I gues we want Huck to nosedive more than Rudy, and have those go to Romney.

I cant believe with all the economic uncertainty people are going to trust the economically suspect/illiterate McCain.

If you think that a President Bill…agh… I mean Hillary Clinton won’t go after our guns, and appoint judges all across the land that will up hold illegal bans on guns, your just flat fooling yourself… that’s a scary thought that people actually believe that she would be afraid of the NRA

Rasmussen showed Romney up by 5, and adding in that most Fred supporters are uniting with Romney, SC damaged Huckabee, Florida is a closed primary, and that Romney is now campaiging primarily in Florida and has the money to outspend his opponents, I think we have very good momentum to win it.

I am optimistic.

How can you say he isn't in the pocket of the Chinese or anyone? He is obsessed with global warming and all that entails, yet you never hear him say anything about the biggest polluters -- the Chinese or India.

It was McCain who was the swing vote on stopping ANWR back in 2002... we would be well on our way to increasing out domestic supply and keeping our money in our own country.. yet he moans about our dependence on the ME.....

Just read the article "Aboard the Double Talk Express"

http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=285898399505289 snip....

Consider Michigan, home of the beleaguered American auto industry. McCain, together with Democrat John Kerry, were initial co-sponsors of the 35-mpg Corporate Average Fuel Economy mandate that just passed Congress. Estimates are that it will cost the domestic auto industry $85 billion over a decade and imperil thousands of jobs. McCain's campaign says he has never voted to increase taxes. Yet General Motors Vice Chairman Bob Lutz says the bill will add an average of $6,000 to the price of a new car, in effect a 21.4% tax hike on current average car prices.

"So the bumbling idiot from Arizona is ahead of the bumbling idiot from Massachusetts. Do tell!"

I'd take Rudy over either. At least he has the balls to take on the press, the dims and the Jihadis.

I believe he'd cut taxes...he's smart enough to avoid the gun issue by leaving it to the courts...and will leave all the social issues on the doorsteps of the states.

I don't think we'd get that from the other candidates.

Mitt wants to ban Guns of “Unusual lethality”

Did he actually say that? If so when?

Isn’t “Unusual lethality” an oxymoron? Isn’t lethal about as bad as it gets? I actually had to Google lethality because I wasn’t even sure it was a word. The quote lethality end-quote of a particular gun isn’t measure by anything more than the man, or woman, pulling the trigger. “Unusual lethality” is code for ‘the guns that congress thinks the paltry citizenry should be allowed to own’. Which most of us that understand the congress, understand they don’t care much for the guns that shoot.

Since Fred dropped out today, this poll does not reflect a possible shift from Fred to Romney. Romney should pick up many of those votes.

I believe the bulk of those votes will go to Giulliani.

Well, atleast Giuliani is tanking. That’s a silver-lining.

At least there's something to smile about in this.

How bad could McCain be by comparison?

He was in bed with Kennedy to shove amnesty down our throats. That's pretty bad. (And gives one a sickening image!)

“ARG has been as off and as Pro-McCain as it comes...”

The trick is to wait and see who Zogby says is ahead. That is, almost invariably, the person who actually loses.

“I believe the bulk of those votes will go to Giulliani.”

Hm.. Seeing as how Fred was recruited specifically to show Giuliani we had no interest in his liberal tripe, that seems doubtful.

McC sponsored the McCain/Lieberman gun show bill a while back, which would have given the federal government the administrative power to prohibit all gun shows, and to register everyone who attends a gun show according to http://www.trugop.org/Editorials/2ndAmendment.htm

I think you’ve assessed it well and we should be optimistic. Ultimately, I’m much more concerned about congress anyhow. And that is where a lot of the grim-ness lies.

Rasmussen reports a Romney lead. No telling what his sample design is, or ARG’s.

Clearly, from FR’s poll, Thompson’s people will gravitate to Romney.

The one oddball thing about Florida that can render it less meaningful is McCain’s amnesty bill can be metamorphosed into a pro Hispanic position and appeal to the Cubans.
