If Fred can take out the Huckster in GA, that’s 137 winner take all delegates. Certainly doable.

Thompson did a great job with Huckabee. I was disappointed that none of the candidates challenged McCain and his many scandals - almost as if they were afraid McCain would go berserk.

Well Huge I do agree on most of what you said but in my Focus Group of Me, Myself and I, we overwhelmingly think FRED THOMPSON is Da Man.

John McCain will likely win Arizona, which is another winner-take-all state, giving him 53 delegates on Super Tuesday.

I will be voting against him.

For everyone who thinks poor Hugh has gone overboard in his Mitt boosterism...

Hugh Hewitt Creates 'Romneytown' Deep in Guyana jungle

In a detailed announcement Thursday night, talk radio personality Hugh Hewitt announced the formation of a new community centered around Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Located in the South American nation of Guyana, Romneytown will reclaim approximately 3,800 acres (15.4 km²) of jungle purchased from the nation's government...

"There can be no objective argument against moving to Romneytown," Hewitt said. "Anyone who denies it is not to be trusted as an analyst."...

I noticed McCain was starting to sound like an environmentalist. He was talking about how the Teddy Roosevelt Republican party had once been the leader in environmentalism. That is true. We should remember that the draconian Endangered Species Act that has destroyed the rural economy of the west came from Nixon. Sounds like more of the same would be in store from McCain.

Mike Huckabee should win the winner-take-all state of Georgia, to earn him 72 points on Super Tuesday.

Anyone seen polling to support this?

ARRGGGHHH!!! I wish voters would put a stake in this guy's campaign. The man is a loose cannon. I am completely mystified that McCain has any appeal. I was sure he would be a non-factor by now.

Seems the other candidates don’t want to rag on McCain because of his POW history.

Screw that! He might have been a Conservative before the Hanoi Hilton but, he sure isn’t one now.

>>Even the McCain enthusiasts watch this aging warrior and know that he could no more win in the fall than Dole could in '96. Politics is not exclusively a young man's game, but it is most definitely not an old man's game either. <<

This is completely wrong. McCain worked nonstop from 5am to 11pm everyday up here in NH and never once appeared tired. Reagan was an old man as well and I think I heard his named mentioned about 30 times last night. If you look at the realclearpolitics.com polls of potential matchups, McCain beats Clinton and Obama rather easily.

The far right wing does not deserve to have the final say in choosing a candidate...you are responsible for the loss of congress in '06 due to you unquestioned support of Rumsfeld and Bush's failed war planning (along with 25,000 needless casualties in Iraq until the surge was forced on them by moderate republicans). If the far right wins and puts up Thompson, then get used to President Hillary. Now is the time to build a center-right coalition in order to win. Yes you have to stray slightly from your core beliefs but do you think a Democrat president and congress would be better?

You can't have it all my friends on the far right, and you will wind up with nothing if you continue with the "my way or the highway" approach to this election.

The Luntz focus groups on Sunday and Thursday night which went overwhelmingly to Romney and Thompson respectively tell us what Republican voters prize most of all: Fight in their candidates. This may be because of what we know lies ahead in the fall, when not just an energized Dem nominee assaults them day after day, but when Soros et al unleash their tens of millions and the leftie nutroots scream BushCo and Halliburton at the top of their virtual lungs 24/7. The GOP knows it will need a fighter full of energy and optimism who will both argue the case for Reagan conservatism and do so with the graciousness and charm that will be a sharp contrast with the angry left.

BAM!

Anybody but McCain.

McCain with his “get along with the Democrats at all costs” record would be an utter disaster for Conservatives.

A twist in the wind political opportunist with basically the same political outlook as Hillary Clinton, McCain would compromise on any issue simply to avoid taking any action that would jeopardize his approval rating. He would be the GOP’s Bill Clinton. Worse, by wrongly labeling McCain a “Conservative” the GOP would get all the blame for the disastrous political decisions of McCain all the while McCain would be actively advancing the Democrats political agenda.

Even on Judges we could count on McCain to appoint Leftists. He would do anything to avoid angering the Democrat Senator give his mistaken notions of Bi Partisanship.

Better Hillary or Obama or Edwards then a McCain Administration that would shatter the GOP base and make the same disastrous political decisions as a Leftist regime.

Are you under the mistaken notion that your postings are clever or humorous?

Let us disabuse you of those erroneous notions. Your postings are juvenile and moronic. Rather then pouring derision on your political foes, your posting merely make you look like a childish ass clown.

Cannot decide which is more amusing, the rabid stupidity expressed in your postings, or your childish arrogance in thinking anyone here care a whit what an idiot like you has to say.

To: sensible centrist from NH
Here is where you Leftist pretending to be Centrists are in error. Winning at any cost is not really winning. This is not some sort of sporting event where you can be mindlessly loyal to “your team”

A member of “your team” like McCain who does nothing but advance the Democrat agenda while doing zero to address the issues of concern to us is NOT on “our side” no matter what party label he has after his name.

Better a Democrat Leftist then a GOP Leftist like McCain. At least with a Democrat Leftist their party gets the blame for the disastrous Leftist policy decisions and the GOP Congress members unites to fight them. With McCain we get the worse of both worlds. All the political damage at the same time “our” Administration advances none of our political agenda.

Not quite so much fun when you have your sort of poison pen, juvenile postings directed back at you, now is it?

Remember that next time you are tempted to post in your usual teen age clown style.
