"McCain captured 41 percent of Democrats who voted in the Republican primary"

I've said it all along, if the Republicans nominate McCain, the DNC might just decide to save their money and not nominate anyone. Since the republicans will have nominated their "favorite son" for them.

It took awhile for Huckabee's nastiness and judgmental comments about Mitt's PERSONAL faith to wear off, but it's happening. Why does no one dig on anyone elses personal faith in this race?

Mitt is worth looking into, people. Just lay your prejudices aside and check him out. He is truly worthy of and able to do the job.

If you want a good example of a candidates character, look into their marriage. Wow, now THAT is a bumpy road to travel with all of them but Mitt and Obama!

_______
IS we, Seam?

Are you serious? You call yourselves journalists? Report what we all saw – Romney took McCain to the woodshed!

Of course McCain got more votes from Democrats. Half of his bills are co-written with their party leaders. He's no conservative. War hero? Fine, but conservative and ready to lead this great nation? Not a chance!

I think Mitt puts it perfectly, you can't change Washington simply be sending the same people back in different chairs. McCain has been there for 24 years and what *good* legislation has he been involved in? NOTHING! Goodness sakes, we don't have another 24 years for him to pass one or two questionable pieces of legislation. We need someone like Romney who has proven time and time again that he can roll up his sleeves, tackle a big problem, and deliver results.

I thought I might vote for Huckabee, too, early on in this process, but once I saw him lie about not knowing what Mormons believe, that was over! (what Baptist preacher doesn't know about Mormons???! They teach classes on what they think Mormons believe!! He was a speaker at the big Baptist convention several years ago they held in the middle of Mormon country–Salt Lake City. That was an out and out lie and I lost all respect for him at that point.)

And, he takes cheap jabs and shots at Romney and disrespects him for getting an excellent education (while Huckabee dropped out of his post graduate theology pursuit), using his ingenuity to create jobs and earn $$ in the real world, private sector and making $$ in the American way! Huckabee cries negative on Romney when his ads were COMPARING himself with Huck and McCain, BUT Huck is ALWAYS making negative and RUDE, snide remarks about Romney. AND........the media turns their head!!!!

The media is manipulating politics with their "love affairs" with certain candidates. I can tell you, we've had one recent "down home" politician and I have not been thrilled with that type, so I'm voting well educated, intelligent and statesmanlike!

Go Mitt!!

Go Mitt!

If you think that showing somebody voted for increasing PUBLIC funding of abortions is a personal attack, you ain't seen nothing yet!

That "Vietnam Vets" group that attacked Kerry has already ran massive attack ads against McCain. Did you happen to see the attack ads Karl Rove orchestrated against McCain's family in the 2000 primary??

McCain spoke out against the swiftboaters when they were trying to railroad Kerry, It's time that WE ALL STOOD UP to such lunatics that blast people with lies and personal attacks.

The quality of our elected representatitives is directly related to the collective quality of we "the people" who vote for them. People complain about how all politicians are "liars and crooks", yet they vote for the people who promise them the most "stuff" without having to pay for it. Time after time after time, whoever promises to give YOU THE MOST FOR "FREE", get's the vote.

It's the fault of the people, not the politicians.

"Why is FoxNew's Rupert Murdock a Hillary fundraiser?"

Please someone answer this question for me. Does it not bother anyone else?

People don't want to take their time to go to vote and then have to check "uncommitted." The reason that Hillary's "win" in MI is "meaningless" is because many people voted for her because she was the only person listed. Some people probably don't follow politics enough to know that they were suppose to check "uncommitted" if they supported Obama or Edwards. Of course, true Hillary supporters did vote for her, but many other people checked her name simply because it was there.

"Romney provided taxpayer-funded abortions. Romney signed legislation in 2006 that increased funding for taxpayer-subsidized abortions."

Does John McCain really think Mitt supports killing innocent babies? I don’t think so….so why send out these postcards?

Romney is so anti-abortion it hurts! He always has been and always will be. As Governor he did not change existing laws allowing abortions, but that does not make him pro-Choice. He just allowed people their own terrible choices under the existing law.

