Its a great day to vote for Mitt Romney almost everywhere.
Huckabee is strongest in Arkansas, Alabama and Oklahoma by my estimation and I guess he should win there with our votes, but not because we like him. McCain will be denied those states for media orgasms tonight.
Otherwise go Romney everywhere and anywhere today, especially in California.
If Mitt can win there it will send a message that will matter in spite of any media spin tonight.
Sadly the MSM will be Obamaizing, McCaniacking and in some cases Hillarizing the results.
Mitt can do it today if everyone gets in the game for him.
He's close in Missouri, Tennesssee and Georgia, too.
But get ready for a McCain sweep in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Delaware. McCain is leading in Arizona, but he's not much above 40 percent.
Romney is up in Utah, Colorado and Massachusetts, plus tied or leading in California.
I hope Mitt can pull it off in Montana, maybe Alaska.
Thumbs up for Mitt today.
Meanwhile, yesterday the "Wall Street Journal" published a fascinating article on the group supporting Huckabee from its Colorado Springs headquarters.
This Common Sense organization that started the "Trust Huckabee" group and website is headed by some political hack named Patrick Davis.
The story says that Davis has pictures of President Bush and Vice-President Cheney in his office. Davis also reportedly had his first political job on the campaign of George H.W. Bush.
This "Trust Huckabee" group has done dirty work to promote Huckabee and trash his opposition like Mitt Romney and McCain.
I wonder what the real story is about this group and its motivations. Who really wants to help Huckabee's campaign in this stealthy way?
My operating theory is that the GOP leadership (President and Vice-President) wants a McCain succession ironically for a continuity in foreign policy.
Guys like Mel Martinez and Tom Ridge who are real "friends" of the President are fully behind McCain.
McCain, just like Bob Dole in 1996, is the next in line.
Here, too. Also, Alan Keyes.
Yes it is....please go vote today. It’ll take all of us to derail the Straight Talk Express BS machine.
It doesn’t matter where Huckabee tells his supporters to go, they break for McCain in exit polling minimum of 44 M -33% R as of Florida. Huckabee is Romney’s best friend in this, much to the chagrine of Romney’s followers.
Will Mitt be on the ballot twice??
Once as pro-choice, once as pro-life?
Once as pro-gay advocate, once as traditional marriage only?
Once as big taxer, once as low taxer?
Once as government mandates, once as less government?
Once as liberal, once as conservative?
Once as anti-second amendment, once as lifetime hunter?
Can we vote for any combination of Mitts we prefer?
Are you encouraging us to vote for the “before” or “after” Mitt???
Please clarify, time is short before the polls close.
GO MITT!
After some of the local goings on today in Tennessee, I suspect Huckabee is not losing here either. For example, the Conservative talk show hosts saying that since Romney has no chance to win Tennessee as he’s polling third in most polls taken here, and the objective is to stop McCain, they are rallying people to go vote for Huckabee.
I also think there is a sort of “Bradley Effect” going on with Romney. A lot more seem to support him with pollsters than actually turn out to vote for him, especially in the South.
They’re as noisey as the small percentage of gay activists.
I wonder what their agenda could be at this point. Could they be sensing that McCain's supposed lead is not as rock-solid as it is made out to be? Most of them don't name an alternative candidate to vote for, they just bash Romney. Not voting for Romney is voting for McCain...
During the Iowa Caucus runup, my mom got a call (she lives in IA) asking if they could count on her vote for Tom Tancredo. She said, “sure, if you would please tell me who Tom Tancredo is...”
Good point. Lots of new members shilling for McCain on here last weeks or so. Probably college kids who don’t even remember Reagan lol.
Romney has momentum and I believe rank and file working Joe Republicans are going to beat McCain’s Party liberals today in a couple of states.
Well I did it. I went and voted for Romney.
You are a good man, Charlie Brown...if we can get more people who will help stop McCain, it will all be worth it.
Oh yeah? Well guess what? We’re still here! Now what are you going to do about it? I’m not going away, and I suspect a good many Romney (or how did you put it, Miff?)are staying put! Good night, pleasant dreams! ;O
Romney has a good chance to win in AK.
CA will be the big prize. Early votes are absentees (military votes?) giving McCain an early lead. Be hilarious to see Romney tie McCain in number of states carried.
