[Old Retired Army Guy]

At what point in time are we going to stop posting Hewitt’s rants for Romney?

[BGHater]

Forget Hunter and Paul? Nice job, Hugh.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Wow. Roodi is really sucking wind.

[nmh]

I’m beginning to hope that Mitt wins. I don’t believe Fred is going to pull it off. So it looks like Mitt for me.

[Zechariah11]

Now that Fred will shortly be dropping out (maybe even endorsing John Kerry’s favorite VP choice, his pal McCain), Romney is the last glimmer of hope before millions of conservatives go 3rd party in the general election.

Yes, I get the picture. In 2000 the Republican party got its one real opportunity in 60 years. It pissed that away.

Now when this country is truly at the pivotal point regarding spending, terror and invasion of illegals, we are seeing a stake driven through the heart of the party and the fragile future of our country.

Romney

Huckabee

McCain

Let me translate these three names: LOSE, LOSE, LOSE.

Excuse me while I step away from the keyboard and puke.

[Dagnabitt]

I hope Romney pulls this out but it’s going to be tough with the Amnesty-CryptKeeper and the Squirrel-Popper grabbing votes from both ends of the spectrum.

[Popman]

It is a dead heat between Romney, McCain, Huckabee and Giuliani

Voter turnout will be critical for any of these candidates to win.

All are in a statistical tie as of now.

Rudy has been running TV ads for the last two weeks so his numbers should go up, McCain winning in SC should help his numbers

I see this race splitting into two tiers: Guiliani and McCain moving ahead and Romeny and Huckabee dropping down and fighting it out for third.

Rudy or McCain winning is not good

[Always Right]

We barely have over 100 delagates awarded and people are giving up. Do you realize there are 2200 to go???

[sourcery]

Romney is the most likely GOP nominee at this point. It’s an inevitable result of the insistence of the Rinos/independents on McCain, and the insistence of the evangelicals on Huckabee.

[6SJ7]

Romney: 66 delegates
Needed to win: 1191 delegates
That's not decisive, that's about 5%.

[GregoTX]

Thanks Checkers for the information as to where we currently stand.

[TLI]

And CNN is giving truckloads of face time to . . .

McCain(1st), Huckabee(2nd), Romney (4th), and Giuliani(6th), but not a damn word about Fred Thompson(3rd).

Same with FOX. Right now Rooty has been on live for about 11 minutes. This morning CNN had Rooty on live for about 30 minutes. I have been sitting here at work watching the FOX and CNN monitors and today, ALL DAY, there has been less than 3 minutes TOTAL for Fred Thompson on the two COMBINED.

Tell you the truth I have royally had it with the media, my observations of it here clearly indicate that there is an agenda to blackout Fred and Promote the liberal RINO's

BTW, all the time I have been typing this, CNN STILL has Julie-Annie on live in FL. It has been about 18 minutes now.

If this nation sinks because of a thinly-veiled communist Presidency we can look squarely to the liberal DBM.

Here's a pretty good site showing projected delegates (and much more) for both Democrats and Republicans.

There is a lot of guesswork with this stuff. They are projecting 3 delegates for Fred Thompson, from Nevada, based on the percentage of support he got yesterday, in the straw poll, at the caucuses. What really counts is delegates going to the county conventions, who will elect delegates to the state convention, who will elect delegates to the national convention, and nobody knows who these county delegates support, at this point. Though most of them, doubtless, support Romney.

I am a delegate to my county convention, and will support Fred, if he is still running when we have our county convention.

[CharlesWayneCT]

It is an elimination round in which at least one and possibly two of the would-be nominees will be sent to the sidelines

If nobody is pulling out now, I fear nobodt will pull out after Florida either. I fear nobody will EVER pull out.

Here is a chart of Candidate results so far :
