If Romney wins Florida, he will be competitive in any southern state which has voters who oppose McCain’s amnesty bill.

You are absolutely correct. Mitt is so organized and smart that it is a pleasure to watch. He is taking everything one step at a time. He has competed in every state so far and done well. When he needed to win, like in Michigan, he pulled his ads everywhere else concentrated and won by nine points. He pulled out of SC and let the others bankrupt themselves while he went to Nevada and picked up a bunch of delegates. Now Fred is out, Huck and Rudy are broke and McCain is falling like a rock in Florida. He is concentrating all his effort in Florida. Did you see the list of people in Florida that are endorsing Mitt. That was lined up last year I would bet. Long before the rest of them even thought about running. I bet he has done the same thing in the other states he will need.

These polls are as useful as teets on a bore hog!

Rudy did campaign in NH in the spring and summer. It wasn't going that well, so he stopped. Now the "hero" tries to spin it like he didn't try here. Like so much about Julie Annie, its just inaccurate.

Thanks for the realtime reporting.

Rooty's crackbrained strategy was to kick those "horrid" conservatives he despises, who were lurking in early primary/caucus states.

Looks like he got a taste of conservative backlash. LOL.

Calvo,

The truth is that Mitt understands that it is a race for delegates, not states. That’s why he stands so far ahead right now in total delegates despite McCain’s rise.

Yes, that means you might have to make a deal or two (”Hey, Governor Huckabee - how does Veep sound?”) to secure enough delegates at the convention, but that is the system.

Mitt is the only one playing the game correctly right now - everyone else is counting states.

[Rumierules]

McCain is falling like a rock in Florida.

I wonder if any lost sheep from ‘wideawakes’ will return to the fold shortly.

[dashing doofus]

Well, at least my state did SOMETHING right in the primary, by completely and utterly rejecting His Phoniness, Julie Annie.

This is just the best news! Yahooooooo!

[Alberta's Child]

I lost a bet on this when Giuliani formally announced his candidacy last year, but I still swear that he’s never had any serious intention of running for the White House. He has used this “campaign” to promote himself, generate business for his companies, and get a bunch of his lackeys on a payroll that he himself didn’t have to cover (i.e., they’d be paid by campaign donors and matching Federal funds).

[Mogollon]

I am amazed at the bounce McCain has gotten b/c of NH and SC. Incredible, really.

I know this is far-fetched, but the drive-by media pollsters may have purposely skewed the polls in favor of McQueeg.

[Mogollon]

Name a state in that south that Romney can win, Feb 5 or in the general.

If the south gives us McQueeg, they had better start learning spanish now because they are about to be inundated with illegals.

Ya think?
I cannot believe NY and NJ are going McCain over Rudy.
And, I hope not....eeeeeeeeeeek

[ConservativeDude]

I hear ya, but I doubt it.

I know this is not popular at FR, but the polls are typically and have been this primary season pretty well on the money. Sometimes they are not exact on the percentages, but the ordering is usually right.

The big exception is Obama’s loss in NH. No pollster got that right. But I don’t think that exception (And it WAS very much a big screw up) casts in doubt McCain’s lead, anymore than all the talk of Fred’s surge in SC cast any doubt in my mind that McCain would win in SC.

Even so, you may be right. Feb. 5 is coming soon enough.

[MCH]

The only good news is that after four or eight years of Hillary, if there’s a Constitutional electoral system left, the conservatives will retake the Republican Party.

I don't see that happening. I think conservatives will begin to abandon the Republican party, especially if McLame gets the nod. They won't regain it because that will just solidify the hold the RINOs now have on it. We'll be left with the Democrat Party (a.k.a. the Communist Party), the Republican Party (a.k.a. the Socialist Party), and conservatives will be left party-less unless a viable third party crops up (the "Conservative Party"?).

[DodoDreamer]

“He’s toast.”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a politician fall so hard, so fast.

Doesn’t look like Pat Robertson is going to be a ‘kingmaker’ this cycle.

[CommerceComet]

By the way...I am ALL for Thune in 12!!!!!

Jim Thune >>>>> all the primary candidates combined (except Fred). I'm fond of Haley Barbour in a brokered convention.

[TitansAFC]

-—”Doesn’t look like Pat Robertson is going to be a ‘kingmaker’ this cycle.”-—

I used to defend him here at FR. Now every Pat Roberston post will be quickly pinged (by me) with his whorish endorsement of Rudy Giuliani.

Pat Robertson is dead to me.

[Condor51]

I knew Rooty was Tanking, saw some new polls yesterday. But now he's behind in NJ too. Didn't know that, great news :-)

(Thanks for the PING, would have missed this thread.)

[CommerceComet]

“Pander enough” Please, that’s been McCain’s schtick. Claim you are ‘straight talking’ while stating liberal talking points, pandering to the press and the liberal/moderates and then laying it on thick about service to country so you get enough of the conservatives to fall for the RINO who was once a war hero.

And you're pushing Romney as an antidote to McCain's pandering? Mr. Pot, please meet Mr. Kettle.

[Condor51]

Thanks for the PING, this is great news :-)

[engrpat]

I have had the feeling for some time that Rudy always figured that he was the inevitable candidate and ran, no didn’t run, thinking no problem he would still be top dog after the others had been taken out of the race. Rudy, it don’t work that way.
