Just for pure entertainment value, I'd love to see Obama take CA, NJ... and completely blow Billary away on Tuesday. The meltdown possibilities would be huge. Just get Bill near the press and watch him explode.
Well, what do we have hear. Zogby says McCain is starting to crash and burn.
Lol...I am so with you on this.
My Gawd...I love it! Go Mitt!! Now watch all the heads start spinning!!! Woohoo!!!
First of all we know that a very large segment of the Republican party does not like John McCain. He has betrayed too many people too many times.
There is no way that McCain can lock up the nomination on Super Tuesday. If McCain won every delegate up for grabs he would still be a few votes shy. And he is not going to win a huge victory on Super Tuesday. He may win a majority fo the super tuesday delegates but he won't win them all.
He may end up with 6 or 7 hundred delegates but he will need almost 1200 to win on the first ballot. I think that all Romney has to do is keep McCain from having enough votes to win on the first ballot.
After Super tuesday we have weeks of campaigning with another 1000 delegates up for grabs at the rate of about 6 4 per week. And McCain will have to campaign in all those races. The more he gets hit by local as well as national media the worse he will do. He is not good on his feet speaking. Over those weeks he will surely blow it.
Watch what happens as McCain gets 3/4 of the delegates he needs and then can't get the rest. It is not over until it is over.
If no one wins the nomination on the first ballot, watch for Romney to win it on the second.
McCain has little experience turning losers into winners. It is how Romney made his hundreds of millions.
Actually since New York is WTA, and California is proportioned and a close race, it looks like NY will be the big Delegate prize for McVain.
Looks like Romney might take CA! Wouldn’t that be sweet? Ol Arnold and all the rest of the CA Rinos could be eating crow.
Snowe and Collins got a big bird handed to them tonight with Mitt winning over 50% of the vote in Maine.
People I feel something happening. The Straight Jacket Express could be imploding.
We just can’t let the RNC and a bunch of Open Border traitors take our country from us. Get out and vote on Tuesday and send Mitt a donation. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!
Wow, this is turning out to be quite an interesting primary. Just when the media thought they had it all figured out, it turns on a dime, lol. I want to see Hillary sweat this one out, however, the Obama crowd are worrisome, they seem to be jumping on the bandwagon and according to an article I read about some of them, they have no idea what the guy stands for.
I was listening to the radio tonight for about an hour, the calls were all pro Romney (I’m in CA).
It is over.
John McCain to be the Republican Presidential Nominee in 2008
Last Price: 91.5
Mitt Romney to be the Republican Presidential Nominee in 2008
Last Price: 7.9
two words: military strategy. Something that draft dodging liberal from Massachusetts will never understand.
McCain knows exactly what he is doing. He has, after all, won and was re-elected many times with very little money. He also has many many real close friends. Unlike Romney.
the problem is, Romney doesn’t really believe in markets...
Oh, not really.
it is...for romney’s kid’s inheritance money. So much for ROI hehehe
You realize that these are people who are, essentially, gambling? These prediction markets follow the days news, not vice versa.
Military strategy?
Please tell me one military operation that John McCain was in charge of strategic planning.
There is no evidence whatsoever that McCain has any above average understanding of military strategy.
He was in congress since 1982. He comes from a very strong military background. He knows practically everyone who’s who in the military. This is not some one term failed governor we’re talking about.
If he was, he wouldn’t have this

Now if you think some draft dodging pretty boy from massachusetts can hold his own against a Captain, Purple Heart and experienced Senator who has seen the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, Bosnia, Iraq and everything in between, as well as understood what it’s like to have experience real torture in Vietnam, you can bet all the money you want. It aint my money.
Drawing a high lottery number is quite different than draft dodging wouldn’t you admit? He entered the lottery and drew #300.
come on, his whole family enjoyed military deferment for many years. And so, instead of ending up in Vietnam, he spent his time in france.

Whatever the excuse, it doesn’t matter. He still won’t be any match for mccain
And mitt will be creamed by hillary if he tries to defend Iraq policy.
