I agree. Romney puts MI and other rust belt states in play. There is a lot less religious bigotry up there. I doubt he looses the south even though there is a more down here. He can win FL it will be tough but he can do it.

Romney will also put all of the South in play.... a losing proposition for any Republican.

Face it, a liberal Yankee Republican is NOT going to win the presidency, whether his name is Rudy or Flip.

Please don’t tell me Huckabee be the nominee because of the South. We’re lost.

“Yankee Republican is NOT going to win the presidency, whether his name is Rudy or Flip.”

You are dead wrong. We need norther appeal to win. Last two were too close for me.

You let your own biases cloud your judgment. If you had any gift for handicapping the race, Duncan Hunter would be on top of the world right now. Sing us a song, Antoninus...

Thankds for all your pings in the past.

No, we are not going to have a conservative. Sad!

Do you think for a second that Hillary has a shot at winning any Southern state? I surely do not.

Fortunately, our frount-runner is a conservative who has ties to the midwest, Michigan, AND the northeast. Because a liberal would be a problem.
