ATLANTA -- The pundits may have counted him out, but former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney sounds like a man who plans to keep going, no matter what happens at the polls on Super Tuesday. Romney acknowledged he is the underdog, but said he would "surprise" people who were counting on a McCain sweep. "I am definitely the underdog compared to Sen. McCain, a number of people have proclaimed that," Romney told reporters after a rally in downtown Atlanta. "But the nice thing about being the underdog is they typically win." Romney said he sensed a "shift in the tide" as Republicans contemplated McCain as the potential nominee. "I plan on doing real well on Tuesday," he said. "I don't think we are halfway through as of Tuesday, maybe about halfway, and then we will go on and continue to rack up delegates, and I am planning on winning this nomination." At every stop in a whirlwind tour of battleground states, Romney has knocked McCain as a "liberal" who votes for higher taxes or wants to allow illegal immigrants to become citizens. He constantly insists that it has become a two-man race, even as former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee continues in the race, effectively splitting the conservative vote with Romney.

Maybe he will cry.. No, he won't cry. McCain will just spout obscenities at his staff.

Hey...it worked for the Giants... Yeah maybe McCain will spend the closing minutes of the campaign throwing ridiculous "hail mary" passes.

All Mitt has to do is stay in until Mount McCain BLOWS on the campaign trail.
McCain has a better chance than most of destroying his own chances.

I was there today. He looked great, got a terrific intro from the always inspiring Herman Cain, gave a focused and rousing speech, and most importantly, was sweet to my baby! LOL.

McCain has a better chance than most of destroying his own chances. I certainly hope so.
