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.

How Cindy McCain was outed for drug addiction(stole drugs from the American Voluntary Medical Team) (McCain used his influence to cover it up.)
3 things that are wild cards are California, Alaska, and West Virginia. I’ve not been able to find any legit polling for Alaska, only stories about how Paul could get 15%. ANWR is a big deal there(McCain opposes drilling) and Romney got Murkowski endorsement. Its not winner take all though.
Most sites list WV as not “winner take all” but IIRC it actually ends up that way. If no candidate gets 50%, they boot low man. Then if no candidate gets 50%, they boot the next low man. Then its a 2 man choice winner take all. Have not seen any polling in WV to know if it could go to McCain vs Romney or not.
California is listed as a “splitting” state but its actually “winner take all” in each district. In an extreme example, McCain could take 35% of the entire vote but get no delegates as long as Romney gets 1% more in each district. Obviously won’t happen that way but if Mccain’s support is concentrated in San Fran and other lib hotbeds, he could get crushed in delegate count even though he’s only 1% behind overall in the state.
If I’m off on any of this, feel free to correct. If you found any polling or other insights on these 3 states, please share-Thanks!
McCain is in for a rude awakening. Romney will come on top after SuperTu.
Thanks for that info. I am hoping that Mitt does much better than what the MSM is projecting...er, predicting for tomorrow. I believe he can.
Ah, but Democrats have been forced to enlarge their definition of bigotry over the years, due to lack of space.
“Is she high? She would have to be really drugged to live with that nasty old coot.”

Someone I know who lived in Arizona, said McCain’s wfie, Cindy, had a dependence problem with prescription drugs. She said it was common knowledge in Arizona.
The Dems will have a field day with that one...you can be sure
Hehehehe! Many thanks for the smile and giggles! :-)
Romney’s record is pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-gay agenda, pro-amnesty, pro-”fee” subterfuge to raise income, pro-government health care, and pro-campaign finance controls.
You tell me how that is different than McCain.
That’s absolutely pure, unadulterated conjecture.
We’re dealing with liberals — all 3 of the remaining Republicans. They are not conservatives.
An honest freeper admits that.
Romney’s record says he’s a flaming liberal.
McCain’s record says he’s a flaming liberal.
Huckabee’s record says he’s a flaming liberal.
Anyone feel like denying this based on the record?
Are you saying that Arizona is as full of liberals as MA? As loathesome as Teddy is, he probably represents the views of his constituents. Does McQueeg? To me, McQueeg seems to arrogantly defy the wishes of his electorate, especially on immigration.
How the party and conservatives feel about him won’t matter....as soon as McQueeg gets nominated the Clinton sleaze machine will start spoon-feeding the dirt on him to the media. He’ll be cooked well before any of us has a chance to vote against him. I expect he’s due for his Howard Dean Moment between the primaries and the general election, anyhow....
What I intended for you to ponder is that each candidate (Juan McAmnesty and Chappaquiddick Teddy) gets the party nod every time their term comes up because they run uncontested and the party machinery won't tolerate anyone challenging that.
Surely you can appreciate that simple reality.
If he's so proud of having opposed the Bush tax cuts, then why isn't he pitching it instead of LYING about never raising taxes?
If he's so proud of his having given all the power to MoveOn.org, why doesn't he pitch it instead of LYING about his intolerance for the First Amendment?
If he's so proud of being the pro-abortionist that he really is, then why does he have to LIE and say he's pro-life?
Bottom line: he knows he doesn't have to give anyone straight talk or be honest about his record because he's got loads of Democrats, liberal independents and other RINOs to suck up the slack on his behalf.
That is what makes the McChurian Candidate so reprehensible. He acts entirely like a Democrat and feels he's entitled to the support of conservatives. That is why that RINO will never have my vote.
McCain is not even polling above 50% in his home state. In 2000, he received 33% of the primary vote and is doing about the same now. And he will be the nominee of the party? Insane.
How so? We know McCain is pro-amnesty because he supported both the 2006 and 2007 amnesty bills. He has recently said that he would sign McCain-Kennedy if were President. Romney has said he is against amnesty.
Don’t call me Surely.
Why address ONLY the liberal record of McCain?
Wouldn’t honesty demand that you address the liberal record of each remaining candidate?
And earlier he said he supported it.
It must be something in the water in Massachusetts.
