In their coverage of what they believed to be Romney's political funeral on Super Tuesday, let's get a few facts straight:
Romney crushed Huckabee in the popular vote today, winning by margin of approximately 2:1.
Romney won more delegates than Huckabee
Romney won more states than Huckabee
Romney won roughly 2x as many 1st or 2nd place finishes.
Romney didn't poll less than 10% in any state, and as for Huckabee, well, ouch!!
Romney will clearly be the #2 Republican in terms of electoral votes after Super Tuesday.
So while McCain is clearly the front-runner, Fox News couldn't have erred more badly in terms of who had the better night between Romney & Huckabee.
Romney has had to battle crap like this from day one. He’s a warrior..and the more he fights, the more I like him.
NewsCorp executive officers endorsed Jean Kerry (D) in 2004. Murdoch gave money to Hillary’s Senate campaign.
Fox News isn’t conservative.
None of the candidates have any electoral votes.
Yes, a little butter to go with that picture of the Huckster.
I would say McCain will be toast vs Obama...should that happen
I watched cartoons until late then listened to talk radio. I did not watch Fox Snooze so I would not get upset. From what mark said Fox sucks.
Agreed ... he might beat the HillBillies but Obama will clean his clock, something the Republican establishment (and Fox News) doesn’t understand.
I was with Fred, then Romney. No way this guy is voting for a neocommunist like mccain or huckster. 3rd party protest vote is looking like the only way to live with self!
I don’t care what numbers Fox gets right or wrong anymore.
I’ve found their coverage through the primary season to be so awful I watch CNN.
I’m not alone.
Hey Mitt, haaaaaaaappy traaaaaaaaaaaaaaailsss tooooooooo youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu untilllllllllll we meeeeeeeeeeeeet agaaaaain......
It has to be in context, not just raw numbers. Candidates have to analyze a situation and decide when to stop.
There is a point where if the wrong decision is made it can mean pulling out too early, or perhaps worse, destroying a hard fought for brand.
Presumably you’re talking about Huckabee? Logic dictates he would be the first to drop out, then Romney.
USA =
Amen !If Obama can avoid an Arkincide, he will win
Romney = small caucii
What I got out of the Fox News commentary tonight was that Huckabee was a winner because he gained a lot of delegates and he wasn’t expected to do as well as he did. They also talked about his Southern strategy, which to them appeared to have worked well. I don’t know, I’m no strategerist, but I’d definitely say it wasn’t a good night for teh Mitt.
Americans will never elect that oily scumbag Obama, no matter how stupid they are.
