I'm angry about how things are going, I won't mince my words.
To watch the Establishment shove McCain into us disgusts me.
Lets look at how to win next Tuesday with tactical voting for Romney in key states with Huck being the only option down South.
For starters, Romney is a winner in Massachusetts. He's ahead 20 points in last week's polling, at least. I expect a win for Mitt in Utah, plus polling shows a big Romney lead in Colorado for the caucuses there next Tuesday.
Romney has three states in his bag.
Now he has to get some others. I hope Illinois is one of them, plus Missouri. Missouri is 58 WINNER TAKE ALL DELEGATES.
I think the South is a lost cause with Huck in there now getting organized pro-life support. The state affiliates of National Right To Life want pro-life voters parked with Huck next Tuesday for whatever reason.
That will firmly prevent any Romney chance in those states which either Huckabee or McCain will win.
Down south West Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and Oklahoma, its a vote for Huckabee to beat McCain in those states.
I expect McCain to win some of them unfortunately.
Now out west Montana looks like a state for Romney to try for.
In the East McCain will sweep New York (101 WINNER TAKE ALL DELEGATES), New Jersey and I'm certain of Connecticut.
Delaware is also a McCain win, along with Arizona, although Mitt will get a substantial vote there from his fellow Mormons.
Alaska is a wild card. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ron Paul do well there. Maybe the vote will mix there to a Huck win.
Minnesota is voting as well and I don't know what to expect there. Maybe Mitt could do something there or in North Dakota. But I suspect McCain wins in both.
That brings us to the big prize. California. 173 delegates.
This is the one state that would give Mitt any bragging rights next Tuesday and so he must win there.
It will take an all out conservative effort with amnesty being a key issue.
Take the gloves off and pound McCain. Hold him to Kennedy-McCain, McCain-Kennedy, etc.
Is Tom McClintock in on Mitt's side?
Right now Ahnold is uncommitted. He may be held back to endorse McCain at the last minute for what its worth.
California is the key to Romney's survival and viability.
If he loses there McCain will have it for sure.
I guess it comes down to the lesser of two evils.
I pick Romney. McCain should be done, he had his
chance.
SO where does McCain really stand on illegal immigration.
He never changed his mind. He will support amnesty if was elected. But Hilllary will be president, so it does not
matter. If the country is going to hell, let a Dem do it.
Anybody know how to get a hold of Tonya Harding? PM me if you know, I will take it from there :)
Plus, he's psychotic.
McCain vs Hillary or Hussein. This country is so screwed.
I don’t know how any California Republican could vote for John McCain.

Why not ,, they voted for the Governator...
I am disgusted with how the people in power get the advantages. It should not be like that. Super delegates and other nonsense have got to go.
Define establishment...
The usual liberal elite schools (Harvard, Yale)?
The super rich?
The world bankers?
The American dynasties?
The Moral Majority?
It just keeps coming to mind all those people who insist that this is indeed Satan’s world....
Judging John McCain
By COLLIN LEVY
January 30, 2008; Page A17
What if campaign finance reform was more important to conservative voters than abortion? If that sounds improbable, have another look at the judicial nomination gauntlet soon to be faced by Sen. John McCain. Despite a pro-life voting record, conservative court watchers are questioning whether he could be trusted to fill seats on the Supreme Court....

“Romney must be stopped. He is the threat to America. “
Perhaps true, but I don’t think he can win the nomination at this point, so a vote for Romney is a vote for a brokered convention.
I admire McCain’s service to the country. Also, his unwavering support of an unpopular war might have won me over. I say might bc he supported one of the worst bills I have ever seen in the immigration bill debacle.
That bill would mean in essense, that the USA is no longer a sovereign nation. And he co-authored it.
He is not fit to be President, nor is anyone who would support such a bill.
One cannot be “tough on terror” when they support a bill which basically opens the borders.
I hope Arnold does come out and support McCain. Given his popularity as of late with the voters, that could be the kiss of death for McCain.
WE had our two conservative appointments. The Dems and MSM think that a court should be liberal. McCain will never appoint conservative judges. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.
He wants to be liked by the MSM. Go away John, dont come
back.
WHo knows what Romney would do? WE might have a chance.
McCain will be such a weak candidate, the MSM won’t have to savage him. They’ll be afforded the delicious luxury of going after bigger game - us!!
Thank you, I need the laugh this morning. Bravo to you!
NOT true, MA is very very LIBERAL, I would not be surprised if Romney doesn't pull his home state. Every person who is involved in the 21 state voting process on Tuesday, NEEDS TO GET OUT AND VOTE FOR MITT. McLAME CANNOT be the next president, we will be sooooooooooooooooooo screwed.
Yea, I’m in Ga and was thinking about that...holding my nose (in a big way!) and voting for hucklberry solely to help stop McCain. If something miraculous happens and Romney somehow shoots up in Ga poll’s then I’ll vote for who I really want out of these 3 ( Romney). But that’s got a snow ball’s chance in Hades down here. If McLame takes it all the way to November, then I’ll just be voting local, State and congressional ballots. I’ll skip the Presidential page.
With Rudy endorsing McCain in California today it pretty much seals the deal. McCain will sweep up in California.
If nominated, McCain better choose a dynamite VP choice or the GOP is in trouble in November. Sure many of us will hold our nose and vote against Hilary, but how many will send him a check or stick a McCain yard sign in their yard?
