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%.

"No, people are just sick and appalled that some people on the forum are on such a destructive maniacle quest to besmirch one decent man like Romney....It ain't happening. Not on FR, anyway. Romney has more support than ever among freepers. "

“My goal is to elect conservatives. Free Republic’s goal is to elect conservatives. Romney is NO conservative.”

What is the Queeg part?

'Queeg' stands for Captain Queeg, commander of the Caine.

I believe McCain shares a lot with the psychotic Bogart character.

But there’s no difference between McCain and Romney... /sarc

You likely meant to post that article to The Lion.

Don’t bother asking. No answer is coming. Even links like the one below won’t be read or commented on. Those in the know understand that McCain and Huckabee are for amnesty. There is no proof that Romney is for amnesty. In fact, his stand on immigration is as tough as Fred’s was. I supported Fred and voted for Mitt in Florida. GO MITT!

I suppose he’s the only person they won’t call despicable for saying that.

Let’s see... $50 abortions, gay marriage, liberal judges that let murderers free, party-killer, pathological and chronic lying, bribery, Deval Patrick...

I hope you’re enjoying Bill Nelson’s 2nd term, you earned it.

‘Nuff said.

Kobach works at Romney’s pleasure, not vice-versa.

Regardless of who you support, please vote in the new FR poll:

"Which GOP presidential hopeful do you want to see win the most delegates on Super Tuesday?"

Member Opinion
Mitt Romney	75.9%		211
Mike Huckabee	10.8%		30
Ron Paul	7.9%		22
John McCain	5.4%		15
	100.0%		278

He has been ahead in the polls there for a while, this is wishful thinking if you expect him to gain any momentum for super Tuesday.... Not a single network is covering it. Your just setting yourself up for getting even more angry when MCcain pounds everyone.. I like Romney, I think he is a great guy.. but... there is reality... he is DOA on after Tuesday. The reason is not because McCain is better, its because Hukkabee is splitting the base vote with Romney.

[supercat]

I wonder where the clapping graphic that always gets posted is from. It reminds me of some Monty Python stock footage, but I wonder where they got it.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Because Romney has a record of killing the GOP and stepping on its corpse to seek promotion. McCain ain’t accomplished that... yet.

Kobach works at Romney’s pleasure, not vice-versa.

Which misses the point. But you knew that.

[cdnerds]

After Super Tuesday... he will be..

[fieldmarshaldj]

No, it’s entirely the point. Romney hires yes-men.

[TheLion]

I think hucks vote will fade a little. Don’t bet on McCain yet. there is a long way to go.

Does anyone have an updated delegate count?
