Next stop is Florida. I don’t think Romney will win here, but it will be interesting if he can force Rudy into third place, and thus out of the GOP race.
What? A slick liberal/moderate/conservative from Utah/Michigan/Massachusetts couldn’t get traction in South Carolina? I’m shocked!
He didn’t eat a fried squirrel!!!!!!
how can you be a republican nominee without having the south? without the south, the republican base, there is nothing in the general election...romney can’t expect to win michigan again.
As a “lifelong hunter” Mitt should have shot, skinned, and cooked his own varmints. When politicians are pandering I like to see them actually do things, not just run their mouths.
well....it worked for mccain and huck
MSM bashing Mitt Romney, the only remaining credible candidate to go up against John McCain. How UNsurprising.
The same MSM basically told us Michigan was make-or-break for Romney, and so Romney was required to focus laser-like on Michigan ... and when he won, did they declare McCain “done”?
Of course not. John McCain lost IA, Lost MI, lost WY, lost Nevada ... and barely squeaked by in NH and SC and he is still the ‘frontrunner’. Anything for Proamnesty-antiBushtaxcuts-proCO2caps-CFR-RINO John McCain.
And Romney was running only a few points behind the leader earlier in the week, but the ‘signal’ the MSM sent that Romney ‘gave up’ more or less sent the voters to McCain / Huck.
So this is all an MSM self-fulfilling prophecy.
If the nominee is Mitt he’s probably toast in the general. He might pick a southern running mate to shore up the old Confederacy, but that would just demonstrate how weak he is by defending territory that should already be safe.
Meanwhile, Romney won Nevada and Wyoming, and now has more delegates than either McInsane or the Huckleberry.
“As a lifelong hunter Mitt should have shot, skinned, and cooked his own varmints.”
Maybe Mitt can offer to shoot a squirrel for Huck to cook up. LOL.
They’re better at faking sincerity than Mitt.
Now that Fred Thompson is out of the race (or will be soon), the die-hards will be circling the wagons around Romney. I really want to LIKE Romney, but something doesn’t click there.
It wasnt his faith, he said. It was his phonyism.
There it is.
Aw, poor boy!
Anti-gun Republican wont sell to any but NE liberal puke states.
Ditto. It is sad to see fellow Freepers being duped by them.
“Romney and Rooty are sure losers in the general election. 2nd Amendment voters wont vote for them.”
That leaves McCain and Huckabee.
What do people think of a McCain/Huckabee ticket? Is it a winner?
Agreed. Either Dem candidate would destroy him. Not only that, the job that the MSM would do on this guy would be one for the history books.
