Posted by: Jonathan Garthwaite at 10:24 PM
Most of the major networks are getting confirmations from inside the Giuliani and McCain campaigns.

Dear anti-mormon biggot... it is sad but true that you will need the Romney supporters to have any chance of seeing your candidate win the big white house. You cannot do it without us. You will not do it without us. If your choice of John McCain has any chance of winning the White House it might be time to start a more positive discussion with the 'rom-bots' and the 'Bishop' supporters. You might want to take a look at the total votes that have gone Romney's way thus far. Don't you think that McCain will need those votes (more total votes than ANY other candidate thus far) in order to be President? Let me help you understand this... McCain need us or all of this is for naught. All his work, all of his lies, all of his rabid dog supporters who want to rail against the 'Bishop' and his supporters will have to be on his side in order to win. Here is a simple truth...WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR MCCAIN because he, like you, are phony, politicking, nearsighted curmudgeons who need us. Even if you have all of the supporters from Rudy, Fred, Mike, and for fun, all of the others combined, they still do not have the numbers of Mitt's supporters. Change your tune if you want your guy to have a chance. I know you hate it, but it is true.

I feel a little blue...

One thing is still certain in my mind. There are going to be a lot of conservatives who will not support John McCain. I feel just a little bad about that. Crist is a good Gov. and the politics game went McCain's way through Crist. McCain carries more Washington clout than Romney does. No wonder the 'insiders' keep flocking behind him. I will be sorry to see Rudy go with McCain because it makes Romney's work that much harder, perhaps not even possible. But the reason I feel blue right now is because I know a whole group of folks who will not vote for McCain...even if Mitt himself says to vote for him, if that time would ever come. There is not a whole lot of difference between McCain and some of the Dems. I have never sat out an election, and I will not this time. I have never voted for a Dem, but if the Republican candidate is not Romney...There is always a first and this will be mine. Sour grapes? Nope, just sour on McCain.
McCain will not be President. Too many Conservatives say so... and I'm a little blue.

Yes you are. In your case it probably the result of a small pen*s or trouble identifying with your gender.

I'm with you. As a conservative first and Republican second, I will vote for Hillary or Obama before voting for McShamnesty in a general election.

We better get our guns now. If McCain or any of the Democrats win the presidency, our Second Amendment rights are in jeopardy and we may need them to ward off all the illegal aliens that will continue, at a greater pace, to flood across our borders.

You are probably a bad driver too.
Sarah writes: Wednesday, January, 30, 2008 12:58 AM
wuzzledorf , stop spinning
the republican party has a broad base of voters. When you imply that those who vote for McCain your credibility is shot. First, you and other romniacs said republicans in general hate Mc and they would never vote for him. Now he wins in an all republican primary and the voters are not the base? Well then, here is to the base that supports McCain because they are the deciders of this primary. And Huck will stay in the race because like us, he understands we can't afford a Mitt presidency. Huck may even win some southern states. Mc and Huck will have the most delegates combined and they will make a great team for November. Now stop whining and take your loss like Mitt did (with more sadness and less spin).

cavalier973, Feb. 5th Mitt's Miser ends
The big states will vote for Mc. He is already in the lead and a Rudy endorsement can only make it better. The south will never vote for a cult member. And the middle states have many kids in the military and their respect for McCain's service will give him an advantage. Check mate! If Mitt is stupid enough to hang on after Feb. 5th, then the upside is that the economy will benefit from his spending, and the republicans can have more time to reject him and his shared values of political expediency.
Sarah writes: Wednesday, January, 30, 2008 12:47 AM
sluggo, women make up 52% of
the electorate. Even more bad news for Mitt. Just for today, I will let you pick on me and I will not fight back. I understand it is difficult to finally get it that Mitt is not going to the whitehouse or convention as the nominee. Oh, wait I need to fix my lacey bra now and then tivo a movie from the women's channel.

The economic issue
The fact that people who think the economy is the number one issue went mostly for McCain doesn't mean those same people understand how best to fix the economy. It is salt rubbed in the wound for Romney, though, when he's been touting his business experience (and spending so much money doing it).

While Romney will probably get the nomination in the end, there is a certain satisfaction when the Mittwits, with their snarky "if you're not for Romney you must be STUPID" attitude, have to suffer through a loss every now and then.
Sarah writes: Tuesday, January, 29, 2008 11:53 PM
Even more bad news for Mitt
"In a blow to Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, McCain led among people who said the economy was the country's No. 1 issue, according to results of an exit poll conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks". Now americans know the rest of the story.

Hugh in the Movies
Hugh Hewitt following the Florida GOP primaries:

Robert DeNiro's character in Goodfellas after he finds out that Joe Pecci's character got wacked.
cavalier973 writes: Tuesday, January, 29, 2008 11:43 PM
HAHAHAHA
Mitt lost because of HUCKABEE???? I guess all those people voting for McCain had nothing to do with McCain's win in Florida tonight. I would say Mitt, to use some private sector lingo, failed to close the sale. There's just something about Romney that says "used car salesman" rather than "trusted business executive", and people pick up on it. Sure, McCain's a backstabbing sneak, but at least we've had to deal with him for some time now, and know more or less how to handle him when he goes off the deep end every now and then. Not quite sure what to do if a President Romney suddenly decides to force the whole nation to buy health insurance, or some other hideous scheme.

Sad day for Conservatives
McCain won with 36%...that means he lost 64%...64% of the Republican base did not want to vote for McCain. This is not a win...this is the disintegration of the Conservative Movement. Huckabee has adopted a scorched earth policy.If he can't win then he's taking down the conservative movement with him.He cannot be stupid enough to think he has a chance in H***. He is staying in for one reason and one reason only. He knows if he gets out, Romney will win. And he is allowing his extreme dislike of Romney and his loyalty to McCain destroy the chances of a true conservative in the White House.

Huckabee panders along his base of voters with the false promise of the fair tax which he tooted in St. Louis after his Florida loss. He knows that without the support of the Democrats...which the fair tax has not had for five years of Democratic majority in Congress...that the tax will Never pass.He cares nothing for the American people. His dislike of Romney blinds him.

I, too, am sick because after fifty years of voting, I will vote for a Democrat before I vote for McCain. I will not stay home and willing watch the demise of the conservative party I love.I hope conservatives everywhere send the message. McCain will never represent our party.

Sad Two Day's....
McCain wins in Fla, Rudy quit's throws all 15% of his support to McCain, while Kennedy give's his endorsement Barack Obama igniting memories of Camelot. Meanwhile in Iraq, yankee reconstruction continues to fail in 2008, just as it did in 1868.
colomatt writes: Tuesday, January, 29, 2008 10:40 PM
Rudy is out of his mind!
This is insane, the press has it wrong, Romney is the only one that can beat the Dems, not McCain. The libs would all vote for McCain if they weren't already voting for Obama or Hillary. McCain is a liberal in Republican clothing. I guess we all forget too soon, gang of 14, Kennedy-McCain, need I go on. McCain will kill the Republicans.

I didn't like Rudy before-really don't now.

Keep Hugh away from sharp objects...
Certain conservative opinion makers are not pleased.

Rush Limbaugh, Hugh Hewitt, much of the roster at the National Review and many (but certainly not all) of their more conservative talk radio and blogger colleagues are beside themselves at the prospect that one of the Republican contenders they deemed to be “not conservative” might be nominated. As Mike Huckabee won Iowa, John McCain took South Carolina and Fred Thompson bestirred himself to draft a note withdrawing from the race, the fretting has intensified. How could the voters reject their advice?

For McCain. He's having a heck of a day, and it looks like it'll be an even better one tomorrow!
