The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney earning 33% of the vote while Arizona Senator John McCain attracts 27%

[VastRWCon]

What’s wrong with 27% of Florida?

[Theodore R.]

It shows then that liberals are now a majority of the GOP, just like Nelson Rockefeller thought 44 years ago.

Wow amazing. I was watching Fox News last night the Geraldo Rivera show. He had panelists on and they were all speaking as
if its a forgone conclusion McCain will get the nomination and will
the “hard right” come to support him in November.

[gusopol3]

the more it looks like young Barack will win Deomcrat nomination, the less attractive old John will be.

[DaveMSmith]

C’Mon Mitt, you need the FL win!

[JaneNC]

I think Romney will take Florida.
There is hope now.

[ontap]

On the lighter side, Ron Paul (2%)! It looks like he’s going to break out anytime now.

I’ve been away all week and had not had a chance to see much TV or check in o FreeRepublic. Yesterday I saw Geraldo on FOX talking to people as if there had been a giant shift in the polls and McCain now had some kind of insurmountable lead. What the heck were they smoking? Brett Baier said a couple of times, later, that Romney still had a chance and Geraldo pretty much just dismissed him.

I am wondering if late surges matter as much in Florida as they do in other states? By some estimates over 40% of voters have already voted, so it will be very interesting to see who the winner is. In most states you can, and should look at trends, and in this case Romneys trend is going up. But if voters have already voted, it is to late to change their minds, so the "surge" may be of little or no value.

It will also be interesting to see how effective Rudy was in getting those early voters to the polls before his numbers sank. I think I will ignore all "exit polls" on Tuesday, and just sit back an watch the old fashioned way of seeing how the totals add up.

[ontap]

Well! We here on FR sure put a lot of creedence in what Mr. Republican Geraldo thinks.

[Keith]

last estimates I saw was that the early voting percentage was closer to 20%, but you are right that it may make exit polling a lot less reliable.

But speaking of polling, who saw Obama by 28%?

[Fast Ed97]

Yes I noticed that myself. I was disappointed that Novak and Elder were all playing along as well. I don’t care for Fox that much anymore. I enjoy Brit Hume and thats about it

Cameron is unabashedly pro McCain. He had Greg Jared flabbergasted that Romney “accused McCain of being untruthful”. I have watched cameron for the last time.

GOOD NEWS INTERNALLY........ MITT HAS THE MOST “ELECTABLE STATUS NOW” 76% SO YOU GUYS VOTING FOR MCCAIN CAUSE “HE CAN WIN” NEED TO MAYBE RETHINK IT.

[pgkdan]

Romney is now seen as the most electable Republican candidate—76% believe he would be at least somewhat likely to win the White House if nominated. Sixty-eight percent (68%) say the same about McCain. Earlier in the week, both men were viewed as at least somewhat likely to win by 69%.

Gee...I thought Rudy was the ONLY one who could beat Hillary. Oh yeah...that's old news now the MSM is telling us that McCain is the ONLY one who can beat her!

After yesterday it may not matter who can beat HER!

[BillM]

Since there are no more conservative in the hunt, what makes you believe that?

Keep in mind that the RNC is liberal Washington Insider. It allowed open primaries to oust the conservatives.
We first need to take over the establishment from the inside then go from there.

[The Forgotten Man]

What do you expect, whoraldo is a lib....

[csmusaret]

Drama Queen Geraldo and the former first lady of San Fransisco? I hardly value their political opinions.

[TLI]

will the “hard right” come to support him in November.

Hard right? Geraldo thinks he knows what "hard right" is?

And his panelists are refering to this McCain?

More of little "I'm not for amnesty and anyone that sez so is a LIAR" johnny!

[mwl1]

Concur. Carl Cameron has been pimping for McCain for days. It’s very regrettable.

Maybe Barack’s big night in SC will help people realize that McCain is no match for Obama.
