Ty, It can't get much worse than it is now..

1. our country is at war, and our military is over-extended
2. our president absolutely refuses to listen to reason and is now trying to pick a fight with Iran, despite the NIE proving that Iran gave up its nuclear weapons program in 2003.
3. our country is in debt up to its eyeballs
4. the economy is about to take a dive due to the housing bubble created by Bush's big idea to spark the economy by having the fed lower rates too low for too long.
5. the world opinion of our country has never been worse

THE ONLY REAL REPUBLICAN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IS RON PAUL !!!!!!!

Support Ron Paul for president 2008!

I'm sick of the McCain-loving media rhetoric, painting McCain as the "real" candidate, the "straight-talker" and Romney as the "fake", the "phony", "pandering" to voters. It is absolute hogwash! Romney is the most real and capable candidate, and that fact has the media and the dems scarred stiff. Romney can win this thing. McCain has flip-flopped numerous times, he even flip-flopped on his first wife. I know it is almost taboo to talk about but nothing tells more about a person's character than his personal life. There is no way Romney could have raised a cohesive and well-adjusted family like his if he was an immoral person.

Romney is definitely the most "like" Bush candidate you could ask for.

Go Romney Go!

Looking forward to celebrating General Robert E. Lee's birthday on Saturday the 19th with a victory for Ron Paul in South Carolina.

Only two candidates for the conservatives know enough about history to get the vote in South Carolina and Ron Paul is one of them. Even though he is from North of the Mason-Dixon Line, he is fully aware of the 10th Amendment and that the South was denied its right to secession.

Those who attack Dixie will not win!

Ty: "If you vote a Democrat into office there's going to be TERROR!! TERROR TERROR TERROR! 9/11! You don't want TERROR 9/11 AL QUEDA TERROR TERROR TERROR do you?!!?!?"

I'm voting DEMOCRAT not so much because I'm enthusiastic about their ideas, so much as that I'm enthusiastically AGAINST the Republicans - both the double-digit-IQ'd trailer park variety such as Ty here, as well as the criminal Rovian ones who take advantage of group A's ignorance in order to line their pockets. As Ty demonstrates, this administration's fear mongering only really affects the weak minded, ignorant, and delusional, as much as they'd like to think otherwise.

And regarding the economy. I don't know if the Democrats will be anymore helpful than the Republicans have been, but one thing's for certain - they certainly can't be any more destructive than the Republicans have been over the past eight years.

Well CNN did no better yesterday; they had Fred Thompson on a couple times, kept saying he finished a strong "4th last night" when he was a distant 5th, behind Ron Paul.

So far Americans say they want change, meanwhile they're voting for the status quo: in Iowa they went for the man of faith in Huckabee; in New Hampshire, where people are apparently against the war, voted for warmonger McCain and then in Michigan, where those jobs will never come back, it was all wishful thinking as they voted for the guy who promised the most with the biggest smile on his face in Mitt Romney.

Americans clearly do not have the proper skills at discerning who is right for this moment in time. The best and most intelligent candidates are either out of the race or on the fringes while we remain undecided about our status quo ones who are curiously all sounding more alike everyday. The 2006 vote was about getting out of Iraq and now the Democrats left in the race will leave troops here and there and everywhere, won't shut down the bases, won't abandon the huge and wasteful billion dollar embassy in Iraq that's the size of the Vatican.

As long as we remain in denial about the fact that it's our meddling in the Middle East that has caused us all these problems, the longer we'll remain vulnerable to terrorism.

I hope mitt wins so obama can destroy him in the general election.

Angela, I will vote for a mormon. You won't vote for Romney just because he is a mormon. Do you know how narrow minded and ignorant that shows you?

You vote for a candidate for his leadership skill, his experience of solving problems, will he be able to lead this country forward? Does he know how to create new jobs? Does he have experience of governing a state? Is he intelligent? How much education does he have? Is he a moral person. Those are the questions you need to focus on, not because he is a mormon.

Romney turned the corrupted olympic around in 2002, he helped many struggling business became profitable, he governed the state of MA, he is extremely intelligent. He graduated from Harvard with a doctorate degree and he received his master degree with honor also from Harvard, and he is the only man in the republican party that has one wife. Don't all these tell you something about a person?

None of other candidates has all these qualities. Mccain, Rudy, Fred Thompson, Hillary, obama, and John Edward has never beeno governing a state. Huckabee had that experience, but no experience with the business sector. I can go on and on, but my point is Romney is the most qualify candidate out there.

