Romney needs an unconventional strategy. (Vanity)

[Truthsearcher]

I think right now Romney needs to focus his attacks instead of on McCain, on Huckabee.

The McCain voters are not going to come over to him. It's the Huckabee voters that are potential persuadables for Romney. Because they already don't like McCain.

And Huckabee, the McCain stalking horse that he is, has been focusing all his attacks on Romney and not on McCain, because his job is to keep Romney from winning, not actually winning himself. Romney not addressing these attacks and focusing his attention on McCain is making a mistake and leaving his flanks unguarded.

By attacking Huckabee, Romney could set up Super Tuesday where Huckabee is knocked out of the race. If McCain ends Super Tuesday with say 700 delegates, that's still 400 short of what he needs for the nomination. If Huckabee is knocked out on Super Tuesday. It will give the conservatives coalition enough time to regroup and rally to defeat McCain in the remaining states in a head to head 2 man race, and deny McCain the remaining 400 delegates that he needs.

The goal for Romney on Super Tuesday should not be to catch McCain. But to knock out Huckabee. That should also be the objective of all Romney supporters the next few days. Instead of spending all your time and effort criticizing McCain, focus all your energy on persuading Republicans to not vote for Huckabee.

Even if Romney comes out of Super Tuesday with 300 delegates to McCain's 600-700. He can still win if it turns into a real 2 man race from that point on.

That isn’t true. Governor Huckabee is better qualified than Governor Romney.

And how do we get him? If McCain and Huckabee total up to 51% of the delegates, the most probable outcome of a brokered convention would be a McCain/Huckabee ticket. Is the Huckabee vote worth that risk?

“You sound just as foolish as that dunce, Pat Robertson when he claimed God was going to wipe out Disney with the hurricane that came through Florida a while back because gays were in the Park.”

The analogy fails. Santorum’s career in the Senate isn’t doing as well as Disney.

“You are the arrogant sort that brings reproach on God’s name and causes him to be mocked by other ignoramouses.”

You mean like Mickey and Minnie?

“And how do we get him?”

By voting for him.

“If McCain and Huckabee total up to 51% of the delegates, the most probable outcome of a brokered convention would be a McCain/Huckabee ticket.”

If Governor Huckabee gets 51 percent himself, the most probable outcome would be a Huckabee-Hunter ticket.

“Is the Huckabee vote worth that risk?”

There’s no risk. Governor Romney is actually a worse candidate than Senator McCain. A wolf isn’t as bad as a wolf in sheep’s clothing:

I have been a member of the Republican party since 1976 it is a sad day when a democrat can clean himself up and dress like a Republican and fool the uninformed. I am a member of the conservative base and I can tell you right now I see no difference in McCain, Clinton or Obama and I refuse to try and choose the lesser of the evils. I will vote but if these are my only choices then my only option is a write in and right now that would appear to be for Romney.
