Its hard to pin down what has hurt McCain . . .How about blatant disrespect for the first amendment (McCain-Feingold CFR)?

I’m not a Romney supporter but I think I could hold my nose and vote for him if it came down to that. Now if only Rudy and McCain would drop out so some of the conservatives could move up there would be a real race.

That would make a real presidential race especially in the rust belt.

Anything that knocks out Rudy and McCain early is a good thing.

His father was a good CEO at Rambler/AMC and a good Governor and Michiganders remember.

The poll shows 15% undecided and 7% for Newt Gingrich. I no longer believe that Newt Gingrich is going to run, so the total of undecideds plus Gingrich supporters puts that combination in second place. I'm glad to see Giuliani and McCain sinking in the polls. I'd like to see Duncan Hunter and maybe Jim Gilmore rising in the polls.
Undoubtedly, Mitt Romney has advantages in Michigan because his family was there and was prominent in politics for so long. If the Jeb Bush connection gives him Florida and his family connection gives him Michigan, he'll undoubtedly be in the race on February 6, the day after the super primary. At this point in the game, each of the Republicans has to be hoping to remain competitive after the super primary. Anyone who is still competitive at that time has a chance to work out a win in the states that hold primaries after that date.

You bet. As McCain, and Rudy slide, Hunter will move up. Fred T. is waiting too long to announce, and if he does, who knows what he will bring. Then Mitt will be a bigger target than he is now, and he will slide off the stage.

I would really like to see McClame drop out and see how the polls line up between Mitt, Rudy, and Fred T.

I think a little reality needs to set in here. Duncan Hunter isn't going to "move" anywhere. He's at his 2-3% and that will be it.
The only one who has a chance to beat Rudy or Romney is Fred Thompson, and the four-way pie between R, R, McCain and Thompson is the race. I wish MCrazy would get out, because his support, whever it's coming from, hasn't moved at all in months.

The reality is Fred is not running, it may change but it will too late.

Well, for all intents and purposes, neither is Hunter. He doesn’t have money, national organization, or any of the necessities to actually mount a campaign.

Romney continues to benefit from his debate performance. Also, older voters in Michigan remember his father, who was a pretty good governor during the 1960’s.

Mitt Romney commercials are already showing up periodically here in Cali, and they’re actually very good.
Romney comes across better in action, than in the still photos. Quite a lot better, actually.
His campaign needs to keep up the early commercials. They’re good, and he’s starting to look like a good prospect.
I like him, so far.
