Congratulations John McCain (on his victory in N.H.)!
Now, as a Romney supporter my take on it is, actually I’ve very pleased with Romney’s showing in N.H. with a very strong second place showing. I think Romney is going to pick up some momentum, after all I figured McCain would take N.H. as he is a very popular candidate in that state and I am glad that he will have a celebration night cap.
I am also glad for Hillary Clinton on the Democratic side with her win in N.H., because though I support any Republican over the Democrat field, I surely would rather see Hillary Clinton than a Obama whom I simply feel would be the worst case disaster for our country at all levels, and he is a big phony besides though not saying much for the other Democrats.
And besides – I think a Republican would have a good chance of putting up a good, down and dirty, debate and real politik with Hillary one on one in the national election, so besides the fact that I prefer her over Obama, I also feel Republicans have a better chance nationally against her than the other guy.
So it looks like the “world has come a little back to normal” tonight.
S.C. is next, right? I think McCain is leading in the polls there, correct?
Looks like the “beginning of the end” of Huckabee, right?
No big loss to me.
Though, I would have liked to see Thompson do better.
Over all, I think it’s been a very good night. I’m still backing Mitt.
No. Huckabee is currently leading. In a choice between Huck and McCain, any Conservative should live in fear.
There is very little difference in political philosophy between Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Intellectually and politically John McCain and Hillary Clinton are opposed sides of the same coin. You get some variation on specific issues like Abortion but over all they share the same philosophical outlook. If anything, McCain has shown himself even more unprincipled then Hillary. Hillary at least will stick to her guns on this or that issue, McCain is total politician who would sell his mother to win a vote.
GOP runs McCain, count this life long Conservative activist out for the season no matter who the Dems run.
With McCain we get politically the worse of both worlds, a mislabled "Conservative" Administration that will play kissy face non stop with the Democrats on everything. We end up getting all the political blame while the Democrats get their political agenda relentlessly advanced by a supposedly "Conservative" President.
