Does anyone know if the polls for Maine have changed in the last few days, or are these the numbers that were expected.

(just joining in. sorry if this was on an earlier thread)

Sadly this is getting ZERO coverage in the MSM. Ive have not seen it mentioned even once.

None of the states Romney wins get much coverage. The one the media did talk about a little was Michigan but according to them didn't mean much because Romney's from there.

Where Goober gets no traction, McCain loses big.

1. CNN website (yea I know but that’s the easiest for me to find).

2. Haven’t done the math but I don’t think that would put Romney in the lead, but he’ll only be behind by single digit.

McCain needs the help here a lot more than Romney does:

Who do you now support for the Republican nomination? (1/22)

While Romney might be a bit of a RINO, McCain is a fascist

Gun Owners of America gave McCain an F-- rating, NRA flunked him too. McCain authored McCain-Feingold, that atrocity against the 1st Amendment. And lets not forget McCains involvement with the Keating Five

Romney is a RINO, but McCain is far worse

I think this goes over several days and only a small percent is in now. The media is waiting for McCain to pull it out. I pray Mitt wins this.

Wow, he spent a whole hour and a half with Joe Isuzu Romney ! I’m not impressed. Santorum jumped the shark endorsing Specter, and it cost him his Senate seat. He’s not a good judge of liberal RINOs. Go do some research on Romney, check his record against his mouth, they don’t match. Never trust a pathological liar like Romney. Never.

If it’s a Romney win, it will be another state Fox News says we must ignore.

Did you see Santorum spent a whole hour and a half with him ? Wow ! A whole hour and a half. As for me, I’ve only spent (in real time) probably a year of my life in review of his actions, his record, his rhetoric, et al. I can’t believe I considered Santorum Presidential material. This guy was in Washington 16 years and apparently can no longer smell the distinct odor of liberal horse$hit. That’s what happens when you stay in the cesspool that long, no matter how good you were at the start, eventually you become part of the problem. Fred had had it after 8 years.

Refresh me on Specter incident?

I find it more than incredible that you claim to "not remember" what led to Santorum's ouster as a senator, especially given the following quote, concerning Santorum's backing of Arlen the Specter, is a fact: "The anger among the pro-life base of the Republican Party was palpable."

Or where comments, such as the following, were made to Santorum:

...his embrace of Mr. Specter has probably dampened enthusiasm among Mr. Santorum's conservative base, where turnout is a concern. Indeed, one of the questions Mr. Santorum faced at the town hall meeting was a sarcastic "What's it like working with Sen. Specter?"

Santorum Defends His Undefensable Support for Specter

Santorum’s Shame

Outside Santorum's Sanctum

Instead of telling us who we shouldn’t vote for why not promote the one you think is better. Who’s the man iyo, I’ve gone through your posts and couldn’t find the answer but maybe I missed it.
