Give it up man. Thompson is done. South Carolina was his Waterloo and he failed to capitalize.
Lookit, I’m a Romney fan but despite he’s leading the delegate count by a wide margin and has won three of the first six states; I don’t think he’s going to make it. It looks as if the momentum is with McCain. The MSM and certain “Republican talking heads” has decided to trivialize Romney and boost McCain and that is precisely what’s happening. It’s McCain’s to lose.
If Rudy can win Florida, it’s not over.
I’m concerned about that as well. I expect to vote for Romney on Super Tuesday, but I agree with your concerns. Romney should be treated as a front runner, but instead they said he was almost dead in MI when in fact he leads in delegates. This is a HUGE win for McCain. Had Romney pulled a solid second place, or at least distanced himself from Fred and the other also rans, he could get some more cred, but as it is, they discount Romney’s wins and McCain gets the underdog status to carry him. That said, McCain’s earning it.
Don't buy into the Media hype. McCain won South Carolina tonight with a whopping 33% of the vote - That means that 67% voted against him.
Of course 84% voted against my candidate, whom I will write in if he isn't on the ballot as well. Which really translates into I am no longer supporting the Republican party, at least for this election for President. But you shouldn't give up so easily if you are "for" Romney based upon principle.
I have pretty much made up my mind for Mitt. It was either him or Fred for me.
And I think you’re wrong about McLame being inevitable. Someone of Fox tonight pointed out McLame has ONLY won when non-Republicans were able to vote in Republican primaries...this is just like in 2000. When REPUBLICANS ONLY vote, McLame is not able to carry a majority.
The man who can get Republican votes is the one who will win the Republican nomination. Right now, that is Mitt—he has the deep pockets and the Republican support that the Huckster and McQueeg do not have. :)