Go Romney, I will vote for a mormon.

Go Mitt...next Nevada!

I don't understand how someone can be so involved in US politics to go to the trouble of posting blogs on CNN political ticker and think that Mitt Romney is fit to run our country. Brainwashed, that's all I can come up with.

Romney probably confused them when he showed up to speak looking like a regular candidate instead of one of the guys setting in an Ivory Tower spinning gold. It was the first time I can remember seeing him where every hair was not superglued in place. He looked human instead of like a Ken-doll, I was pleasantly surprised.

"And since the Democratic candidate will win in November, why should any of us Democrats care squat about YOUR opinion????"

I can't wait to have a Democratic candidate in the White House. When it happens, all your delusional Democratic(liberal, left-wing, sissy) eyes will be opened. Not only will the US be attacked by terrorists again, the president will drive our country into the ground. It will be worse off than it is now.

didn't the Michigan DNC "punish" the candidates by denying them the delegates? Why would anyone diss the RNC for this mistake, when the Democrats did something deliberate?

'just pushed the wrong button'? Is this the GOP which currently holds the White House? Good Grief!

Romney is only for the people insofar as he will say anything to the people that he thinks will get him elected. If Kerry was a "flip-flopper", Romney must have a broken back!

Adam
That's about as dumb as it gets!Non-voting won't change a single thing either.Some one will get elected and the machine will roll along anyway.True it sucks and no matter what the candidates say,especially Obama the con artist,none of them will be allowed to change it either.The machine's main task is to protect itself at all costs and it will crush anyone tht tries to stop it.

The only way to stop corporate america and it's political hacks, hort of armed innsurrection is to stop consumer spending on a grand scale.Look at the fear the government,the banks and the rest of corporate america is feeling right now.The economy is headed toward a recession and they are so desperate to stop it that they are willing to sell out to foreign governments to bring cash into the economy so people will start spending again.If we all just stop spending corporate america can be brought to its knees.They're trying desperately to figure out how to get us to start spending again.

Vote for the person you think will do the least harm to us,our country and our freedom and just keep your wallet closed.Money is the only thing they understand.It's their lifes blood and they are desperate when they don't have lots of it.Sure we'll suffer but they will suffer worse.They will weaken.They will lose power and they will die.APRIL 15TH SHOULD BE TAX REVOLT DAY FOR OUR WHOLE COUNTRY!We should en masse withold every penny from the gvernment,live with 3 cell phones instad of six,watch your 27" flat scren tv instead of getting the new jumbotron for the living room.Syop driving whenever you can.They are already in a panic so now would be a perfect time to cutoff our spending.They'll have to stop spending on pork barrel items and stop spending a billion dollars every day in I raq while people lose their homes and savings.

Mitt great Victory and keep pushing forward. Your tenacity coupled with your constant optimism is what our Country needs right now. I can't take Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi Sanfransisco values.l They are killing our fabric of our Country!
Mitt Romney in 2008!

Mitt Romney great man and even greater leader! He inspires me and my family to be better Americans. I will always be thankfull for Mitt and his family putting themselves out their to make America an even safer and more prosperous nation.
Every time I see his family at an event I think of the stress and lack of privacy that they endure. They are just great people who deserve our respect regardless of where you may stand on the issues!

What a surprise! The Republicans are idiots!

Gee, why am I NOT surprised????????

Maybe God was behind it............

Read my lips. Does anyone really believe the politikers around election time? They have teams of people working to learn what just might get their candidate elected. For me, I look to see just what they really did, in their positions, three or more years back. What they did, counts. What they espouse, is mere conjecture, to get elected.

This tatic worked for Geo. Bush in 2000, they just pulled out the old standby trick

oops. My bad. Pressed the wrong button. We didn't actually want Mitt.

Just more proof that the liberal media is in support of the more liberal republican candidates. GO MITT

All those who like to call Romney a flip-flopper are just using name calling out of convenience. It doesn't take a lot of independent thought to just repeat incorrect information that people like to use to try and make him appear something he is not. He has been open about his change on the ABORTION issue. He changed his position on what the role of government should be. He was always personally pro-life and vetoed legislation that would have expanded abortion rights and provided funding for it . He has never changed his position on GAY MARRIAGE. He was always a strong advocate against discrimination, but he also made one of the boldest stands in the country against gay marriage in Mass. Besides turning around the economy as governor, he made similar stands against immigration and terrorism. His campaign message has been consistent with his record as governor. You don't have to like him and you don't have to vote for him, but to call him a flip-flopper is simply a false characterization.

