Romney has some of the highest negatives of any Republican candidate.
God help us if Romney wins.
*****************
God will be helping us if Mitt Romney wins!
Hehehehe. Thats a good one.
I just read in a detroit newspaper free press....that in 2000 it was ONLY A REPUBLICAN primary that the dems and independents voted for mccain. If that case I would think there shouldn’t be as much cross over vote in michigan tomorrow.
The local Detroit TV news showed Lieberman making the rounds at the auto show tonight. He stopped for a while and talked to Huckabee at the show.
You were the guy who yesterday was spewing a bunch of distortions about Romney. Now today you are ‘worried’ if he wins?!?
take a chill pill. You are afraid of a goblin concocted in your head, not the real Romney.
This is the real Romney - a guy who can help us navigate the uncertain economic times that lay ahead:

“Romney is a flip-flopper and unreliable.”
Only on one issue.
“McCain is a determined enemy of free speech for Americans and a determined advocate for the rights of terrorists and illegal aliens.”
Proamnesty-antiBushtaxcuts-proCO2caps-CFR-RINO John McCain delenda est!
“that in 2000 it was ONLY A REPUBLICAN primary that the dems and independents voted for mccain. “
Wasnt there a Bradley v Gore fight on the Dem side in 2000? Did Gore wrap it up by then?
He seems too slick and phony. IMO he seems as genuine as Bill Clinton speaking at an abstinence conference.
(But I would vote for him over Hillary.)
I don’t know, I read it in the detroit press today.

there is the link,last paragraph.
SO are you voting for Mitt Romney tomorrow? (he asks hopefully)
Actually, in Michigan, with no Dem contest and McCain urging Dems to vote in the Republican primary, it does not appear that this particular "voting booth" poll will count either, unless Romney were still able to somehow win it.
Lovely wording there. No, I live in Florida, but I will be voting for him. I was cruising the Michigan papers trying to get a feel for the locals. Mitt apparently leads here in NE Florida by four. I was going to help with phone calls but I can’t with my work schedule.
This article may give you more insight into who Romney really is as a person:
http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200509/pappu
“I asked Romney why he would spend political capital crusading for the death penalty when his plan would cost so much to put in place and in any event will most likely never be voted into law. “The first answer is—and I think it’s really hard for people to believe and understand this—because I said I would during the campaign. More than once during gubernatorial debates I was asked, ‘Do you support the death penalty?’ Yes. And then people said, ‘But how are you going to keep from executing the innocent?’ And I said by having a higher standard of care—something beyond ‘reasonable doubt.’ It should be clear and convincing evidence. Scientific evidence.” “
“When I told Romney what Adams had said, the governor told me he appreciated the free pass he had been given, but that he would respectfully decline to take it—because he has managed to pass some measures and doesn’t consider any of the outstanding ones to have failed irredeemably yet. He handed me a document that listed ninety-seven promises he had made during his 2002 campaign, each one falling into one of three categories: “done,” “ongoing,” or “not yet.” An asterisk indicated those promises on which he had tried to act but had been rebuffed by the legislature. There is something distinctly Romneyesque about the document: the businessman’s ledgerlike mentality; the deep concern that he be seen as a man of his word, a man who will try his hardest to deliver on whatever he promises; and the sheer earnestness. It’s the same earnestness that’s reflected in his ability to toggle from Bain analytic mode to golly-gee mode in seconds flat. I once heard him, in the kitchen of a home in a fifty-five-and-over community near Cape Cod, go from rattling off numbers concerning COBRA payments and health-insurance premiums to saying eagerly, “Well, let’s have some of this banana bread!” Romney’s sincerity, oddly enough, can sometimes make him seem artificial—but it’s a sincerity that others can only hope to fake.”
“Mitt apparently leads here in NE Florida by four. “
WOW, that is interesting and good news.
What’s irrational about it? It’s possible your answer on a poll would have a bigger impact than your vote itself (most likely by motivating donors).
That's right!
RINOs are a lose-lose proposition. Either way the political 'center of gravity' shifts to the left.
And I've seen too many lousy McCain speeches and poor McCain debate performances to think he is any more electable than Dole was.
I also know that a number of influential Republicans there are supporting McCain, and some have since early 2007.
Yup. And the worst head-to-head polling numbers of any GOP candidate. It boggles the mind that anyone here thinks he is electable.
