ATLANTA -- The pundits may have counted him out, but former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney sounds like a man who plans to keep going, no matter what happens at the polls on Super Tuesday. Romney acknowledged he is the underdog, but said he would "surprise" people who were counting on a McCain sweep. "I am definitely the underdog compared to Sen. McCain, a number of people have proclaimed that," Romney told reporters after a rally in downtown Atlanta. "But the nice thing about being the underdog is they typically win." Romney said he sensed a "shift in the tide" as Republicans contemplated McCain as the potential nominee. "I plan on doing real well on Tuesday," he said. "I don't think we are halfway through as of Tuesday, maybe about halfway, and then we will go on and continue to rack up delegates, and I am planning on winning this nomination." At every stop in a whirlwind tour of battleground states, Romney has knocked McCain as a "liberal" who votes for higher taxes or wants to allow illegal immigrants to become citizens. He constantly insists that it has become a two-man race, even as former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee continues in the race, effectively splitting the conservative vote with Romney.

Cool!
McCain Considers Setting Benchmarks for Iraqis (January 2007)
LOL
McCain...
* Was a champion of the Law of the Sea. Now says he’d vote against it
* Was a co-sponsor of the DREAM act (illegal immigrant children can become citizens by graduating high school). Then voted against his own bill.
* Sponsored legislation to reveal grassroots lobbyists to reveal their donors. Now opposes his own measure.
* He was so into “campaign finance reform” that name is on the bill — “McCain Feingold”. Now says he opposes some of the provisions of his own bill.
* Championed immigration reform law for three years. Now would vote against it.
* Spent “decades” trying to take both sides of the aisle on Roe v. Wade, and now has spent “decades fighting for the unborn”
* Voted against the Bush tax cuts and now pledges to make them permanent.
Flip, flop, flip, flop...
How many times do we need to b stuck in the eye by a Left-wing RINO before we break his stick?
It is time to stand up for the Conervative Principles and vot for ROMNEY!!
McCain's gotta be making John Kerry jealous with all those flip-flops of his. *snark!*
Dear Lord, please give us the leader that pleases you - not the leader we deserve.
Ahh, Sounds like you would rather have mc cain, cross the line any time the polls change his mind
“I am praying for a Romney VICTORY!”
So am I! Mitt Romney was my second choice when Fred dropped out, and I certainly see him as the most conservative candidate left in the race. I expect Romney to do well tomorrow and go on to win the nomination. GO MITT!
That's how.
Than Romney. Heck yes, I’d rather have McCain than Romney. Romney is the least conservative, least trustworthy candidate in the Republican field. Romney raised taxes, put in place universal health care in Massachusetts (with a $50 co-pay for abortions . . . and the program is 400 million dollars over expected costs this year alone), Romney appointed homosexual activists as judges and has tried to have it every which way on the surge and on Iraq. I much prefer McCain. I voted Huckabee in Florida and am hoping some favorite sons arise as well in the states to try to bring this to a contested convention where a real conservative can be nominated. But I’m in the group that will not vote for Romney at all if he is nominated. First time in 27 years that I won’t vote for the Republican for President if that is the circumstance. Lucky for me, voters don’t like Romney so he won’t win the nomination.
"Which GOP presidential hopeful do you want to see win the most delegates on Super Tuesday?

I joke about escaping the liberals up there, but the sad truth is that taxes in Massachusetts are WAY LOWER than they are here in Georgia. State income, sales, property, we paid much less up there...plus there is no tax on food or clothing in Massachusetts, and there's certainly no stupid "SPLOST" option where counties can vote to increase their sales tax for pet projects.
I am voting for a Romney victory, he ias the only candidate with economic policies that will make both Democrats cry.
He’ll pull off his mask and reveal he and John McCain are actually clones.