It looks more and more like Romney will be President. Democratic candidates are all a joke – compare their resumes to that one of Mitt or McCain. The Dems are like 5th graders!
What my concern is, however, is that Romney talks for educated adults, while others seem to pander to a common Joe. That's no way to win a primary, let alone general election. Dumb things down a little, Mitt!

Brother Mitt appears to have fallen into the belief that you can buy anything in this world for money.

Now where have I heard that before…?

Mitt Romney and McCain, EWWW!

RON PAUL 2008!

Romney is only man with the experience, skills, leadership, and morals to get the job done. He has more delegates and popular vote by a huge lead than any other candidate. He will continue to roll and will become the nominee. He is the only one who is competitive in all states and campaigns in all states- not cherry picking. You are the man, Mitt. We support you overseas!

Romney/Thompson 2008!

Reps its time to be realistic at who can win in November. McCain's ties to Bush and the war, not to mention lack of economic understanding, disqualify him. Huckabee the minister, enough said. ROMNEY is our clear candidate!!! The longer the media and Dems deter us from this conclusion, the better the chances Hillary or Obama have in November.
We need to get behind our candidate now and build momentum for a victory in November!
GO MITT, GO!!! GO MITT, GO!!!

LETS GO GOP, GET BEHIND THE BEST CANDIDATE NOW!

It's nice to know that "Ken" has a future; especially since he left "Barbie" and the rest of the gang.

Is it possible to get a candidate who doesn't look like an actor? Take a look at Romney's business record. While he has an impressive record as Governor, I am more concerned about his past as a corporate raider. These are the people who purchase a company, sell off the better parts of the company and then increase the unemployment in the area. I'm sure that when he was purchasing companies that he didn't care about the number of unemployed workers after he left town with money in his pocket.

We need a candidate of substance, not one who "looks pretty." Do we even have someone of substance?

Do the people of Michigan have such a short memory. Do they not remember George Romney? I was there and remember how the auto industry was ravaged.
Do you not blame Romney for the economy during that time. I do and will never forger.

Why do you even print anything that idiot has to say. Are you happy with the way
his and Bush's policies have devestated this country?
Let him fade away until history tells his tale.

Just so you know, if you happen to mention that Romney and every other leading candidate on both sides has taken millions of dollars from companies like big oil, big tobacco, the health care industry, and lots of others that don't have your interests in mind. This is NOT a fair election, we are being told which puppets we have to choose from, anyone who took less than a million in special interest cash is all but gone from the race (Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich). Don't vote, Don't fund these groups with your tax dollars, we must demand change. If we have the same farce of an election with the same criminals we will get the same results.

whats a GOP???

Today, the following businessmen from Arkansas released a statement in support of former Arkansas Governor, Mike Huckabee: Scott T. Ford, President and CEO, Alltel Corporation; Warren A. Stephens, President and CEO, Stephens Inc.; Madison Murphy, Former Chairman, Murphy Oil Corporation; John Tyson, Chairman of the Board, Tyson Foods, Inc; and French Hill, Chairman and CEO, Delta Trust and Banking Corporation:

"We are a traditionally bi-partisan group of executives of several of the largest corporations headquartered in the State of Arkansas, each with considerable exposure to the Administration of Governor Mike Huckabee. Of late, Governor Huckabee has attracted what we believe to be unwarranted criticism regarding his business record."

"Our experience with Governor Huckabee indicates that he not only values greatly the freedoms of religion and liberty, but of the free market as well. He is an atypical leader who garnered the respect of not only the professional business community but of the working men and women across our State as well."

"When he became our Governor, he inherited our long sub-standard education system, infrastructure, and regulatory climate. Under his leadership, we were able to grow our businesses, increase our employment, reduce our litigation exposure and enjoy, along with all of our fellow Arkansans, a healthier economy, improved schools, updated highways, and new healthcare delivery facilities."

"In our support of Governor Huckabee's truly conservative, small government business outlook and his pragmatic, yet compassionate style of governing, we invite you to look past the shallow rhetoric of yet another campaign season to see what we have experienced first hand – that with the right political leadership in place, businesses and citizens can jointly prosper and as they do, they contribute so much more to the economic and societal fabric of a community than simply tax revenues."

I can't wait for President Mitt... and Vice-President Glove.

sometime back, Mitt Romney accused rival Mike Huckabee of “channeling John Edwards”.
DOES Mitt knows what “channeling” means? WAKE UP people….This is a “new age” speaking.
A “real” Christian will not use this wording.
But then again, out of the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaketh.

