Here we go...
The Democrat nominee needs 2,025 to win.
The Republican nominee needs 1,191 to win.
Its clearly obvious that the politically informed conservatives are rallying around Mitt but will it be enough? A week ago I talked to a few folks here in NY whom are registered republicans and they don’t even know who Mitt Romney is!! If he only had a few more weeks to boost his national credibility. His lack of notoriety along with undercurrent of anti-mormonism is really hurting him in this primary cycle. He looks great in the debates against that crusty old curmugdeon, but nobody is watching them.

It was tough to pass over Thompson's name, tho'
I’m praying too, but not just for the elections, but also for the sad state of this nation.
Romans 1:28-32 sounds very familiar: “Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”
The solution for ourselves and our nation can be found in only one place. 2 Chronicles 6:37-39 “and if they have a change of heart in the land where they are held captive, and repent and plead with you in the land of their captivity and say, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong and acted wickedly’; and if they turn back to you with all their heart and soul in the land of their captivity where they were taken, and pray toward the land you gave their fathers, toward the city you have chosen and toward the temple I have built for your Name; then from heaven, your dwelling place, hear their prayer and their pleas, and uphold their cause. And forgive your people, who have sinned against you.”
Even if everything we fear comes true today and in November, we each need to remember the words found in Psalm 73:25-26 “Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever”
Our troubles and concerns here on Earth are so temporal and we need to keep things in perspective if we are to survive spiritually.

Per FOX:
No Winner on first ballot at the WEST VIRGINIA Convention.
Romney number 1, Huckabee 2nd...
Spell check did not help me this time.
I'm sure Mitt has a high end number of candidates he can be behind McCain after Tuesday, probably around 250 delegates. With about 1,000 candidates to win, 26 states and territories from here until Nebraska 33 delegates in 12 July, he will stay in the race. McCain will have shot his W_d, to be somewhat blunt after NY, Conn and NJ states.
The point is there is enough time to stop McCain.
If Queeg is listening to Rush Limbaugh today, we might well see that meltdown in the next 24 hours.
Especially if Slick Willard DOES surge in Kollyfornia.
This is my nightmare... Obama takes the nomination. The guy is unstoppable, IMO, in this current political climate. Hillary, OTOH, will get smacked down by even McCain.
Talk to me. Tell me how Obama could lose?
I’ve gotten the memo on McCain.... Not looking for that argument... Just looking for comment on how Obama gets taken out.
The McCain camp lies about the conservative standard bearer Rush Limbaugh. McCain might as well be a Clinton.

Good for Romney. They drop the last Candidate in the W. Virginia runoff - Did McCain come in last? And first candidate to 50% wins.

McCain finished 3rd with 16%. Ron Paul 4th with 10%.
McCain will not win WV. He can’t win any caucus state.
