The best man for the job is Mitt. Based on the psychological power of :
1. Dressing for sucess and 2. People judge you by the way you speak.
Obama is ahead of Clinton in Iowa because of #2
Clinton lost because of the same reason.
Giuliani would do better if he would not talk so fast and stutter.
Huckabee won Iowa because of #2. Mitt would have won if he he wouldn't have spoken like a kid pointing out others' weaknesses instead of focusing on his own strengths.
On today's debate Mitt sounded more in control and huckabee on the defensive.
Mitt looked presidential………..
GO MITT !!!

You disciples of Slick Willy 2 need to learn that considering only one poll of the many is inaccurate. Go to Realclearpolitics.com to see all the many polls averaged for a better indication of what's really happening.

Hey Patti of Atlanta. Thank you for calling Mormons a cult. The early Christian Church was also called a cult at the time of Christ. I guess that could be considered a compliment.
By the way, were you at the Southern Baptist Convention's anti-Mormon rally in Salt Lake City in 1998 also, where Huckabee was reported to have been one of the keynotes speakers? Oh! Also, have you ever attempted to feel how sharp the horns are on Donny and Marie Osmond? Or how about Gladys Knight's?
(Maybe the rest of our country should pray that paranoid dupes like you be raptured into a corner of the room of the voting booth during the elections, so that only intellegent people will be allowed to vote!!!)

On December 11th 2007 Jack Cafferty, you say GOP "looking for inspiration". Nine days have gone by and now December 20th 2007 the GOP is still looking:

Anyone can see the stark contrast in the two parties. The Democratic nomination is nationally wrapped up if you just ignore the EARLY states which is pre-2007 wisdom!!! SUPER DUPER TUESDAY will decide the nominee Hillary Clinton.

The Republicans are still looking with no leading candidate in sight three weeks before IOWA that pundits / analysts say DECIDES the nominee…

After the 2006 midterm election, I think Hillary couldn’t choose a more perfect year to run for president. The whole country is now leaning toward Democrats. People are just so unhappy and fed up with the Republican Party which has controlled the country for almost 8 years now. Any Democrats (yes even Hillary) has better chance to win 2008 presidency than any republican.

I don’t see all these unhappy Americans who clearly want a change in direction in 2006 would vote for another republican again over Hillary.

In 2006, we all saw a lot of good republicans lost their seats to some never-heard-before Democrats because of this effect.

Go Hillary44 08! http://hillaryis44.org/

Romney has the qualities we need in our president after so much sleeze (Clinton) and poor decision making (Bush)!

I clearly agree with Romney on the issue of pardons. Let the Judges Judge and the Governors Govern! Who was running Arkansas while Huck was pouring over 1000+ legal cases? Or was he not researching those life and death cases? This work is much better suited for attorneys and judges…it is the law by the way. If you want to be cleared of past crimes, TAKE YOUR CASE TO A JUDGE! Governors should be Governing! Romney did just that!

Patti -

Thank you for your insightful and comical input. I find it astounding that one can be so ignorant and bigoted ALL in one post. Your post lends creditability to your IQ (negative correlation).

This is the twentith century. Wasn't religious freedom granted hundreds of years ago?

I am personally glad you won't be voting for Mitt. Wouldn't want to count you as someone in my party with that view point.

LDS has obviously cast a witchcraft spell on the USA. Wake up people…this man is a cult leader!

Hey, what about 9/11…?

9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11

c'mon people

There is not a better candidate! Mitt is the perfect guy for:

Economics
education
illegal immigration
taxes
Streamlining government
SMARTS!

Romney 2008

Hey Mike, from Charlotte: Why did you ask 5 questions about how the poll was conducted if, by the way, polls are so freakin' worthless?

Giuliani is finally being seen for the Snake-Oil Salesman he surely is at last.

Take that Huck! Your run for Senior Class President may be coming to an end. Mr. Nice Guy only carries the day for so long.

I have always said that as more and more people became familiar with Romney's long line of impressive accomplishments (in business, as governor and with the Olympics, his character, his leadership style, and his ability to bring people together to tackle big problems….as people came to understand how he is a PROVEN LEADER, that they would gradually gravitate toward his campaign.

People love to attack how much money he has spent, but let's be honest. He didn't start out of the gate with all the name recognition that Giuliani or McCain did. He didn't start out already in bed with the Christian Conservatives. He *had* to spend money to get his point across. The other thing you have to ask yourself is this. If so many people have contributed because they think he's best equipped to lead this nation, what is he supposed to do with the money? They expect him to spend it to win and that's what he's doing.
VOTE ROMNEY - THE CLEAR CHOICE WHEN IT COMES TO PROVEN LEADERSHIP

Why is it such a problem for Romney to be a Mormon and a huge discussion is made about it, but there is NO MENTION THAT HARRY REID IS A MORMON???

