Anyone else hoping Romney wins on Tuesday?
I think McCain is the strongest candidate the Republicans can put up. Romney is a phony who can be beaten easily. But if McCain wins I believe he will win South Carolina (He is leading in the polls there now) and win states such as California on super Tuesday to get the nomination. I think in a general he can take states such as New Mexico because he isn't latino-phobic. So I'm hoping that independents vote in the Democratic race and the crazies vote for Romney.

1. Absolutely!!!
Just watch the video in the thread I just posted. If he's the nominee, it will truly be a Dem landslide for the ages.

4. Yes
I would love Romney to win Tuesday. Romney is a lightweight, the democrats will wipe the floor with him in the general election.

2. I'm torn between hoping Romney wins on Tuesday and hoping the entire
Republican field is devoured by polar bears an hour before the primary begins.

The trend is moving strongly toward the polar bear option.

12. Polar bears know Republicans aren't good for them, but they eat them
anyway.

3. Very much so
Obama will hurt McCain with independents, it would be cool if it was enough difference to give it to Romney. :)

Could possibly make our job easier down the road. imo

5. McCain will win it imo. The question is, will it be enough to boost his 3rd and 4th place
standings in all the other states? I don't think so. 2008 will be like 2000 for McCain.

6. I do. I want them to have a costly, drawn-out, vicious primary that nominates a weak candidate.
Romney is a huge part of that hope, and his winning New Hampshire would be great.

7. me too
A victorious but weakened Romney is much more preferable than a strengthened McCain. Given how much was made of his flip flops in the primary, he is destined to lose in the general. Plus, if Romney wins it will make the GOP primary even more muddled and prolonged.

9. No
I think romney is the most dangerous of their field. He may flip and flop but he is also pretty charismatic and pretty damn good at framing issues. Of the whole field he is probably the most coherent.

Mcain just doesn't have the charisma anymore to pull off a GE. We have proven time and time again that our electorate is more susceptible to style than it is to substance and mcain just doesn't have any style. He's old tired and thinks he is funny and isn't.

I actually thought romney won the republican debate the other night despite being attacked by everyone else there. I think he is very dangerous and probably the only dangerous one of the field.

13. Romney builds unfavorables like no other guy I've ever seen.
He is so easy to decimate. I've been watching this guy closely for years. He is easily taken apart if you only have the will to do so. He is articulate, but not that clever. If you're not from the Midwest, you don't get why he will get smoked.

14. Romney is better than McCain. He has no foreign policy experience.
They will lose their best argument. What else do they have. He is a dolt.
Remember in last night's debate when he said 47 million Americans just do not want
to play in the health insurance game? And he defended big Pharma. We could do
a lot worse than Plastic Head,

10. NO! And McCain will NOT win in SC. You don't understand the people
there. They will remember that McCain slammed Shrub for catering to the people at Bob Jones U, and that he criticized Falwell and Robertson for injecting religion into politics. I know 2000 was 8 years ago, but they didn't forget that! I think Huck will win SC easily. I don't want Mittens to win in NH because I want that arrogant, self centered sob to lose it all!

McCain is the only dangerous candidate in the lot for those sad sacks.

16. Yes. I Think We Can Beat Romney, and He May Be The Only One Who Can Stop the Huckster
If the Repiglickins nominate Huckster, we're Fuckabeed!

17. I'd like Mitt to take the nomination. I think everyone beats him.
McCain can beat Obama and Clinton in the general.
