I'm supporting Huckabee, but repeating McCain's lies about Romney will not help.
Florida exit polls are very interesting:
Romney won pro-lifers.
Romney won the mainstream religious. (Huckabee won the very religious less than one-fifth of the pool.)
Romney won the Protestants.
Romney tied Huckabee with Evangelicals.
Romney won the pro-GWB voters.
Romney is the primary second choice of Giuliani voters, Thompson voters . and McCain voters.
Romney won the immigration hard-liners.
Romney won the upper-middle class, earning between $100,000 and $200,000 annually.
Romney won the terrorism-oriented voters.
Romney won the self-identified conservatives and the self-identified very conservative.
Romney won the values-oriented voters.
Romney won the white voters.
Romney won the tax-cutting voters.
In short, Mitt Romney won the Republican Partys idea of itself and that, too, is a big deal.
If youre white, Protestant, anti-abortion, go to church on Sundays, think well of the President, want lower taxes, hate terrorists, make a good living, want to do something about immigration, and live in Florida, chances are you voted Romney.
The question before Florida was whether McCain could win a closed Republican race, and now we know he can.
The question now is whether he can win conservatives and in Florida, he did not. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/30/romneys-ideal-victory/?ref=opinion
