Julie Ann and the Huckster will fall right in behind McVain. Romney needs to hang on until Super Tuesday to see if we have a shot at a brokered convention. Then Fred needs to come back. It is a long shot, but I will not vote for McCain.

Romney apparently made some big mistakes in the time he spent in the state and in the time leading up to it. What were those mistakes?? It certainly wasn’t money.
Here are the facts.

McCain beat Romney:

-In endorsements. WHERE WERE ROMNEY’S ENDORSEMENTS?? BIG MISTAKE #1.

-In the Cuban vote, which was to be expected. Why? Because McCain is as pro-amnesty as they come and there are hundreds of thousands of illegal alien Cubans in Florida, AND because many of the LEGAL ones want to be able to bring in their loved ones from the Island.

-In the elderly grouping. That’s because McCain is, as are most elderly in Florida, liberal. Romney is not.

-In military/veterans votes. This was a forgone conclusion.

As I see it, the only way that Romney can beat McCain is by getting some whopper endorsements and going after McCain in NY and CA. Romney can ill-afford to lose those two states. Romney also needs to go after Illinois and PA, two important second tier states, delegate-wise. It is rumoured that McCain will win NJ and CT and DE. So, what is Romney to do? Should he forget the South? It would appear that the South is not going to go his way.

One thing IS clear: The Republican Establishment is NOT getting behind Romney and is instead backing McCain. Can Romney win as a populist conservative as Edwards is trying to do with the Dems? I don’t think so. Romney needs some heavy hitters, and FAST!

A very sad night for the Romney camp and for conservatives across the country...

"It shows one thing: I'm the conservative leader who can unite the party," It shows no such thing,Mr McCain. You can say that again. If this all does lead to a McCain nomination, then the Republican Party as we know it is done for. Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Gone. Not that McCain can win over Hillary. McCain won't get the "moderate" (i.e. lib) votes that he needs to compensate for the votes of real conservatives who will stay at home this November out of sheer, utter and total disgust. Like myself. Can anyone talk me down from the following "ledge"??? "I can't vote for John McCain, even if it means a President Mrs. Clinton"

Besides the war, does McCain even have a conservative position on anything?

With a high turn out among conservatives and a GOP-only primary going to McCain?

Certainly seems like he can make the point.

What it shows is that Rush Limbaugh has absolutely no influence in Republican politics. Since he started his jihad against McCain, McCain has won SC and FL. Maybe Rush should just shut up. I like Rush, but his influence on the political scene is highly overrated. He was all over the 2006 elections and we lost, He was all over the 2000 Presidential race and we won in the USSC, but lost the popular vote. I know Rush’s ego will never allow him to admit it, but while he is entertaining, he is also pretty irrelevant.

I’m starting to believe that recent elections and everything preceding it, is a dog and pony show - the result has already been determined. It’s just a matter of changing puppets - Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton

There is no way that I have heard of to audit polling, it could all be rigged. The MSM constantly bombarding people with the polling numbers, the biased coverage they give one candidate over another, and the flood of commercials packaged by Madison avenue ad execs, simply propel the lazy and uniformed public in the predetermined direction.

Since the elimination of all paper ballots and the introduction of machines, absentee ballots, mail-in ballots, same day registrations, no ID required - now voter fraud can be implemented at will. We have already seen some clever cheating in NH by the PIAPS.

I know so few republicans who want McCain - the amnesty, he voted against the Bush tax cuts, the campaign finance fiasco (legislation designed to help incumbents hold their seats, as men like Soros can donate millions through PACS)

He was finished months ago and suddenly like Kerry, he emerges from nowhere to win some early primaries. In the debates he has looked old, nasty and uninspired. Who is voting for McCain ???

It clear that MCain and The Hildebeast are the puppets of the status quo, the shadow government, whatever you want to call it. Either one winning destroys America within 20 years, as they let 15 - 20 MM illegals here now stay and allow more and more to flood in, relatives and more illegals. Within 20 years, at least 25% - 30% of America will speak Spanish as their first language.

The globalist will win, America sovereignty will be broken and our people along with our new Mexican neighbors will be part of the international work force in the new world elitist order. A revolting mix of international business entities and politicians will yield their power across the entire globe.

Maybe it was old people and all the military bases that gave him this win tonight, hopefully the last chance at any semblance of a conservative - Romney can outspend him and him the nomination.

But something in my gut is saying it’s all a fix, and we, the American people are now powerless to stop it. At this point either the emergence of a third real party of the people or an armed revolt is the only way to save the nation of our forefathers...We will not have time to develop a third party before November and win, but perhaps by 2012 a third party will be in place and we can take our country back.

Yeah, we’ll see how much uniting he does when the RP get 50% of the votes it did in 2004, and we have a lower vote total than we have had in 40 years.

Go for it John, you uniter you.