Mitt has not flipped, he will not flop! Romney 2008

Clinton 328, 151
Uncommitted 236, 728
Kunich 21,708
Dodd 3,853
Gravel 2,363
TOTAL 592,798

According to exit polls Obama got 73 percent of the African American uncommitted votes, that would total 172,811.44 votes for Obama

Edwards would then receive the remaining 63,916.56

Therefore the real percentage of the vote is THE FOLLOWING:

Clinton 328,151.00 —— 55.0%
Obama 172,811.44 —— 29.1%
Edwards 63,916.56 —— 10.7%
Kunich 21,708 ———- 4%
Dodd 3853 ————1%
Gravel 2363 ———– 0%

Not only is Hillary a winner, she beats Obama by 26%.

That being said it is about time that the US started taking some of it's considerable clout and started using it to address the inequitable trade with our supposed trade partners as well as the questionable practices of China. As it stands the US automotive industry is at a significant disadvantage when it comes to exporting cars to countries like Japan even though there are plenty of cars that meet their standards (The Japanese use very protectionist means even though we welcome their cars with open arms).

Anyhow, the fact that Democrats voted for McCain speaks volumes as to the fact that he is the least of the Republican candidates to get the nomination due mostly to the fact that he always seems to be having an identity crisis as to what he stands for. Not to mention the ease with which he is able to cast aside his supposed values given the opportunity to co-sponsor bills with some of the most left leaning Democrats available. Working across the aisle is great as long as it doesn't involve the likes of Kennedy and Feingold.

But don't worry. His mother is a vibrant 95 year old tough cookie.
He may well outlive many of us.

Also, I hope that people realize we DON'T need an jokester/entertainer in the White House.....we need an INTELLIGENT LEADER! We don't need a pulpit preaching president.......we need God fearing LEADER who respects ALL , religions and doesn't have to grab a pulpit to get him elected.

I believe there are good points in all of the candidates, Dem and Rep. Let's choose on qualifications not on the opinions of the media or how funny they are!

McCain is an absolute fossil. The guy represents the 'old world' of politics: pure military strength.

I couldn't have said it better myself. When are Americans gonna wake up? Hopefully before it's too late.

ROMNEY IN 2008...

60 trillion in debt. the dollar is dropping like a stone. China (a communist ) has our paper and makes everything! Gold is about 900 an ounce oil around 100 our Financial system is totally confused. The crooks on Wall Stree and the Feds (Greenspan) gave us BAD LOANS (not sub prime) the average person is in debt.

The thing that is amazing they have a candidate that says he knows nothing about Economics, you can find 20 quotes in the last 3 months, where he admits it. The man is a Senator and has no clue about economics or how We got in this mess. Mr MCain said he would read "Greenspans book and have a running mate that understands economics" how did he vote on these issues for the last 25 years?

The American people that have had hard times are going to elect John McCain that knows nothing about Economis. The good news is neither did Greenspan.

We spend 3 trillion dollars to maintain a Military in 700 bases and in 135 Countries and Senator McCain says he wants to be in Iraq for a 100 years what does that cost??? and we have proven we went their with no justification, no (WMDs ) but now everyone forgets about that.

Keeping the Empire is more important than financial security for your Families?.

People you deserve a President that has no idea aobut the economy

I remember a time when a party was so desperate to win that the best candidate they could find was a guy who flipped on so many issues he couldn't remember what he stood for. O yeah that was four years ago with John Kerry, how did he do again in the general election? Please elect Mitt Romney.

A democrat

Mitt Romney is so right for this job that it makes the liberal media shake that they won't get their Democrat in the White House. Republicans and Independents just need to LISTEN to him, LISTEN to his plans, SEE his Integrity.

How Pitiful this is for CNN to cast such a dirty shadow on Mitt's victory in Michigan and to completely disregard his Wyoming win – CNN didn't even mention it and says that Michigan is his FIRST win.

When Huckabee won Iowa, CNN didn't say, "But what does THAT mean".
When McCain won NH, CNN didn't say, "But what does THAT mean."

This title 'Dem's pick McCain over Romney' is so lame and irrelevant.

CNN, you are extremely transparant.

Poor Barack Obama. He really was that little "uncommitted " line on the ballots, wasn't he?

Anne, why so glum? Obama could have campaigned in Michigan. Obama could have had his name on the ballot. Obama chose not to do either. In his mind, Michigan didnt matter since the state had been stripped of its primary delegates. So you can weep into your Wheaties all you want, but the trutch is Obama wasnt on that ballot because he chose not to be.
