINES Conservatism. To those I ask, please prayerfully rethink your positions.
Beyond that, there are many who are in America while America is not in them and they are definitely voting, early, often and Liberal. To Conservatives, I ask please prayerfully stand against these threats.

Meanwhile, we need to wait and see which candidate is the most hated by the enemedia. That's a pretty good indication of who is our best choice. Hint: It's ain't McCain or Huckabee.

Only in your comic book fantasy world.
Back in the real world, the Clintons have a thick oppo book on Romney, and they will chew him up and spit him out.
I saw Dem consultant Donna Brazile on one of the talking head panels on TV last night. She said if Romney is the nominee, the Dems plan to go after him on his serial flip-flopping. Since this is what Republicans did to Hanoi John Kerry in ‘04, the Dems are salivating over getting payback. Payback’s a bit*h, and its name is H. Rotten Clinton.
They will use Romney’s many misstatements against him, especially the “My father and I marched with MLK through the streets of Detriot” one. They will use his false claim that he “had the endorsement of the NRA” in a prior election. Even though the Dems are anti-gun, they will use misstatements about his firearms ownership and his claim that he had “been a hunter all my life.”
The Dems will also try to spin Mitt’s record at Bain Capital, where he was a turnaround specialist, against him. They will paint him as an eeevilll and heartless kaptialist who took over companies and took people’s jobs away to cut costs. This will play to the poplulist current out there and tap into some of the same people Edwards and Huck have been appealing into. The extreme left will also lap it up.
Below the radar, they will attack his religion. This will be carried out by surrogates who cannot be traced back to the Democrat party or to Hill and Bill. If you think you’ve seen Mormon-baiting in the primaries, you ain’t seen nothing yet. This is the way the Clintons play the game of politics.
The Dems will beat Romney like a rented mule, and Hillary Clinton will put her hand on ther bible on a cold day a little less than a year from now and lie about preserving and protecting the constitution of the United States.
As to viable, he's a flipper. The Dems must be smart enough to know how to deal with a flipper. We showed them how the last time.
I will only quit when Fred quits and as other articles have asked why should he? If you've got the cash, keep promoting a clear conservative message.
So will I via Fred.
He is drawing delegates and votes, and as long as he stays in, I will support him. But, I fear that if he drops out, that he will throw his support behind McCain.
I hope I am wrong...and I would really rather see Thompson as the ultimate candidate...but my gut tells me he is going to end up supporting McCain, which I will not do.
Duncan Hunter was my first choice, but he is gone now...followed by Thompson (enthusiastically), Romney (less enthusiastically), Huckabee and McCain thereafter (holding nose), and voting write-in or third party if its Rudy vs, Hillary...and as I have explained before this is because I personally will not put my name down in support of anyone who is an open supporter of abortion or homsexuality.
I guess we'll wait and see.
Like Reagan, Romney was once a "moderate" but is now solid conservative.
Nope. Won't happen. You need to listen to his show tomorrow to get the proper dosage of Rush Rays to set your mind right.
Most of those now opposed here to Romney will be big fans of his about a year into his administration when they find out he is not only incredibly competent but also a rock solid CONSERVATIVE.
Sigh! Repeat after me: Rush does NOT endorse Republican candidates in the primaries!
BTW, a person without a sense of humor is one who confuses irreverence with irrelevance.
One "little" flaw in your logic. A Hillary nomination will tear the left apart. Expect as many as two or maybe three independent parties running to the Left of her like Bloomie and Ralph that will draw the votes away from the Democrats. Folks, rather than the gloom and doom displayed here, I see a HUGE crackup among the Democrats in a few months. That party is already beginning to break up due to their feuding factions.
If you go to Hillary’s left, you end up in Stalin-land.
PJ— you must be readin’ my mind!
Yes, I am PJ-Comix, the political sheepdog, bringing the herd together for their own good.
