That’s the sort of naturally non-arrogant behavior that does a candidate a lot of good with the media. Remember Algore, shortly after his VP term had expired, caught strolling away from a plane with his luggage on the tarmac, just assuming that his still present but much reduced staff of Secret Service agents would carry it for him.

I’d like to see a Romney rebound.

The problem, which I don’t see anyone talking much about, is that there will be a lot of Democrats voting in the Republican primary - and they are not likely to choose Romney.

I have a friend in Michigan, very liberal Dem, who is doing just that because the Democrat primary has been rendered meaningless without Obama and Edwards on the ballot, and with the Dems not seating Michigans delegates for moving their primary date forward. I definitely do not want my friend (and other Dems) making our choice for us - but they are definitely going to influence the election - I would guess toward McCain.

I’m a Fred guy, but Romney satisfies my executive mgmt pre-requisite. I’d pull the lever for Romney as happily as I pulled it for Bush in 2000. Bush’s immigration stance in 2000 was my greatest dislike with the man. But Bush wasn’t Gore and Romney won’t be Hillary or Obama.

The liberals hate Mitt Romney so what’s not for us to love?

Get the win Mitt!! We have to stop McCain, I don't trust him at all.


I'd rather be waterboarded than vote for McCain.

Mitt in Michigan. Thompson in South Carolina. Run the McCain Express of the rails.

If Thompson can’t carry SC, then I’ll probably vote for Mitt in Arizona’s primary (5 Feb).

At this point, I’m an Anyone But Huck McCain voter!