I wouldn't even buy a used car from this guy let alone let him run the country! isn't eight years enough for you people? do you want to totally bury the economy like the 12 years of reagan/daddy bush? i think fondly back to the days of 11-1/2% mortgage rates....NOT!

go ANYONE but MITT, MCCAIN, HUCKABEE OR HOWDY DOODY.....

Once again, the GOP proves how utterly wrong they can be. During the last seven years, they've proven how incredibly proficient they've become at being wrong. If you look up 'wrong' in the dictionary, you'll see GOP. I suppport their unending goal and tireless efforts at being wrong. I just wish that they weren't ruining the country and the economy while they're so busy being wrong.

Mitt for President!!!!!!!!!!

I know I don't want a flip flopper and I put Huckabee in that list. He seems to change what he would do now compared to what he did as Governor of Arkansas. He has a bunch of one liners and I don't want a President that tries to be Leno or David Letterman. He has flip flopped on passing a bill about smoking. I don't think he should be "preaching" about Romney changing his mind. WHO HASN;'T CHANGED THEIR MINDS IN THEIR LIFETIME. If you haven't , then you should ascend to Heaven right now–because you are perfect.
I respect Mitt Romney and believe he would be the best for President of our country. People should do a little research. He wasn't handed over wealth. He got an education and used that education to build a company and used his head to take over bad companies and bring them back from bankruptcy. Has any of the other candidates done that? He turned the 2002 Olympics into the best , without any debt , than any other Olympics. He brought it back from deep problems and in debt. He has accomplished more than any other candidate out there. And I think those that call him names and so forth should look at the real facts instead of following people who say and write things just to get a rise from someone. Be smart and really learn about Romney . And yes he has been a Bishop and Stake president in the LDS church and he is a truthful, honest person. He didn't get any pay for the thousands of hours he served in his church. He spent as much or more time as any other minister of any other church and he also had a paying job he worked at the same time. How many of your other candidates can say that? I admire him for not bringing religion into this . He has not tried to get anyone to vote for him because of what church he belongs to. The people that support him realize he is a truthful, honest person .
The media hasn't given him much of a chance and he has still pushed forward with his campaign. He is not a quitter. He believes in what he is doing and will be honest to the people of this country.

The MI Repub party is a hoot. the gang that can't shoot straight!

Mitt does whats best and right... and his past proves that!

You can't be serious. MITT? He is at the bottom of my list. He can;t run his own state I'm moderate and can see that he is plain horrible if it came between him and Hillary I'd leave this country.

How can anyone seriously be interested in voting for this bible-thumping idiot? I mean seriously, is it not enough that we have to put up with our current leader spewing his santa-claus-for-adults crap everytime he opens his mouth? Now you freaks want to put in someone who seriously believes that JC visited the states on a world-wide speaking tour or some crap. How can you guys take him seriously? At least with Christians you usually have someone who just pays lip-service to a religion, but a true Mormon (Romney) WILL obey his church leaders.

You people will never learn.

Did anyone in the media catch the Romney lie today? Romney knows he will lose in South Carolina, which explains why he runs to Nevada, but anyways, he made the argument today that he "was running in fourth in South Carolina", trying to limit expectations. There isn't ONE poll of South Carolina that has Romney in fourth. EVERY SINGLE ONE has Romney in third, without exception. So, Romney, who is running ads again today in SC, actively campaigning, is trying to frame a drop from third as acceptable. Can someone call the chameleon???

All polls are seriously flawed. With only 1000 or so people polled to represent the opinions of over 300 MILLION Americans is an INSULT to the INTELLIGENCE of the American voters. For over 60 years the media has been FALSELY telling the American voters who they should vote for to be on the WINNING TEAM. They should be ashamed of themselves for doing such an abominable dis-service to the American Public. The voters should be ashmed of themselves for accepting such flawed polls instead of checking the candidates Bios,Qualifications, and records for themselbes. Now that we have the internet it is easier than ever to LEARN THE TRUTH. Check out what the candidate stands for on his/her website or the congressional website ( THOMAS )or the DAV website. Then you will see through all the SMOKE & MIRRIORS that the only REASONABLE candidate is Fred Thompson who has been given virtually NO COVERAGE by the media. This is not a highschool POPULARITY CONTEST for the king and queen of the prom. The future of your COUNTRY depends on you making the best choice not the most popular choice according to the media. I know it hurts for a little while but THINK PEOPLE. A few minutes of mental pain verses 4 to 8 years of physical,mental,and Financial SUFFERING and possible Complete Disaster. This is what you have to decide NOT if you will be on the WINNING TEAM. Time to GROW UP.

