A Post-Fred Mitt Surge? (Florida primary)
The Corner at National Review ^ | January 24, 2008 | Kathryn Jean Lopez

Posted on 01/24/2008 6:12:59 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

An e-mail, for what it's worth:

K-Lo:

The Mason Dixon numbers make sense based on what I am hearing anecdotally down here from other conservatives in Florida. Fred was the consensus first choice, followed by Romney, and then distantly Rudy, McCain, and then Huckabee. With Fred out, virtually everyone I've spoken to is shifting their support down to Mitt. A lot of wishful sentiments for a Romney/Thompson ticket as well. Thanks for all that you guys do.


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Extended News; Politics/Elections; US: Florida
KEYWORDS: election; electionpresident; elections; fl2008; fred; fredthompson; gop; johnmccain; mikehuckabee; mitt; mittromney; republicans; romney; rudygiuliani
Mitt would be smart to do that, if Fred doesn't get the nod at a brokered convention, that is! I see Romney winning, as McCain, Huckabee and Rudy are fading fast. Mitt reminds me of Dubya in many ways, both good and bad.

Mitt is a whole lot better than either of theses nit-wits:

Perhaps we should nickname him "X"? (folows "W")

Interesting.

Hunter was my 1st choice, Thompson my 2nd, and Romney my 3rd. K-Lo may be on to something.

I’m reminded of a woman who said everyone she knew voted for McGovern. Not saying anything about Mitt one way or the other.

It will be interesting to see how things play out but it certainly won’t be smooth sailing for McCain. Right now I don’t see anyone acquiring enough delegates to win the nomination outright. It might be good to keep the vote split. I don’t see Rudy staying in the race unless he pulls off a miracle. Huckabee will probably drag on till the end which will help McCain. I’ll wait and see who comes out on top. If Fred is on the ticket then I’ll support it. Huckabee supporters have been thinking McCain will choose him as a VP. Can anyone say cold day in hell?

Egad another pro-Romney thread. Where black is white and white is black and his supporters are compelled to clarify they are not homosexuals nor support homosexual marriage.

“down to” Mitt - pretty much sums it up

“If Fred is on the ticket then I’ll support it.”

Without hesitation.

I like Fred, but I’d rather have Santorum as VP

Santorum is a reason I’m having a hard time choosing who to vote for here in FL.

He said that a Giuiliani win splits Rudy and McCain on Super Tuesday and Mitt wins as a result. I like his thinking. I will probably vote for Rudy.
