John McCain pumped by Super Tuesday poll numbers

As top Republican presidential contenders John McCain and Mitt Romney head into tomorrow's mega-primary in New York and 20 other states, a question hangs over the GOP contest: Is it all over but for the voting?

Two major national opinion polls released yesterday found McCain now has twice as much support among GOP voters as Romney, with Mike Huckabee coming in third and Ron Paul trailing behind.

Several other recent local polls find McCain leads in most of the states that will hold contests tomorrow except two - Massachusetts and Utah, which represent Romney's home state and base. McCain also takes a slight lead in delegates - 93 to Romney's 77 - into tomorrow's Super Primary, but he appears assured a majority of the 1,081 up for grabs at day's end, most analysts said.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Wednesday morning, the liberal MSM and the country-club GOP establishment, who have been pimping for McCain, will be in for a shock after Romney wins CA, GA and MO.

It would be funny to see how they would try and spin it...falling all over themselves in the process.

Can you believe this Chit???

Sure. While Romney is an unknown quantity on immigration, Queeg is definitely open-borders; and also has the favor of POTUS.

I'm not justifying it, but from the RNC point of view, I can believe it.

From what I can tell it’s all about the illegals.

What we the people vehemently want doesn’t seem to matter to those in power - of either party.

I got a poll call from the McCain org and ansered what was most important to me that McCain NOT be elected!

Later that night I got a robocall from McInsane himself. Dunno what he said, I was too busy screaming obscenities at the phone.

Oh, yea and in CA they are saying JM is up, well todays poll has MR up by 7%.

The two are nearly tied in delegate count going into tomorrow.

It is not over yet.

A guy from the RNC on Hannity today said that if after tomorrow’s vote that it appears that Mitt Rommney has as many or more delegates than McCain that they will have an emergency meeting and persuade Mitt to drop out. Can you believe this Chit???

Appalled but not surprised. Remember, McCain is the establishment choice, so that they can keep the gravy train going. All those "endorsements" McCain has gotten? Nothing more than hat-in-hand Washington a$$holes hoping for work in the McCain administration. They hate Romney because he's an outside-the-beltway type.

It’s been over for a while now.

Mitt McClintobama has the nomination of the party.

From Rush today:

RUSH: ...I think the one candidate of the three still out there on our side matter (and actually it's just two, because Huckabee doesn't, in terms of a chance to win) in saying who more closely embodies all three legs of this conservative stool, you'd have to say that it's Mitt Romney. There's actually no choice in the matter. It certainly isn't Senator McCain.

Has anyone here seen McCain in person? From about 2 feet away? I have and he is ancient. Especially when he is standing next to his wife.

I'm shocked to see this happening. McCain has no business running this country. He's stale as week old bread.

Why and how could they do that?

I can’t believe McCain is polling as highly in Arizona. Our state has only now started evicting the illegal invaders (no thanks to Juan McCain) and the rest of the nation is taking note. Irrespective of his being an Arizona senator, how the heck can a pro-Amnesty dimwit like McCain get any traction here.

I would just love it if Mitt wins more delegates. In chosing a VP, I hope that Mitt picks Fred, no way should he pick either of the two who are doing a tag-team, they both need a slap-down.

“No way, will I vote for a McVain/Huck ticket... Never ever!”

I agree, I think the tag-team thing they got going is repulsive, the way I look at it, they are trying to deny the rightful winner, and that is way too offensive.

I may end up holding my nose and voting for him in November, but right now I’d rather he get pumped by the neighbor’s dog than his poll numbers.

I’ve decided that if Lunatic McCain is the candidate in November, I will NOT show up to vote. That said, I don’t buy the conventional wisdom that McCain would lose to Obama.

A lot of those polls don’t show the big MO for Romney after last week. The others are weekend polls.
