Game's ON... My prediction... Obama in a blowout, McCain by 5.
I support Fred but know it is a losing battle. I will support whoever is nominated but have little enthusiasm for any of the rest.
That is two separate issues. You said Most of FR has no candidate, and that is wrong.
As far as “bashing” Mitt Romney, it is a two way street. Very early on some of the harshest and most vile attacks I have seen in some time were from Mitt supporters towards Thompson and worse his wife. The Administrators had the good tastes to eliminate many of those posters and and their posts.
Free Republic is not a “Republican” site, it is a conservative one. Mitt has more than a few historical issues in that regard,none the least of which is his use, or should I say misuse of Ronald Reagan’s name.
If you don’t like these “vile attack”s, get together with your Mitt buddies and stop attacking everyone else and you may get some where. Insulting other and Free Republic itself, as some of your peers have done, will be returned in kind.
So suck it up or quit.
He won more points in WY than McCain did in NH. There, he won 66% and McCain won zero.
I've no doubt that the Media will spin it as that, but the score really is, in three small states:
Huck has a first, a no score, and a third. Total 15 delegates
Romney has a second, a first, and a second. Total 24 delegates
McCain has a fourth, a no score, and a first. Total 17 delegates
Thompson has a third, a second, and seventh. Total 8 delegates
The Cougar Club is just the athletic booster club for BYU alumni. IOW you send money and get some priority for buying tickets to games, invites to pre/post game parties with other alumni who sent money, etc. Most members wouldn’t even have met each other. BYU is a huge school and the club as 4000 current members (and anybody who sends in a $100 annual donation is a member for that year).

You're absolutely right! Thanks very much.
I shouldn't try to post past midnight, lol.
You forgot "Great hair." ;-)
Surely you don’t really believe this!
Have you seen the polls? In EVERY state? He’s even behind in Tennessee!
“Ditto, but it doesn’t give him a free pass or any moral authority to be so wrong on everything else, imho.”
Totally agree. That’s the point I was making. Funny, but there are a few significan issues I agree with Ron Paul about, but, in a similar vein, he’s so screwy and messed up on so many other issues that I wouldn’t dream of voting for him. Frankly, Paul is the only R candidtate I can say I wouldn’t even vote for in the general.
Doesn’t McCain have only 10 (7 NH + 3 IA)?
And doesn’t Thompson have 6 (3 IA + 3 WY)?
You make a good point, but, in addition to his liberalism and his inexperience, I did say:
“Add to that the fact that there’s so little known about who he really is and what he really thinks and he’s almost like a Manchurian candidate in some ways.”
You are shedding some good light on the mystery. I hope these kinds of associations are properly highlighted if he should be the nominee.
I betcha couldn’t help thinking of Rudy in drag surrendering his stilletos to John McCain.
Obama is extremely vulnerable on national security, IMHO. Hillary really can't go there, though, because the Dim moonbat base agrees with him. Just about any Republican, except the Huckster or Ronpaul, cleans Obama's clock on the issue, however.
Depends on how you count the IA delegates, which are technically uncommitted. My numbers are from Green Papers, which assigned the IA delegates proportionally to the vote. They also have a “sanctioned soft” count and an “unsanctioned soft” count, which will depend on if the penalties are implemented at the convention.
Either way, Romney has the most delegates at this time.
: )
Incourageable you are.
That stilletto heel hand off I would love to see.
OTOH Obama is not a jokiing matter. He is a very bad boy.
Many of us are quietly and slowly making sure everyone has access to the facts.
Thanks. I’m still trying to figure out the gory details of how this all works.
That's what actually did the trick. A lot of non-residents wound up voting.
Guess I will never know because I could never do the things the Clinton’s have done. I could never imagine myself masturbating in the oval office bathroom sink or setting up a hit on Ron Brown.
That’s actually the problem, I can’t seem to get it through my thick head, that life is not fair, that immoral people do not pay a price for their crimes (on earth), that decency does not win out, that our country is lost already. Something inside of me just won’t let go of the fight.
But the day is growing closer and it won’t be long until I throw in the towel.
we’ll see. IN 2004, about 10% were same day registration (26K of 290K) we’ll see if it was any greater this time. Also, Hillary outperformed expectations by about the same amount across the board - even if you really believe in busloads of complete strangers being allowed to vote with no local ID or phonied ID and no one notices (which I don’t) you still have to explain how those busloads fanned out proportionately across the state.
We’ll await confirmation!
Yes, yes, and by all accounts he needed to do better than that.
Sooner or later in this campaign it’s going to dawn on the electorate “Romney can’t win”...
Attrition.