Agree with Sam from Lincoln, the Republican contest is irrelevant as they will lose the general election to the Democratic candidate.
How could any of you even consider voting Republican? Haven't they ruined the country for ya enough????

We cant accept 100 % Mitt Perfect but Billary is disaster ,he exp in bussines and Tancredo support him for secure the border.

Clinton NAFAT CAFTA HI B VISA was done sold out to communist china all americans jobs and bring all cheap labor to swipe middle class and bring all illegal to buying voting fraud.

and I dont want only 2 empire run this country for 100 years...bush clinton..

The Clinton believe that if you throw enough horse s h it again the wall, some of it is bound to stick .

Maybe liberals prefer a crybaby with no experience and a perverted impeached loser who tell her what to do and every political situation.She has no mind of her own only big mouth !

Romney 2008

I am so sick of the words seperation of church and state being thrown around without any true concept of the founders intent. The idea was NOT to keep religion out of government it was exactly the opposite, to keep government out of religion.

The founders had no intention of keepign religious values and concepts out of government. The whole point was to make sure governments, both Federal and state, kept out of religion. They wanted the ability to practice religious autonomy. This country was founded by a large number of people who were seeking religious freedom.

The idea that the founders were creating a government that they wanted insulated from religion is laughable. All you have to do is look at practically everything issued by the government, from money, "In God we Trust", to traditions in the Senate (that's right folks...they pray!!!).

Seperation of church and state is a phrase that has been misinterpreted and bastardized for decades.

Huckabee wants a Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. That is a democratic political dirty trick and he claims to be a Republicam. Clinton used the abortion issue to defeat george H. W. Bush. Both issues are Organized Religion PRACTICE issues and are expressly forbidden to have laws passed concerning these PRACTICES by the U.S.Constitution.
Organized religion interprets statements made by Moses and Saul of Tarsis ( PAUL )as saying that these are ABOMINATIONS to God. The Egyptians taught(MOSES) that eating dinner with a shepherd was an ABOMINATION, NOT a sin. An ABOMINATION is something DISTASTEFUL, NOT a sin. JESUS whom Huckabee claims to be dedicating his life to never condemned Gays or Abortion so he is not teaching the doctrine of JESUS nor are any of the other churches that condemn GAYS. If the churches didn't forbid all forms of contraception, Abortion wouldn't be an issue either.It's just another RUSE/TRICK by the Democrats to show the Republicans in a bad light.

Workm13p, not true at all about the characterization of Mitt's SERVING in his church vs. Huckabee's JOB as a pastor. Think about it.

Who would even consider voting for a devout Mormon?

Some of you people are vicious! This is a mistake anyone could make and has NO bearing on how the GOP candidate would run the country. Until we can look past these small errors our country will never make progress on what really matters.

Who said you can't buy an elaction? Only 20% of the total registered voters in michigan came out to vote compared to virtually all of the voters in New Hampshire. Romneys' arguments about what is wrong with washington; that it is broken and needs " CHANGE " sounds more like a Democratic cabdidates'Retoric than the Positive and Logical conservative presentations of a Republican like Fred Thompson. The Michigan voters should be ashamed of themselves for swallowing such drivell. Do they expect him to come up with a "MAGIC PILL" to solve their problems which they themselves are responsible for? When the workers bought one of the big companies and threw out the corrupt management making it worker owned and went from being in the red to being in the black in one year, I thought they finally had a handle on the cause of their problems. Apparently NOT since they must have given themselves UNREASONABLE raises and dividends causing a rise in the cost of steel and the cost of parts made by smaller companies wanting to keep pace. A car that retailed for $ 2000 dollars in 1974 now costs $24000 an increase of 1200 percent in only 33 years compared to an increase of 500 percent in the previous 40 years.Romneys' record like those of the Democrats shows that his solution is to spend more money on programs that won't work and haven't worked for the past 57 years.Will he be spending his money like he has been to get elacted? NO! He will be spending YOUR MONEY just like the Democrats will and have in the past.Amnesty for illegal immigrants who will pay a fine? Won't that open the door for more illegal immigrants from every country who have the money to pay the fine and bypass the current immigration law? Of course it will causing an unsustainable drain on the social security and welfare systems as well as the healthcare and school systems.Can't you see that these programs proposed by Romney,( Juliani another democrat) and the Democratic candidates are all related ? This is NOT a GAME as many commentators would have you believe. Just count the number of times it is referred to as a game during one broadcast.They are predicting the winners with no concern for the losers."So what?, you ask." The real losers will be ("YOU").

