Aw, poor boy!
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!
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.
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.
Meanwhile, Romney won Nevada and Wyoming, and now has more delegates than either McInsane or the Huckleberry.
“It wasn’t his faith,” he said. “It was his phonyism.”
There it is.
Aw, poor boy!
Same thing is going to happen in Florida. Those Massachusetts Liberals don’t do too well below the Mason Dixon Line.
“Romney’s Mormon faith also hurt him among evangelical voters...”
That was the main thing. He’s more conservative than McCain and Huckabee, so it can’t be his “conservative credentials.”
Same thing is going to happen in Florida. Those Massachusetts Liberals don’t do too well below the Mason Dixon Line.
HAH! but they ate up McCain and Huckabee!..Speaks REAL highly of them! /s
In case you haven’t heard already (since it has been so sparcely reported)
Since 1980 every republican nominee has won SC.
Oh yeah, did I mention that since 1980 every republican nominee has won SC.
And what is really important to know is that since 1980 every republican nominee has won SC.
There, now the hit-piece disguised as a news article has all of the McCain talking points. It already was able to get the “flopped” and “fled” terms in.
Hey barryg. Next time save us the trouble and just post the link to JohnMcCain.com . Cut out the middleman.
It is tailor made for fellow Southerner Huckabee, with the largest evangelical population of any State.
It is tailor made for pure conservative Thompson, from neighboring Tennessee, as it is among the most conservative of States.
If it is tailor made for his rivals three, for Romney it cannot be.
Actually I think there is something to that statement---and as to why so many pollsters are all wrong so often.
The US is changing right under the feet of the MSM, with all of their models and thoughts and theories.
I personally think South Carolina will become more and more marginalized as to 'importance' as time goes on. Problem is, it will take 4 Presidential elections (20 years) for the MSM to catch on.
South Carolina does not represent the broad electorate of today nearly as much as it might have previously.
Just call it a hunch.
I watched Mitt today... He got the “it” factor... he has the quality and presence.
Gee barryg, it must be South Carolina is into ugly candidates. Not me, I am voting for the smartest good looking person in the race.
Hillary out, Obama out, Hucklebee out, Fred out, McCain out, John Edwards out, Ron Paul out, Rudy, Judy, out, Fred out.
Go Mitt Romney! Mitt 2008, we may be down, but we ain’t going to take ugly and wrinkled!
And yet he did nearly as good as southerner Fred Thompson. Don’t know if thast bodes well for Fred.
Yes, Palmetto State voters voted for a guy who seriously considered being John Kerry’s running mate in 2004, who authored McCain-Feingold that has enabled the Democrats to out spend the GOP this election cycle, who was head honcho for the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill, and who was a leader in the Gang of 14 that kept conservatives from getting more judicial appointments approved by the Senate.
Palmetto State voters are pathetically misled creatures that don’t seem to be able to grasp what the consequences of their votes will mean to this country. To bad we can’t vote them off the island.
(sarcasm on) Well I had a nice robo call from a Huckster who explained that Romney wants to cut taxes by selling babies to eeeeeevil capitalists and throw christians to the lions. In fact Romney was a personal friend of Julius Ceasar...(sarcasm off)
