In 1988, Al Gore won Super Tuesday and moved from last to third. That time, the momentum was already behind Dukakis. No one has the Big Mo yet.
Same could be said about all the GOP candidates. I'm not entirely convinced Thompson could win but he would definitely give the Dems a run for their money.
“Whoever wins FL will go to the front of the line as it is a Winner Take All fairly big state.”
I thought that FL was NOT a winner take all state? I thought they were split up by congressional districts?
Maybe. If Romney picks up at least 6 from NV and/or SC, he will have 58. If Guiliani gets FL, so would he. But, I don't think Rudy's strategery is working out like he planned....
He won’t have to buy anything when he wins the majority....it isn’t stalinist russia or some third world country where money gets you power and vice-versa. Just because the system isn’t working the way you want it to doesn’t mean it is broken. Mitt has spent alot of money to essentially get his name out there or all we would hear about is the McLame\Guiliani ticket.

Indeed. And he’s going to pick up more on Saturday.
WOO HOO... Mitt, keep doing what you are doing. I sent in money yesterday. No way, I am standing back and letting a dim, msm or McCain take this election.
If the penalty is not applied, and all delegates are seated, FL is WTA per district. If the penalty is applied, the FL GOP chair and the Governor will choose delegates based on a statewide WTA basis. At least, that is the info I've been able to track down in news reports.
I doubt seriously that a single guy will come up with 1100-odd votes to win on the first ballot. In fact....this is a 20-ballot situation and we might be surprised who gets the nod at the end. There’s nothing in the book after the first ballot to say that any of the current group of nominees has to be the guy standing at the end. We could have a total outsider step up...to be a neutral choice...like Jeb Bush (although I can’t see him running).
Giuliani is polling a strong second in Florida. If he finishes second or higher, he will be back in it come Super Tuesday.
Alternative Soft Total Plan. This plan assumes the delegation is not sanctioned. Tuesday 29 January 2008: All 114 of Florida's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's Florida Presidential Primary.
Soft/Hard Total Plan. This plan assumes the delegation is sanctioned. Tuesday 29 January 2008: All 57 of Florida's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's Florida Presidential Primary.
Delegates at the Congressional District level will be chosen between 6 February 2008 and 30 April 2008 at the delegate selection caucuses. At-Large delegates will be chosen between 6 February 2008 and 31 May 2008 at an Republican Party of Florida Executive Board meeting. |
And Florida looms.
McCain is the one who is *co-author* with Kennedy on the worst bill in the last 10 years, say no to Proamnesty-antiBushtaxcuts-proCO2caps-CFR-RINO John McCain:
Will Romney win Maine or will McCain win Maine?
If I had to list the candidates in order of most conservative to least conservative, the order would be:
Hunter
Thompson
Romney
McCain
Giuliani
Huckabee
Realistically, Hunter has no chance. Knock the last three guys off the list, and that leaves Thompson and Romney...which would make for a perfect ticket in November.
Romney/Thompson sounds good to me.
I would like to see Romney and The governor of Maryland.
