It's over, Charles. Romney outspent Huckabee 15-1 in Iowa and lost. New Hampshire is in his own political backyard and lost. He is toast. Why? Because voters know he is say-anything-lying-flip-flopping phony.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself for supporting a man that has been the enemy of the values you claim to hold.

Romney got 3 times more votes tan Huckabee in NH! Iowa apparently was a fluke.

Iowa was Huckabee’s backyard, and New Hampshire is like McCain’s home.

Further, being the governor of “next door” really is a meaningless feature in the modern era of 24 hour cable.

All that gives you is name recognition. Once you have that, you have to get people to vote for you.

Romney is doing OK, but not well enough. He can’t win if he doesn’t take first in a couple of big places.

But if coming in 6th was a great thing if you simply don’t compete, everybody would skip the first 3 contests.

Unfortunately, in the real world if you skip two of the first three contests, and only compete in the third for a few weeks after previously resolving to skip that one, you risk being labeled as a non-competitor.

I hope the strategy works, especially if Romney simply cannot get traction, because we need a conservative.

But frankly, I’m simply dissappointed, because I’d rather have a person who was simply RUNNING for president, rather than playing a strategic game to squeak through.
