Romney solidifies front-runner status is not true. The latest polls show Cain as the front runner.
BINGO...the press has annointed Romney to be the guy Obama can beat....and that is that....
In 1988 writers at the Boston Glob were certain that Michael Dukakis had a shot at the White House. They were also certain that Massachusetts was going through some kind of economic miracle that I wasn’t seeing.
Not true is right.
Romney is the one that the Democrats want as they know that their long-term goals will not be jeopardized even if he wins.
LOL, we have not even had one primary yet and the msm is already giving romney the nod. They don’t get it, the majority of pubs do NOT want romney, and they really really really mean it.
> The latest polls show Cain as the front runner.
Cain is DOA unless he modifies his tax plan.
Almost everybody I know, including me, will be hurt by it.
I have 9 kids, a mortgage, and very high NH property taxes. I lose the child credit, the mortgage deduction, the property tax deduction, and I get a national 9% sales tax on everything besides.
It’s a lose-lose-lose-lose situation for me.
I haven’t found anybody in local TEA circles that thinks 999 is a good idea. Most of the TEA people I know, are dead set against it and will vote accordingly.
Willard will do pretty good in those Rockefeller Republican states with open primaries, because of the Dems crossing over to vote for the man Obama can beat. This is a redux of how we got Dole, McCain, and why GHWB was Reagan’s VP.
Super Tuesday will be a different story.
In 2008, Giuliani had a very large majority of the polling momentum, as did Hillary Clinton.
In the end, it was completely different. Cain is much like Giuliani, in regards to outright short term popularity, which at this stage, is driven by mostly fanatical, political groupies, who eat, drink and sleep politics.
Give it time, especially after the money campaign starts. At this stage, it is historically favored by the most well funded and organized candidates. Given the facts, this is probably why McCain took the nomination.
Like it or not, the McCain campaign did have impeccable organization and planning. This is due to McCain's 30 years of political/election experience. Perry and Romney are the ones who will follow that trend and their funding is an indication of their solid voter support.
