		<description>My opinion, the MSM doesn&#039;t like Romney because he has the best chance of beating whoever the Dem candidate is.</description>

		<description>Could someone explain Hillary&#039;s delegate count? The witch came in third in Iowa and narrowly won N.H.
Are they giving her Mich. delegates since she is the only one on the ballot? 
I thought that none of Mich. delegates were being awarded after they moved up the primary date. 

I&#039;m confused.</description>

		<description>Oops! I forgot to say that the reason I am so concerned about Obama&#039;s loss in New Hampshire is I firmly believe HRC will be the next president, given the GOP&#039;s currently uninspiring list of contenders, if Obama continues to slack-off and allow himself to be bested by the lesser candidate - Hillary - in the next few primaries. 

Had he better spent his time this past weekend answering back Bubba&#039;s slams and Hillary&#039;s crocodile tears, he may very well have won New Hampshire instead of now having to play catch-up to the Clintons!</description>

		<description>I am devastated this morning with HRC&#039;s victory, and I fear it portends of more victories to come; with this win, she is now certain to get the funds and free press she desperately needed to keep her sorry excuse for a campaign afloat into February. I had pitted hope against hope that Obama would handily defeat her in New Hampshire, and forever end any chances she had of securing the nomination, but I guess the Ice Queen&#039;s tears were just too much of an obstacle for the less-than-clear-thinking voters in that state to overcome. 

Still, I wonder if today, in the light of a meaningless victory achieved from using tears to beg for votes from the either chivalrous or preponderately  naive New Hampshire primary voters, Hillary still feels it was worth the price of her dignity and self-respect?</description>

		<description>it is obvious that the media wants the huckster or mccain, because they know what will happen.  first, i don&#039;t think either could win the national election, however, if by a small chance that did happen the core values of the republican party would be ignored &#039;for bipartisanship sake&#039; and once again concessions would be made by republicans only.  

this is John McCains results from bipartisanship.  dems do not make concessions, they get all that they want, and the republicans make all the concessions so the legislation is liberal.  i believe this is the type of &#039;republican&#039; that the huckster is, too.  they are democatic operatives in the republican party sabotaging republican values on the legislation.

if we get liberal judges packed onto the supreme court we are going to have great tribulation in this country.  do you really believe that john mccain is going to pick a Scalia or Thomas?  We will be lucky if we get a Sandra O&#039; from him.  and, the huckster? what type of judge would he pick?  

the media has marketed to the voters the huckster and mccain.  mccain has always been the media darling for obvious reasons.  it really scares me that they seem to have found one they love more (huck the schmuck).

i looked at the polls for SC, very scary.  Thompson says he has to win in SC.  I think it is time for him to look for a VP slot and make an alliance with Romney to give him the extra delegates and the power to win in the winner takes all states.</description>

		<description>McCain against the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and 2003.
 
McCain for McCain-Feingold and limiting free speech.
 
McCain for human embryo stem cell research.
 
McCain thinks pharmaceutical companies are bad guys - voted for Sarbanes-Oxley that is hurting small business.
 
McCain is against repealing the death tax.
 
McCain supports forced government regulation of greenhouse gas emissions.
 
McCain voted against drilling in Anwar.
 
McCain would raise social security taxes.
 
McCain would allow invaders [illegal immigrants] to stay indefinitely after [haha] paying a fine, BUT don&#039;t you dare call it amnesty!
 
McCain would rather thousands [millions with a nuke] of Americans die than pour water up a terrorists nose for thirty seconds - something all SEALS go through as part of their training.
 
McCain thinks being chummy and cooperating with Ted Kennedy is cool.

Do not beleive for a minute that he can be a conservative or controlled - he is in it for him, and doesn&#039;t need nor want your input - he knows best.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s my thoughts on Mitt Romney at the moment.

I still think the prospects for his future are good.  Does anyone realize that Mitt won in Wyoming over the weekend?  

McCain won&#039;t do well in the south, Huckabee won&#039;t do well in the north and west.  As long as Romney wins 1st or 2nd across the country as he&#039;s done, the delegates will fall his way.  It will all come down to two things.

1.  Winner-take-all states - Some states have rules which pledge all delegates to the top vote-getter in that state&#039;s primary.  So far that hasn&#039;t been an issue for Mitt and that&#039;s why he&#039;s (according to CNN) leading the delegate count.  He does have to win a few of the winner-take all states to have a shot.  Mitt will have an uphill battle in some states like New York, which recently changed itself to winner-take-all to give Guilliani a push.

2.  Super Tuesday - If Romney starts taking bronze in more than a few contests on February 5th, then it&#039;s over.  He has to finish at least 2nd in states that assign delegates proportionately in order for the numbers to fall his way.

It&#039;s very possible that come the RNC, no candidate will have a majority of delegates.  That&#039;s when things would get very interesting and Romney might just be the compromise candidate in between McCain and Huckabee.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Losing the WH is the best thing that can happen to the GOP if they go with McCain or Huckster. They’ll then be the opposition party to the left and will fight their socialist programs at every turn, instead of this notion of playing along with them for the sake of retaining power, that we’ve seen in the White House for the past 7 years.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;
Emphatically&lt;/em&gt; agree with you. 

The corollary to that is that continuing to reward those who trash our core beliefs is a recipe for long term disaster.

The only arguments for McVain or Huckster are arguments of power over principle.  

No thanks.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;We are better able to influence a Republican in office rather than a Democrat. Right?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Wrong. John McCain&#039;s been in the Senate many years and is hostile to his own party&#039;s conservative base on amnesty, global warming, taxes.

Insanity can be defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I&#039;d suspect any conservative voting for a liberal Republican like McCain or Huckabee might also fit this description, given what we already know about their records.

		<description>This is not good news with the Huckster and “she who must not be named” in the lead with delegates.  When I went to bed last night I though Romney had the most I wish I could go back to sleep.  Now I will have nightmares if the two front runners continue to lead the pack.  The only upside is we still have a very long way to go and I would really like to see a real convention for each party this time around instead of the MSM anointed ones always waltzing in as the preapproved candidate.</description>

		<description>The unhinged vote? If only 10% of Republicans are enthusiastic about President Bush...and 60% of Dems and 15% of Republicans are very angry at President Bush...

Wouldn&#039;t it be fair to call the extreme minority the ones that are unhinged?</description>
