Romney is chuckling all the way to the nomination, as things stand now. Let’s pray they change.
Latest Iowa Poll is he’s leading there among possible caucus goers. This is because anti-Romney is split too many ways.
Latest Florida Poll, he’s leading there...first Southern state he’s ever polled as leading, same reason, anti-Romney vote split too many ways.
This is the McCain formula for the nomination. As we know, it nominated McCain but he could not win the general.
Romney is almost a lock unless something changes to unify the anti-Romney vote.
Also, almost sure to lose the general due to lack of base support, but even if he were to win, all we could say is, not as bad as Obama.
And who would we really have...he’s been all over the political map?
"This is the McCain formula for the nomination. As we know, it nominated McCain but he could not win the general."
but this is what makes romney so different. Romney got the conservative vote against McCain. Ann Coulter supported him and Laura Ingraham said he was the conservative's conservative. You can't get much better than that, right? Romney talked about having all 3 legs of the stool. That was in 2008.
He comes back and is now getting Perry over immigration. Many people will shout out "Yeah! Romney, you go get that illegal loving Perry!" And Perry responds "uh...today Romney was ummm for race to the top when ummm yesterday he was for umm Roe vs wade or something..."
So yes, Romney will split conservatives while he gets the rino's but it is much more complicated than the McCain strategy.