It's such a sad statement for our nation that "christians" are falling for a wolf in sheep's clothing. Ewwwwwwwwwwww!
Remember that Hitler was a Christian and also believed he was doing the work of God- history repeats itself.

i am ashamed to call myself a republican in this election. why? because the republican party and media are ignoring the only real candidate who can win. Romney. People can't get over the fact that mormons were polygamists over 150 years ago, back when we still allowed slavery, and thus refuse to acknowledge his supreme leadership, knowledge, skill, and diplomacy. It is disgusting the double standard to which he is being held. His private life matters, but Guiliani's and Clinton's do not. pathetic.

Rudy/Huckabee will win because of others continued blind stupidity.

So where's the other 18%?

Only Polls worth looking at are Exit Polls. Only when you poll everyone exiting.

It is time for a strong third party to emerge. The GOP will give us either a Giuliani, Romney or Huckabee while the Dems will put forth another Clinton or Barrack? They can't be serious. The citizens of this country contribute $100's of millions to the parties and this is what we get to choose from.
Na, something doesn't smell right….the party machinery on both sides are way too comfortable. It is time to shake things up by adding some competition!

Mitt Romney would be the best thing that could happen to his country economically. He is a financiail and business genius and if anyone can stream line government and get control of spending and taxes it would be him.

He has done remarkable things that astound even the most capable economic experts.

Vote ROMNEY 2008 and we will still be able to afford to live in America!

Well, this shouldn't come as any great surprise since his positions are a lot more towards a moderate level that most people could support. I don't think that I would vote for him any way.

It was only a matter of time. Giuliani was only the front runner because of name recognition. Now tha people have gotten to know Mitt Romney, it is obvious he is the superior choice. The man is smart, hard working, conservative, a financial wizard, and a brilliant administrator. Just the kind of person the country needs to lead us forward, and just the kind of guy the GOP needs to unite its divided members. I'm voting for Mitt.

Go Romney!!! Your the leader we need!

Go Romney!

GO MITT!!!
GO MITT!!!
GO MITT!!!
GO MITT!!!

The phony "hero" (9-11 Rudy) loses out to the man with the perfect hair.
Mitt is an empty suit, with no scruples and core beliefs other than his desire to be President and use that as a ticket to go to heaven as a god on some planet that he can populate with all the wives he'll be entitled there.
Being an empty suit, where you can imagine him standing for whatever position you want him to, makes Mitt the perfect republican candidate. The only chinks in his armor are the Mormon beliefs that won't play well to the republican Christian "base" when the details of it emerge.

Huckabee exploited that to a degree. Perhaps a theocratic slug-fest is in order as the Republican Party reaps the silliness of what they have sown by injecting religion into politics, science and even our foreign affairs.

Is it a coincidence that the same day Giuliani loses his lead in national polls he ends up in the hospitial sick. I would be sick too if I ran such an inept campaign.

What's that sound? Oh, that's just Guiliani's campaign hitting the fan.

Go Mitt 2008!!

CNN so obviously favors " CERTAIN candidates."

Journalism is supposed to require total impartiality.

How about it?

As time begins to unfolds, Mitt will most probably continue to shine. He is the most talented of the pack. His business genius will be needed for our country and the economy in the near future. The American people are finally piecing things together in this regard. He will be tough on crime, terrorism and illegal immigration as well.
GO MITT!!!!!!!!!!

Can an LDS Bishop be elected president? Wouldn't he legally have to resign his bishopric?

Why has no one asked Romney to resign his bishopric? Isn't that unconstitutional?

Way to go Hillary. Continue kicking butt.

People, polls and pundits have unfairly exaggerated thyew importance of the IOWA caucuse results. Super Tuesday is all that matters. Why do all the pollsters behave as if 2008 cycle is like any other? It is NOT. Super Tueesday is different this time and organization and money will matter.

Hillary has BOTH on her side and she is doing well nationally so GO HILLARY!

Rudy needs to go the way of Sam Brownback and Tom Tancredo. He has no business running for president.

Obviously, Guiliani didn't say he loved Jesus often enough for the Bible-thumping Repubs. LOL!

This, combined with his lack of media attention recently, probably shows that once again Giuliani has lost interest a political race; just has he did when running again Clinton for the Senate in 2000.

Woot! Hooray for Mitt! I knew Giuliani couldn't do that well forever!
