Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, had 59% of the vote with 3% of the towns holding caucuses reporting. Ron Paul trailed with 19%, John McCain had 18%, and Mike Huckabee and undecided votes each had about 2%.

"You discount Santorum, but he’s in good company when it comes to Mitt’s immigration position, for example. Romney also has Tancredo, Sheriff Arpaio and Kris Kobach."

Tancredo the back-stabbing Judas and Windbag Arpaio, the man who made Butch Napolitano Governor of Arizona ? Yeah, great company. Too bad about Kobach, I used to like him.

Fortunately, my family will cancel out your vote. :-)

Who are they voting for?

[Tennessee Nana]

I have watched a lot of debates, Democrat and Republican, and can tell you Romney is the best.

The best we can hope for with Juan McCain is that he picks Fred or Mark Sanford as his running mate and drops dead after the general election. In fact, I’m counting on it. He’s already older than his dad was when he bought the farm. See, you gotta look on the bright side. ;-)

“the McCain bots are working double-time to spam these threads”

Not to mention Huckabee’s. Mitt Romney is the man of the hour. There’s something about him . . . Presidential!! Go, Mitt!!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Dude ! :-P

[nicmarlo]

Romney is portraying himself as a conservative. He is not. His record contradicts those claims. Those who support him continue posting half-truths about who he is and what he has done. Because of that, there are people, like me, who will, therefore, continue posting the rest of the truth about who he is and what he has done. To you, that’s called “bashing.” To me, it’s making sure the “whole” person and history is not revised.

[Son House]

there’s no Conservative to vote for. At this point, I’m just here to stop Romney

Donate to the Democrats. I’m here to support lower tax rates.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I find your candidate offensive, Miss Kitty. And if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the litter box. :-)

[TheLion]

Amazing how lousy McCain does when there are no Dems and Indys to help him out!

[fieldmarshaldj]

James Garfield. :-)

He’s tanned, rested, and ready.

If McCain gets the nomination and no other strong third-party option emerges, I'll be getting behind Paul too. He's wrong on the war, at least from the standpoint of denying the legitimate reasons for invading Iraq and the nature of the Islamist threat (it ain't about bases in Saudi Arabia), but I actually agree with some of his foreign policy. Socially, he's a conservative dream. And he does seem to be the only man in either field who knows the first thing about the constitution.

If he wasn't so spectacularly off-base about Iraq, he probably would have been my candidate a long time ago. But he is, and that's relegated him to last-resort status for me. I'm more comfortable gambling on the sincerity of Romney's conversions than I am with Paul's total misread of the Iraq situation. That's the only real difference between us on this.

[Saundra Duffy]

Mitt Romney is the only Republican who can debate Hillary or Obama on health care with credibility because he actually did something instead of yack yack yack. And health care is a big deal with Americans. A very big deal. Go, Mitt!!

[Tennessee Nana]

He has the experience, the demeanor and skill.

_______________________________________________

FOUR years as a liberal Gov appeasing the liberals in Mass is considered experience ???

Huck has many more years than that

Or his membership as one of the Kennedy wing of the Republican Party ???

McCain has that beat

demeanor ???

He picks fights in public...hes a bully

Skill...It doesnt take much skill to be a RINO

[fieldmarshaldj]

"Mitt Romney is the man of the hour. There’s something about him . . . Presidential!! Go, Mitt!!"

He sure does remind me of a President... what's his name... oh, yeah... Bill Clinton. They both sure love lying to the rubes.

[Tennessee Nana]

There ya go

[fieldmarshaldj]

"Donate to the Democrats. I’m here to support lower tax rates."

But you're voting for a Democrat.

[Saundra Duffy]

You goal in life is to “stop Romney”? What a sad goal. Fortunately, there aren’t very many of you ghouls out there. Romney is a fine family man.

[Vision]

Paul is at 19%. Not sure why I left that out.

[tomnbeverly]

Are you people even serious? Sometimes I feel like I’m in twilight zone on this board recently...

Mitt Romney is getting Cheers... The guy that morped his pro choice position to pander to the base... is being vaulted...

The man that raised taxes as Governor many times but explains them away as fines, fees, levies... getting lauded on Freerepublic..

The man that never had to stake a position on illegal immigration before the Conservatives made Amnesty a four letter word.... Getting cheered like he was Duncan Hunter...

and in the begining days of the surge when Mitt had no comment about it and McCain basically said I’d rather win a war then a presidency...Romney gets a thumbs up on FR as a great foregin policy maker? When Romney does say as to timetables... “ I think its something that we could negotiate secretly with the Iraq leaders”.... and gets a pass from Sean and Rush regarding that defeatist mentality ...

WOW let me check again and make sure I didn’t wander over to DU by mistake....
