The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Florida shows former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney earning 33% of the vote while Arizona Senator John McCain attracts 27%.The poll was conducted Saturday afternoon before Florida Governor Charlie Crist announced his endorsement of McCain and the race is fluid enough that both men have a realistic chance of winning on Tuesday. Rasmussen Markets data showed that expectations for a McCain victory rose following the Crist announcement.

Rasmussen :
“Romney leads 42% to 22% among conservative voters while McCain leads 43% to 25% among moderates.”
*Moderates is a euphemism for liberals.
It is that lack of anger management that has become the hallmark distinction of McStain....
don’t count your chickens. vote!

Heh. Never discount the "gut" feeling. :)
I am new and forgot to post it. I posted the link in anohter post. Here it is again: http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/florida/election_2008_florida_republican_primary
I think the poll is right ....all my FL Republican friends will be voting for ROMNEY too !!
McCain might feel good about his Crist and Martinez endorsements but I think it was the kiss of death !!
Crist and Martinez are NOT as popular as the Media makes them out to be !! Crist’s Amendment #1 (Real Estate Tax solution) will be going down to DEFEAT too !!
I feel bad about Rudy ...but ROMNEY is my man !!
With Fred out ....his votes go to Romney NOT McCain !!
Mitt is as RINO as it can possibly get, but he has nice hair.
Obama and the Clintons | ||
Rudy's pushback: Good crowds | ||
It's not exactly Arnold... | ||
Romney up with new testimonial ad | ||
Delegate math and the black vote |

Ditto. I didn’t start with Mitt, but he’s definitely the most palatable of the remaining contenders and would have my vote.
I think it will be Romney vs Hillary. Slam dunk for Mitt.
Rudy isnt as liberal as ppl think he is...his tax plan is awesome.
Agree on his tax plan.
Fred was the man, but I may vote for Rudy tomorrow.
I guess we are not friends then.
Three votes from this houshold not for mitt.
How do I put the link in the toppost?
yea..
Okay, heads up. Several things are important here:
1) McCain’s campaign is staffed by professionals. They saw this effect unfolding before we got this data. That is why they pulled the trigger to try desperately to redirect the debate to Iraq when they knew the talk shows this morning would be filled with Economic Stimulus Package.
2) They also orchestrated the Crist endorsement with the same scheduling need, though certainly that needed to happen before Tuesday regardless.
3) The Romney team is also staffed by professionals so their response was to undermine McCain’s Straight Talk mantra by going right after the word “dishonest” and it is THAT word that is getting all the play this morning. Brilliant tactical response.
4) The reason it is brilliant is that team of cynical business trained people recognized that the MSM is on the hunt for ratings. A dispassionate discussion of Iraq, that has been squeezed dry of all interest, does not have ratings boosting potential like a fight over whether McCain is dishonest. They KNEW the MSM would latch on that word.
5) The McCain pros will know either today or late tonight if they were successful when the night’s polling sample is collected. If they attack again with something else tomorrow, we’ll know how it played.
Look at these bozos running... they all look like crap...
Not one of them looks good except Romney. None of these bozos have ever done anything that wasnt connected with some sort of government excess.
Romney doesnt NEED the job, he can do just fine on his own in the private sector. The rest would be groveling for chump change if it wasnt for some type of government work or insider contacts with a state enterprise.
I have seen lots of convoluted, meandering definitions of conservatism, but when the rubber hits the road, who would be left standing with no worries in THE PRIVATE SECTOR based solely on their own merit???
Romney is the only one of them...
The last thing the Democrats want is a tall, vibrant, healthy man like Mitt Romney standing next to their short, fat old hag during the national debates.
I must have woken up in a parallel universe. A liberal from Massachusetts who suddenly “sees” the Republican light and pom-poms come out for the guy. Amazing.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Obama and Clinton will be running together and MYTH WILLARD just isn't going to be able to beat that combo.
Keep dreaming though.
