So let's recap:

McCain attacks Romney. Huckabee attacks Romney. Media attacks Romney.

Media avoids attacking McCain. Huckabee avoids attacking McCain. McCain avoids attacking Media. McCain avoids attacking Huckabee.

Yup...this has liberal fingerprints all over it.

That’s a lot of “could”, “may” and “might” even for an alphabet network.

Of course this is to give the impression that the Romney tent is folding.

But - if a primary season is weighted to a single day that requires 22 concurrent tasks it takes a certain amount of staff to man those tasks.

When the balance of the primary season rarely places more than 2 important tasks on a single day it clearly takes less staff to man that objective. Any campaign that isn’t cutting staff, is probably operating inefficiently. Go figure.

Of course the MSM supports McCain. They will support and pump the candidate that does the most harm to Conservatives and thusly helps the Libs. The same reason they were giving the Huckabee spin up a while back. They want to do everything they can to muddy the waters on the Right.

The MSM branch of the MoveOn/Democratic Party is doing it’s part.

Issues aside, it was insiders versus an outsider, with a big ol' helpin' of religious bigotry thrown in for lagniappe.

Sorry Frodo, but you post one troll after another.
And you have since you started a very short time ago.

As someone else once observed, "Once is a fluke. Twice is a pattern. Third time is evidence."

We're about a thousand layers into the "evidence" stage that McCain is being propped up by none but the effete elite liberals who have corrupted and manipulated the Republican party.

Huh?

Media avoids attacking McCain?

I consider Rush, Ann C., etc. “media.” HUGE media. They spent the last few weeks skewering McCain in every way possible.

And in doing so, they drove Romney out of the race by sending votes to Huckabee.

Last night’s GOP results have conservative fingerprints all over them.

As Huckabee told us,one thing Romney knows for sure is how to lay people off!

might
Probably not a bad idea, probably had a significant organization in place for the super Tuesday 22 state primary. There is a smaller market now needs targeting,
heavy targeting.

Conservatives waited too long to coalesce behind one candidate and there still appears to be a big percentage that think Huckabee is conservative. Also I think there is some anti-Mormon bigotry going on with Southern churchgoers.
We are stuck with a choice of way out liberal (Obama), really really liberal (Clinton), or sorta liberal (McCain)

Just great....

“ABC News’ Matt Stuart Reports:”

Your first mistake. If Romney said it, post HIS OWN WORDS. Not quotes from, but actually coming from Romneys mouth. Otherwise it’s just more MSM drive bye humdrum crapola!

I know what you mean. I want to see the delegate count, and the upcoming races, before evaluating the race.

I was listening to the analyists speculating this morning about how Romney could drop out and support Huckabee. But Romney has more delegates! Under that logic, maybe McCain should drop out and support Romney.

The deep hatred the media seems to have for Reomney is, to me, the most compelling reason to support him. He must be doing something right!

Mitt Romney suggested Saturday

So this has nothing to do with Tuesday's results.

Sorry...but Rush and Ann have but a fraction of the audience that the "mainstream" media has. Amd when their remarks do get coverage in the "mainstream" media, they have been twisted and distorted to the point that they're unrecognizable compared to their original remarks.

Let's face it: the people who elected and re-elected Clinton don't get their talking points from Rush or Ann; they get it from the Spew York Times and other liberal rags.

Last night’s GOP results have conservative fingerprints all over them.

Conservatives don't support liberal RINOs like McCain. Anyone who says otherwise is trying to sell you something.
