Medved is a McCaniac. Ignore him.
If they even thought there was a point in checking Thompson, and he did the same numbers as Romney, I would be shocked if any of his supporters gave up on him, because they understand that things are a lot different once you have your two candidates.
The only candidate that does particularly well is McCain, and that’s probably because there are a lot of independents that like his stances against the GOP on a lot of issues.
We’ve always known we could win the center with a centrist candidate, but can we save the right? The poll suggests we can, the comments here say we can’t. If we can, we pick a centrist and take the white house. If we can’t, we pick the most conservative candidate we can find that doesn’t completely turn off the independents, and take our chances.
The Romney supporters have decided the 2nd option is best, as I thought the Thompson supporters have.
The 3rd option is to vote for the best conservative no matter what, and not worry about who is in the white house. Some here say that’s the Duncan Hunter supporter approach.
