I wish Huckabee and Paul would drop out of the race and allow the voters to really decide who they want to represent them in November. It seems ridiculous that a candidate can pick up so many early votes in somewhat big states with only a 27 or 30% portion of the overall vote. This is especially problematic in states like Florida, which awards 100% of their delegates to the so-called "winner".

It appears to me that Huckabee will stay in long enough to deny Romney the chance to pick up the conservative voters who would never support McCain due to his past support of non-conservative policies.

If McCain gets the nomination, I will have to re-consider my support for the Republican party. I've felt alienated by a lot of Bush's policies (big spending, support for amnesty for illegals, etc...).

Based on how the party establishment is treating the more conservative members (Romney, Paul, Tancredo), it really seems that the conservative wing is being disenfranchised. I would be willing to vote Democrat during this upcoming election to send a message to the Republican leadership that they are not representing me anymore.

This debate proved that McCain has the ability to look at a lie and turn and give you three reasons why it is true. He is the slipperest eel since Bill Clinton slimed onto the scene.

Some of the backroom deals he is cutting with his fellow politicians like Huckabee, Guiliani, Crist, and Swartzaneger are especially troubling. Each of these clowns has been promised something to betray principle and throw in with McCain. Don't you just wonder what he has promised each of these people? Huckabee, Guiliani, and Crist have probably been promised positions within a McCain administration.
McCain owes a lot of political debts and we the American public will have to pay them if he is elected. Romney owes no such debts.

Romney is the only person who has run since Reagan who would be as good as or better than Reagan.

Another point is this so-called "flip-flopping". McCain changes his positions on an hourly basis but has the gall to accuse Romney of doing just this. Sure Romney changed a couple of positions because he was wrong. McCain "changed" his positions on amnesty to temporarily fool the public. Mitt, please save us from this awful man.

Anyone who has a long enough memory will recall that Senator McCain called the money for the pre-Olympics work on I-15 "pork barrell." This coming from a man who represents a state with some of the finest federal highways in our country. I wonder which Washington insider voted for those Arizona highway funds? Perhaps Senator McCain, from Arizona?

Romney, on the other hand, worked to make the Olympics profitable, so the average Utahn wasn't paying for the Olympics for years to come.

I was also a supporter of Senator McCain for President. I am no longer.

For some reason I looked the other way when he stood smiling beside his mother while she vilified Mormons.

I cannot look the other way when he lies about Governor Romney's position on time tables for withdrawal in Iraq. He raised that point in a timely manner to let the lie hang in the air so he, Senator McCain, could win military votes in the panhandle of Florida. He is disingenuous, he is a lier, and our Governor supports Senator McCain who is using such tactics. It was the worst kind of dishonest, Washington insider politics.

Is an interesting article highlights the irrelevancy of all except Dr Paul's words.

McCain is a senior Senator who was in the middle of the Republican pork barrelling which has spent us into record deficits. When retirees receive drastically reduced Social Security benefits because our taxes are going to pay off the debt, Senator McCain and his pork barrell buddies will be collecting nice, fat, Senatorial pensions.

He's a slug, and he'll "gun boat politic" our country into debt and ruin. While other countries are working to become economic powers, McCain still sees our country as a military super-power, and those of his ilk will waste our money and our young men making enemies across he globe.

Mitt did a great job tonight. I have always been a McCain fan until tonight. He has twisted the intent of what Governor Romney was saying regarding timetables, as he was grasping at straws. I thought McCain was more honest than this. McCain has flip-flopped on many more issues. There is a LONG way to go and Mitt is still my choice. We are lucky to have someone of his brains and calibre to run for President.

I really feel sorry for our country to think that McCain could be our President. I will not vote for him. He is so sure of himself. And I didnt like his snide, rude comments at the debate last night. Romney looked and acted like a Presdident. I am proud of him for taking McCains remarks and proving him wrong. I like Mitt Romney, even though I don't agree with everything he says. he is nearest to being a President that we have running in the race on either side of the parties. WE may not get him but I will vote for him.

McCain is a mean-spirited, lying old codger who loves to play on the usual sympathies voters have for war vets. Romney and Huckabee are far more qualified to be president. I'd rather vote for Barrack or Hillary than McCain because they are openly Democratic and McCain is a closet Democrat.

Romney is smart, strong, confident and has America's best interest at heart. Every one of these candidates have changed thier minds on issues over the years but McCain insists on portraying Romney as the only one who has done so. And since when did stating facts about a candidates record become an 'attack'? McCain outright lied about Romneys record last night and Romney categorically corrected McCain on those lies. McCain looked bad last night.

Vote RON PAUL and save the american people.
If you want to save the country, the USA, vote "RON PAUL" for President. John McCain and Mitt Romney support the presence of illegal aliens and open border policies for the illegals to penetrate and victimize the American people. Ron Paul is the only candidate that wants to reagin the soverignty of the United States and also put government back in the hands of the people, not a business owned government that we have had for too many years. We are seeing the results of business in control of government and the economy, now we need some real leadership and backbone in government that we can get with RON PAUL at the helm. He is being backdoored by the news media and political manipulation because he stands for the people which none of the other candidates espouse, democrat or republican.

It's really a shame that the American people have decided it's okay to vote away someone's liberty. I'm still amazed that so many are sucked into the mass delusion that it is just for one man to take the fruits of another man's labor. That's what most people vote for today.

I will never understand why McCain thinks he has a right to put words in Romney's mouth. Why can't American voters see what a crock this man is?

In my entire life, I have never voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate, but I will this year should McCain come out with the nomination. This man is completely unimpressive and too OLD to be president.

The McCain-Romney square off last night reminded me of a basketball game late in the contest. (Huck and Ron need not apply anymore... they can go sit on a bench). McCain has taken the edge, the lead, and has decided to make Romney play his game: national defense, support for more war, etc. Smiling, ducking, running. Lieing. McCain has the ball and he does not want to give it up. He has old "MO" on his side.

You see this when a team gets ahead by a few points and then changes their game to keep the ball, wait, patiently wait for the other team to foul, etc. Wait for your opponent to make a mistake.

Is Romney powerless against this new strategy? His adviors know that he is in trouble. So look for a hard foul, or a couple of 3 pointers to try to catch up. Coming from behind is very difficult on the political field of basketball.

McCain also is a senior, very senior actually, and he knows what to do. Mitt, warm up the 3 point shooters, and change your press. Otherwise, the tournament belongs to the senior experienced team.

Rah! Rah sisboombah!!

I have to admit, I used to be a fan of McCain. But I have not appreciated his tactics of late, trying to twist the words of Romney. It's unbecoming and almost childish. Romney took some shots earlier and he's paying for it now but he never came across as a puerile miscreant. I could have voted for McCain before but my vote is now going to Obama. I'm too liberal for Romney but I respect him and appreciate what he could have done.

I Think I'd vote for Obama before McCain. If the choice is between two liberals, I'll take the one who is less a part of the good old boys club.

Wow, I can't wait for McCain to run against Hillary. Talk about the lesser of two choices. I've been saying that DC is broken for years and the people in America want to stick a career politician in there to fix it? Yeah, doesn't make sense to me either. Oh well, I guess I'll sit back and watch the economy rot and my taxes go up. Yippy.

It's like his mother said we'll have to accept him holding our noses.

I'm going to write in somebody, but I won't vote for McCain this election.
