Your voter preferences sum up what I think as well.
The Drive-Bys and the pollsters are hoping we don't catch on. All they're trying to do is manipulate Republicans to choose the right sacrificial lamb for Hillary.
It’s hard to believe that FDT is at 13 after campaigning here since the day of the MI primary. I mean even an inarticulate, word slurring guy who can barely complete a simple declarative sentence beat McCain in SC back in 2000? How can a man of such great substance like FDT be at 13%. What has happened in 8 years?
It appears the push polls run by the Huckabee campaign are working effectively.
Very sad and pathetic.
Gee, both of Rush’s most-detested candidates lead in the polls in a conservative state. I didn’t listen to him today, but he must be wondering what’s happened to his influence.
What has happened is that he sold out and has been shilling for Romney for over a month now, in spite of his claim to want to remain “neutral.” Neutral, my eye. I don’t listen every day, but I’d bet that he hasn’t had a single good thing to say about either McCain or Huckabee in that month, and sees no wrong in Romney.
As it becomes more and more obvious that a large share of his regular listeners are incensed over his treatment of Huckabee, not to mention his out and out lying about his supposed neutrality, Rush has grown increasingly strident. Too bad he couldn’t have been more objective from the beginning instead of buying into Romney so easily.
It’s almost like Romney has bought him off or something, given Rush’s reluctance to consider anything negative about Romney’s record (such as the impending disaster he left behind, RomneyCare, or the fact that he’d never get re-elected in the state he supposedly led successfully for four years.)
If anyone listened today, what did Rush have to say about the article “Limbaugh Gets Behind Romney” in the Boston Globe? Michael Levenson really nailed it; Rush picked his horse in this race a while ago.
What treatment is that?
The same treatment given to any other socially liberal democrat?
Hauckabee just happens to be running on the R ticket because the dems have no use for white evangelicals.
Otherwise he looks pretty much the same as hillary.
The new Fox poll has McCain easily ahead of the Huckster and Plastic Hair 4 points ahead of Fred. Polls are no more than self-fulfilling prophecy, and when you live by them you shouldn’t be surprised when you metaphorically die by them. It would appear that some are beginning to figure out that the number of conservatives in the GOP is not near as large as they believed.
Roughly one to two percent, best I can tell. LOL
LOL! yep.
How about Hunter Thompson-Freak Power?
The last time America elected a President who couldn't get re-elected as governor, we got stuck with Jimmy Carter. I know two Republicans from Massachusetts both of whom are moderately conservative. Both detest Mitt Romney.
Tom Delay just ripped McCain a new one on Neal Cavuto’s show. Laid out all the reasons his candidacy should be rejected. Neal couldn’t believe it!
This state has an open primary also, so the democrats can come over to vote for McCain, surely why he is up in the polls.
Based on the results of the poll, I would guess Newt is tied with someone.
Insider Advantage 1/17-1/17:
McCain, Huckabee-----26
Romney, Thompson-----13
Paul, Giuliani-------5
No, they aren’t. All these end of the world posts that Republicans have abandoned you are ridiculous. the party is struggling now, but average voters are conservative. Not wildly so, but they are. And, they think McCain and Huck are as well. They don’t know otherwise.
Let’s see that tapeworm try that sh*t in Texas.
Come to the Fred side, we have bourbon. And hot wings.
No can do uhmeeego. Hunter is head and antlers above them all. But thanks. If Fred tanks, you can come have some Washington salmon and IPA and join team Hunter
I didn’t know that about SC, thanks.
