Meanwhile Rudy is increasing his ad exposure in Florida.
At this point it is hard to see him losing Florida.
I think Thompson and Romney need to gang up on Huck in the SC debate. Thompson needs to bring out those prosecutor skills and lay out a case on Huck’s enabling of bringing in illegal immigrants for Tyson and other Arkansas employers.
I don't see this as a panic move, but as a rational cost-benefit calculation and clear-eyed prioritization after a couple of significant setbacks. It's a smart move. In fact, it's basically the John McCain strategy for New Hampshire, transplanted to Michigan for Romney.It's been Fred's plan in South Carolina and Rudy's plan in Florida, too. Everyone will go into Super Tuesday with a win under their belt, and all will carry their party factions. And the convention will be brokered. And Fred and Mitt will join forces to produce a Thompson-Romney ticket.
But what is it losing out to? That's a mixed story: traditional boots-on--the-ground retail politics (good), and identity politics (bad, bad, bad).
We need to ramp up conservative education on the internet - and get our flavor of the internet to more "off-the-grid" demographics - to counter the rising socialist tide in the U.S.
Wyoming, but who cares about the Cowboy State
Besides that I think Rudy, Fred, Hunter, Paul need to win a primary more at this time then Mitt, Huck, or McCain do.
With the news that Romney pulled some ads in Fl and SC people act like Romney is hurting. But Romney raised 4million dollars yesterday, and came in second.
Some say weeping is good for a few percentage points. Maybe if he cried...?
That sounds so cold.
Name another candidate with as much broad based support as Rpmney? None of them do....they all have very narrow niches.
Would you expect the AP, a leftest organization, to be out endorsing Romney?....geez!
It’s hard to believe the only candidate with decent hair on the GOP side is doing so poorly.
