Republican Presidential thread

[Fool]

And a conservative.

The untold story at the moment seems to be Romney in Florida, who is keeping up with and, in some cases, polling ahead of John "Momentum" McCain and Rudy "Freefall" Giuliani.

Huck pulled out of Florida. I don't like this guy at all. Here is Florida, one of the only swing states of the big 4 and he won't compete. what a douche bag.

edit...meaning NY, CA always goes blue and Texas goes red. Fla is a biggie. If you can't compete there, you have no biz getting the nomination, imo.

I'm amazed that Huckabee's having a hard time in Florida. Check out when his numbers go from the twenties to the teens:

He lost momentum in Florida -after- he won Iowa.

911 voters. That's funny.

I'm interested in the fallout from the Florida/Michigan early primary dance for the Republican side. If Mitt manages to win Florida (he's tied or ahead in most polls, even after McCain's recent endorsements), and can leverage that into a good Super Tuesday performance... WHOA MAMA! The RNC's decision to cave in to Florida and Michigan will have huge ramifications. Those small Southern states that the Republicans need to push 'em over the top won't be lining up behind Romney in a general election, that's for damn sure.

Just a general comment about the Republicans...The race is way WAY more boring than the Dems.

Bringing in an Ex-Prez to sling mud is priceless.

Its rumored, that after RG's disappointing performance tonight in Florida, he will throw his support behind McCain tommorow...possibly after the California debate.

Fuck...conservative Republicans have no one to vote for if McCain gets the nod.

The field is too crowded and the RNC likes winner-take-most and winner-take-all delegate awarding. So you're seeing the candidates get big delegates winning with small percentages, leaving out a lot of people. The social conservates are getting screwed. I suspect Huckabee is the VP no matter who wins the nod for President, which should be interesting.
