McCain wins Florida primary

Another Silver Medal!!!!

We here in NC may still get the chance to be the deciders of this race. Mitt has no quit in him and McCain has no scruples. McCain told lies about Mitt and the news media backed him up and repeated them ad nauseum. The German propagandist Goebells said "If you tell a lie long enough it becomes the truth.". McCain learned this lesson well. Mitt should counter with telling the truth more emphatically, while maintaining his standard of not personally attacking his opponents character. However I can attack McCain's character or lack thereof. He has fooled some people into believing he is a serious candidate. But McCain, like Ross Perot did in 1992 and 1996, is working to get another Clinton in the white house. If he wins the Republican nomination, with his liberal bias, he will turn off the conservative Republicans. They will stay home and the Senate and House, as well as the White House, will be filled with Dems. A vote for John McCain is a vote for Hillary Clinton. Please support Mitt as I plan to do and let's have a real chance for peace and prosperity.

The news article doesn't seem to represent balanced reporting to me.

This was our last chance to elect someone extremely intelligent who has both private and government experience. I can't say I like the way he has run his campaign. It's a no win to be in the extreme conservative side since there is only 25% - 30% (not far from what he's won in MI and Fla) who are in that camp and many see these policies/views as another 4 years of Bush/Cheney. If he had run as a moderate, he would have done better and been more believable.

What a terribly written story. The republicans HAD a front-runner prior to the Florida primary. It was Romney. But the liberal media didn't want to admit that there was a front-runner until it was someone they wanted. When is Romney going to get the credit he deserves?

Many McCain supporters are die-hard Bush fans. Nothing will change from what we have today: a dunce in the oval office who will spend us into oblivion and invite illegal aliens to the U. S. with open arms. Hey, John, who's the hot, young chick with you?

Ok so McCain won Florida, big deal; a state where Cubans and retirees make a majority of the population is not an average state. Romney will carry all the western states, and he might do well in California too. Conservatives won't stand still and won't allow McCain to be the GOP nominee.

Silver medals don't cut it at this stage of the game

Silver Medal means diddly sqat. Silver medal means zero delegate. Mitt Romney is just about finished. Go McCain.

Unfortunately, what happened in the last few days prior to the Florida election appears to be the same thing the Republican party did when we elected Bob Dole to be the nominee--it was his turn. The GOP has a long history of the establishment bending over backward to give the nomination to the guy who's been trying long and hard and it's just "his turn". When Crist and Martinez announced last-minute endorsements, Guliani talking about the same... it's more evidence that, as a party, the GOP is ready to set up for a loss in the general election by putting up the wrong nominee. I just hope Super Tuesday somehow changes things for Romney... so close, it will be interesting with Guliani out of the race--I can only hope that Huckabee will drop out, too... but, probably not, because he'll stay just to make things easier for McCain, too.

To become a true Utah conservative, it's required that all candidates take a rabies test. John McCain's test came out negative, so he was disqualified.

To all the dilluted LDS out there:

GOD and my SAVIOR stepped in again to save the USA.

FLORIDA DOES NOT WANT A LDS USA PRESIDENT!

The only good thing Mitt is doing is pumping his

own money into the economy

A fool and his money will soon depart.

May God save the USA. Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No silver in FL - it is winner takes all, everyone else gets nada.

Romney or Democrats, NEVER McCain!! I don't trust him at all, especially his position on ADA and illegal immigrants.

If McCain now wins the Republican nomination, who do Utah conservatives vote for? McCain calls himself a conservative, but is clearly a rogue--he calls himself a "maverick" because he has a history of opposing conservative values. And like Bush, he does whatever he wants and the people can go hang. Because of the large number of unaffiliated voters in Utah (60%), we can still defeat McCain by voting for Obama, who is the only one who can defeat him in a general election. Come on, Utah, vote for someone who can pull this country together. Hillary will polarize, as will McCain. Neither have their party base with them anymore!

Mitt -- UR still the 1!!! Please get on your campaign managers in Missouri, where I live, though? No one is getting back to us on yard signs and campaign materials!!! Thanks...onward and upward!

You good folks in Florida will think twice when Mr. McCain opens another Cuban boat floatilla like his mentor Jimmy Carter. You'll be over-run with more illegal aliens from your south and south-west. Best of luck to you Mr. Stowe. I hope you like tacos and the peso. Good luck when you try to escape from the sunshine state.

Any Democrat nominee would be proud to have McCain for a VP. Trouble is, Mitt would fit right in there too.

Let's see what new story Mitt can come up with now. He'll change what he stands for just like before Michigan.. Too bad all the mormon states have voted and it's downhill for the mittster.

I'm encouraged that I'm not the only one that sees McCain as a Bush clone. Hopefully the rest of the nation will get clued into that before next Tuesday. But let's face it, even Mitt is in favor of the war in Iraq. With a Republican president, the war will never end. I don't generally vote Democrat but if we want the war to end we've got to keep the Republicans out of the White House. Hopefully the Dem. nominee will be Obama but I'd even vote for Hillary over McCain any day.
