FLASH: RASMUSSEN Florida poll to be released: Romney 25, McCain 20, Giuliani 19... Developing...

[B Knotts]

I sure hope those numbers are accurate.

True, societygirl—

But perhaps some see McCain in a positive light as being able to “reach across the aisle”...Unfortunately, that is why we’re in the fix we’re in. Bush caved to Dems on the costly Prescription Drug Bill and refused for most of his tenure to veto ANYthing! McCain is even closer with Dems. He simply can’t be trusted, but his hatred for us, for real conservatives and especially foir the anti-Invasion conservatives is telling...

[Reaganesque]

And this at the beginning of a week full of Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talk show hosts savaging McCain up one side and down the other. Most excellent.

[societygirl]

McCain would reach across the aisle... and stab Republicans in the process. He cannot stand his own party.

[Congressman Billybob]

Thompson very well might take the second slot. Of late, Vice Presidents have been more active, and more effective, in administrations. Fred would do that, IMHO.

You mean Steele’s not a nice person? Or were you referring to Fred?.......................................

I meant Steele is not a nice person!!! I LOVE FRED, obviously I left the wrong impression

I WAS REFERRING TO STEELE

Not with that bizarre wife of his.

I've been watching her and she is odd, isn't she?! What is wrong with her?

[GunRunner]

Why? What’s a picture of his wife got to do with anything?

[longtermmemmory]

Kerry has the Mrs. money and she would not take his name until an 11th hour political necessity.

Somehow I don’t see Romney in that mold. (liar and and sleazy in his own ways)

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

Either way would be good. What would terminate my support for Fred would be if he rolled over to McCain. Then, I would know for sure his conservative credentials were a fraud.

[CPT Clay]

Gov Perdue from GA

Good point

[Vigilanteman]

My guess is that Phil Gramm is backing the 1980 version of John McCain as are many other Reagan era officials. At one time, McCain was a good senator and a strong supporter of Reagan. He was a worthy heir to Goldwater's seat.

But somewhere along the line, he got seduced by favorable press, the power of Washington and the limelight of poking conservatives in the eye to get praised by liberals.

With Romney, there is the possibility that a persistently hostile press will actually encourage him to do the right thing. With McCain, it is exactly the opposite-- a fawning press will encourage him to do the wrong thing-- McCain-Feingold being the best example.

[societygirl]

What ISN’T wrong with her, should be the question. Could you imagine getting into a fight with firemen at Ground Zero, no less, during the anniversary? Because of her Rudy’s kids don’t talk to him.

[Man50D]

If we’re speaking of the newly defined conservative, then your right, and your guy Huckabee is the guy.

If you were speaking with any knowledge of who I support instead of speaking with false assumptions you would never have made this statement.

[societygirl]

She also got into a brawl with Rudy’s son AT THE WEDDINGa.

[Hoodat]

I wholeheartedly agree. Santorum would be a great choice - and yes, he would carry Pennsylvania as well as Virginia. Unlike Bob Casey, Hillary Clinton is not a favorite son.

[GeorgiaDawg]

He’s done a decent job here, speaks well, could solidify the southern base....just a thought.

[Rational Thought]

Apologies. I made the assumption based upon your tagline.

[levotb]

Someone here earlier mentioned some possible running mate for Romney. I suggest the hottest gal in elected office, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). Here’s what Wikipedia says about her:

“Congressman Blackburn initially backed former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, joining his campaign as a senior advisor.[1] On May 25, 2007, Blackburn resigned her position in the Romney campaign and endorsed former Senator Fred Thompson for President.[2]”

She’s strikingly beautiful and VERY well-spoken. Can any of you see Mr. Handsome running a fellow conservative knockout (and she’s REALLY a conservative) who would be the first female VP in U.S. history? WOW!!! And TN is a Southern state...which would help Romney. Yet, Blackburn is never mentioned as a VP mate...
