Mitt will prevail even after this defeat. God has a plan for his chosen people and this is a part of it.

This is all foolishness
Howevewr the money is flowing
The people do not elect the president
Bush did not win by the peoples vote
The Electorial Coledge needs to be removed
This was a safe guard to over throw the peoples vote
a long time ago and it still stands in the way of the people
The Media needs to be quiet

for us TRUE reagan conservatives senator mccain is simply unacceptable. there is NO difference between a mccain presidency or a democratic one, none. he has never met a tax cut he liked (his voting record backs that up), he has never met a conservative issue he has not at one point bashed (once again look at his record), he has never met a democrat he did not agree with (again look at his record) and the judges he will appoint will be at best moderate and look what that has gotten us. is romney perfect NO, but as a TRUE conservative i will not vote for somone who is no better than a democrat. the best we can hope for is a brokered convention. God help this party if the stand for nothing moderates like mccain get control. in the end the GOP will be no better than the DNC a pandering soulless body begging to be liked by everyone and respected by none, and the moderate republicans like mccain and his ilk will have killed the reagan legacy for all time.

Big debate tonight: California. One or more of the candidates will play switch around. Mitt will probably congratulate John on his win in Florida. Makes things civil. Huck might also do that, depends on who gets to speak first.

I expect a curve ball from someone. McCain will play it straight, he is in the lead. Mitt has to change things: probably some economic forecast or program. Maybe enlist to show his patriotism? Or one of his sons decides to be like the regular males and enlist? Huck throw a curve or two to catch up, get attention. I suppose some fed. law against sin. Usually preachers are opposed to it, so this will come naturally and with great ferver.

I only wish all of them would address the major issues facing the nation. Is that hoping for too much? I think, too, that if a candidate mentions Hillary Clinton by name they have to put $1000 in the jar for hurricane relief for New Orleans. Mention her three times and you owe $5000. More than 3 times you have to quit running for office -- because you obviously forgot to talk about you and the issues, and not her!

With so many jingoists today, it's great to see Mitt Romney's superior military experience.
Perhaps he can buy his way into being a war hero or something.
Is this a great country or what?

Can you face it now? | 7:11 p.m. Jan. 30, 2008

A Democrat will be elected in the 2008 election. It's either Hilary or Obama folks. They are both good candidates. Start looking at them and come back to reality. I would hate to not face reality for the next number of years and have excuses (or even bitterness). Sometimes the Republicans rule...sometimes the Democrats. They each have their strenghs, but we are shortly coming up to the Democrats.

Yah gotta give Mitt credit. He found two young kids to hold for the cameras and the photo has stayed on the web news for days now. Being logical-- his next step is to find triplets, say by Monday for the photo op to have any future value. Boys, girls, or mixed, doesn't matter.

But after the triplets in the arms, it gets tough to top it. Maybe a photo of him helping a car full of nuns get out of a snow bank somewhere in northern California. No? How about a dog put up for adoption that just got adopted? I vote for the Mutt that gets named Mitt and finds a home with a little girl named, "Repub." What a story!!

Seriously, I think his next photo will show him and his kids pushing a car out of a snow bank somewhere in NY. This will lead to a discovery by a reporter that the old couple in the car were democrats but now will vote republican.

Oh......... somebody pass the oxygen! It is too good for prime time, let's film it for the record.

Did you notice on the debates that it takes McCain twice as long as Romney to answer the modertators questions? Romney is never boring and has a great vocabulary. McCain puts me to sleep. He won't be Pres. I admire him as a veteran and as a former POW, but he doesn't have what it takes to be president. In the past we had to vote for the lesser of the two evils, but in 2008 we have a real gem in Romney. Let's not pass up this rare opportunity. Obama and Hillary are socialists. They are saying nothing original or intelligent.

true patriot | 11:47 p.m. Jan. 30, 2008

On the debate the other night Mccain and Romney called each other liberals and you know what they are both right. The only true conservative is Ron Paul even if I have to write his name in the ballot.I will never gain vote for the lesser of to evils. Because you know what you get? still EVIL.

I like Mitt Romney, but he will not get the nomination.
McCain scares me. If I wanted a liberal democrat for president, I would probably vote for Obama.
Romney is best prepared to "run" this country.
It will be a sad day if McCain wins the presidency.
McCain is just a "republican" John Kerry.

Mark | 8:36 a.m. Jan. 31, 2008

The writing is on the wall.... Mitt Romney will NEVER be President.

McCain is such a hero, he came home after the war and was unfaithful to his wife, who had waited 5 years and then married the daughter of the Budweiser Distributorship in Phoenix, which that money was used to buy fancy digs in Sedona Ariz. to get out of the sun in Phoenix. He is a non-truth teller and hopefully has lost the respect and support of millions of people in the intermt. west.

change is good | 12:07 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008

Romney had to defend his record as Massachusetts governor from a laundry list of McCain criticism; he seemed so flustered by the attacks that he had to keep looking down at his notes, underlining points on a card as he spoke them out loud. He did better when he stuck to his "Washington is broken" theme, though at times he struggled to avoid listing President Bush among the vandals in response to questions from CNN, Politico and Los Angeles Times reporters.

I love watch Republicans turn on each other.

Re: Mitt, the Invincible | 8:05 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008

Mitt Romney earned his millions fair and square, honestly, by his ingenuity and superior intellect. I submit that it is none of What a Joke's business or the business of anyone else how he spends his money. I think it's to his credit that he chooses to spend his money pursuing the presidency--so butt out! And to That's it for Mitt. Don't be too sure. Mitt cleaned McCain's clock in the most recent debate and the verbal exchanges between Mitt and the self-proclaimed straight-talking, truth-teller in the debate revealed just how pompous and arrogant McCain really is. I think McCain is beginning to realize that he has a tiger by the tail. Mitt didn't earn his millions by being timid. He has been accused of being arrogant. I call him self-confident. Don't confuse the two. Go, Mitt.
