LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney plans to run a "significant" level of television ads in California and other states that vote Tuesday in essentially a national primary, aides said Thursday, signaling a willingness to aggressively try to derail Republican front-runner John McCain.

sorry, no link yet....this is a legit story.

Ohh maybe he is dropping out of the Race then we can get over this McCain bashing...

Well then, I guess I will donate more to him then. We can’t give into McCain, not yet!

[nmh]

Could you privately e-mail the link when available?

I NEED THAT.

[rintense]

You’re dreaming. Romney will use McCain’s crap from last night to go after him big time, and expose him for the lying liberal he is.

[B Knotts]

Hardly. McCain looked bad last night. He is vulnerable.

[Constitution Day]

BUMP

[SoFloFreeper]

Or maybe (just maybe) we can have a fight for the nomination at the convention.

Nominate someone who doesn’t want to squash First Amendment rights and give amnesty to illegal aliens.

That’d work, too.

His best bet would be announcing a strong conservative VP runningmate with a military background or connection.

[SoFloFreeper]

Thanks.

Mod, what happened to the thread? :)

[Just mythoughts]

Well I sure hope he has somebody on staff knowledgeable to debunk the McCain half truths and outright lies, stains, and smears.

[reagan_fanatic]

We can’t give into McCain, not yet!

Absolutely correct! If McCainiac gets it, we'll lose the election. Period.

[Rio]

I heard that Arnold endorsed McCain. Maybe that will help Romney.

[mewzilla]

Hardly. McCain looked bad last night. He is vulnerable.

I don't think the endorsement by that RINO extraordinaire Schwarzenegger will help outside of CA.

And considering the shape the state's in, maybe not all that much inside of CA...

[redgirlinabluestate]

We cannot give up. A vote against Romney is a vote for McCain. The people in Florida who voted for Mitt think like Freepers. See the interesting stats here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1962388/posts?page=62#62

You are nuts, if you think McCain is going to win the general election. It will never happen without the base. I am one of the base. I give money to the party, time, and my vote. I will NOT do it for McCain! He will lose, I just hope it is before we pick our nominee.

[SoFloFreeper]

The thread disappeared. ?

[Miss Didi]

This morning the Friends on Fox were breathlessly reporting that Mitt was running NO ads for Super Tuesday and what did that mean...hmmmmm??? Then some religious expert came on to say that McCain could pick Huck for the Christian vote. For the first time in my life, I switched over to CNN.

[B Knotts]

True. California is a closed primary, so only Republicans will vote. Schwarzenegger would be more influential among Democrats.

[Miss Didi]

I heard that Arnold endorsed McCain. Maybe that will help Romney.

We should hope so...they are doing the announcement at a Global Warming gig.

[lormand]

This McCain trainwreck needs to be put to sleep, ASAP!

[Tulsa Ramjet]

ha ha.

I like Ron Pauls comment about whether the president can be the CEO of the economy, which he said no. And that is what Mitt is Running on. Even though Bush’s stimulous package which includes tax rebates to illegas is an interesting take.

Nixon wasn’t a governor and he did fine, relatively speaking, so McCain has a shot. Let’s face it. The president’s job is to protect the nation, nominate judges, and do photo ops at disaster sites. Anything credited more is over-reaching.

[Bigun]

McStain can kiss my A**!

[McGruff]

Ohh maybe he is dropping out of the Race then we can get over this McCain bashing...

Or maybe McCain will start telling the truth.

"I will not take the low road to the highest office in the land. I want the presidency in the best way, not the worst way." Sen. McCain in 2000.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

“signaling a willingness to aggressively try to derail Republican front-runner John McCain.”.....McAmnesty is already a train wreck.

[Constitution Day]

It was in Breaking News and then pulled off... sigh

[rintense]

Are there any republicans in Cali that like Arnold?

[nmh]

THANKS.

LIBERALS are lready churning out lies that he is about to withdraw.

“Ohh maybe he is dropping out of the Race then we can get over this McCain bashing...”

Oh no, we’re just getting started - there’s so much more to call him out on.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

McCain bashing will never go out of style in my book.

[Miss Didi]

I’m a NYer...Cali FReepers, what say you?

[jmj3jude]

I live in Florida, Florida was won for McNuts because of Miami and broward. Large Hispanic populations. Mel Martinez barley won Floria last time. It was Bush who pulled him over the finish line. Bush had a 5% more votes then Mel. The base of the party, Conservatives voted for Mitt, such as my family. McCain will never raise enough money, I think it will effect the whole party. We are in real trouble if he is the nominee.

[Miss Didi]

He was such a crabby, bitter, stubborn old man last night. I pray that people saw the debate.

[MSSC6644]

Nixon wasn’t a governor and he did fine, relatively speaking, so McCain has a shot.

Nixon had served as vice-president for eight years. He had experience well beyond that of being Senator.

[khnyny]

Did you see the thread where Bill Clinton said that the US needs to slow down it’s economy because of global warming? LOL.

[Miss Didi]

Not yet...however, this just caught my eye on Drudge:

EXCLUSIVE: NANCY REAGAN FOR MCCAIN, TOP SOURCE TELLS DRUDGE: 'SHE ADORES HIM, AND IS FULLY SUPPORTING HIM IN HER PRIVATE LIFE. SHE WILL NOT PUBLICLY ENDORSE'...

[Blue Turtle]

GO MITT!! KEEP FIGHTING!!

[Tulsa Ramjet]

Yeah but Nixon was broke, and McCain has beer money.

I really don’t know what I mean by that, but it sounded relevant in a non-purposeful way.

[Tulsa Ramjet]

She’s already laid out his astrology speaking schedule.

[gruna]

Nixon did fine? He gave us Jimmah Carter.

[khnyny]

[Yeah but Nixon was broke, and McCain has beer money.

LOL. That’s very funny. Do you know this, right??

McCain, his wealth tied to wife’s family beer business

McCain has a LOT more money than he is required to disclose.

[gruna]

No such luck, McCain lover.

[crymeariver]

My first donation to a candidate went to Mitt this morning. Let’s make headlines about how much Mitt brought in today, a day after he took McLame to the dog shed! This is our last chance I’m afraid.

[Red_Devil 232]

Looks like Mrs. Romney has adjusted the spending limit up a notch or two. Reports (FNC) are that this will be a massive ad attack. California plus five other states that have not been named yet.

Anybody know how expensive these types of ads might be?

I bet Colorado is one of the 5. Wonder why it is being limited to five other states, if it is limited at all.

[ElectricStrawberry]

Wow....a Presidential candidate is going to run ads in a state that’s about to have a primary?

Whodathunkit???!!!!!!!!

The president’s job is to protect the nation, nominate judges, and do photo ops at disaster sites. Anything credited more is over-reaching.

Well, and also to veto bills from Congress that he finds odiferous. You must have forgotten that one because for 6 years President Bush forgot to use it! :-)

[Tulsa Ramjet]

“because for 6 years President Bush forgot to use it! :-)”

That’s because Bush was too busy spending money like a drunken national guardsman.