Why does it matter which Republican won the Michigan primary? Romney is a flip flopper and McCain has become a Bush bootlicker. It matters not which one of them wins the Republican nomination because they're both irrelevant and out of touch. Come this November one of them will be losing to a Democrat.

Well sure, the GOP already has the results decided, regardless of the election, like usual.

Typical politician... Say anything, do anything, lie to anyone... Just get elected.

Romney has now changed his Michigan pledge of "Saving their economy" with the new pledge across the south of "I'll save the economy of the south..."

Riding in on his white horse to single-handedly save the US economy is Mitt Romney. What exactly will Romney do to save all of these jobs? Single handedly purchase more cars?

I'd have no problem if he won Michigan squarely on the issues. But to flat out lie and pull out all the stops – AND THEN try and pull this same BS across the south is just a flat joke.

Get a real message.

The more I study and listen to all the Repbulican candidates, the more
Mitt Romney stands out. I can't imagine America run by McCain or Huckerbee.
Maybe Juliani is ok, but he lacks business experience.
America will be much better with Mitt Romney at the White House.
Go Mitt!

Goldarn republicans-always pushing the wrong buttons...

Mitt talks sense. He is the only one I will vote for. If McCain gets the Republican nomination, I will not be able to vote this time. I will have to hope for a third party, I guess. Why won't the press give Mitt credit. He is doing fantastic!!!!!!

Congrats Sir Mitt, from a sunny South Africa. We are rooting for you.

Regards

Andrew

Congratulations to Romney on his win!!!
I really hope we can elect a strong businessman to turn around this country and the economy. I am just not sure that an actor, preacher or veteran can do it. i don't think that someone riding their husbands political coat tails or a newbie politician can either!! The only other possibility other than Romney is if Bloomberg enters the race!!

This reminds me of that Mike Huckabee campaign guy that said he supported Ron Paul.

On CNN's website it show that Romney won 22 delegates and McCain with only 5..Is this an error or what is up with that..At 30 and 39 percent that makes little since!

I can't imagine having McCain as President. He is a great war hero for sure. But, he has a heck of temper, and throws the "F" bomb out at those he opposes.

In my opinion, Romney has great leadership and communication skills. He is intelligent, and he works to solve problems based on the data at hand.

He's got my vote for sure.

Let's see the difference here. You have a paid minister (Huckabee) and a volunteer unpaid Bishop/Stake President (Romney). Both give considerable time and attention to their "calling", but one practices priestcraft and the other is lay leader. One has to please the people or they take money from his pocket, and the other has to please God with no pocketbook attachments. One position is sought after and the other is appointed.

But you right, none of this matters. I just wanted to point out a few of the differences.

I agree with the person who said it was SAD that in America people get "bashed" for getting a great education in a varied background, used his ingenuity to live the American dream and made his own $$. He DID follow through with lowering unemployment and balancing MA's budget in addition to turning around NEGATIVE situations in companies and the Olympics.

And then, VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT PAY he has given hours and hours of service to his church. Those bishops and stake presidents do NOT aspire to those positions and do NOT receive a paycheck for them. Romney does NOT grab a pulpit and start preaching as someone else does trying to get his votes for free based on religion! I am very religious but I do NOT want someone who is trying to get elected by being a pulpit-preaching candidate! I want a God-fearing man who respects ALL religions in this country and outside. Huck has shown little respect for Mitt's religion and his success in real business world. I hope people can see these aspects of Huckabee's strategy! McCain is right on the bandwagon, too!

Election 101

This source should be required curriculum for all candidates. It is being taught be Mitt Romney. I assure you, after the smoke dies everyone will be looking at Pres. Romney and enrolling, but the testing center will closed. The final exam scores will already have been posted.

Take second place a lot, take some western 1st place states that others ignore for the glamor of the South, and voile, you have a new President.

That figures!

Republicans can't even figure out who won their own primary!

It's obvious that "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight" isn't limited to the current administration!

There won't be any country left with 4 more years of tearing down our freedom and tearing up our constitution!

Let us ALL pray that none of them actually wins unless the prize is a one way ticket to Iraq!

Obama 4 Pres

Wait until Super Tuesday. I think Huckabee will make a come back. I certainly hope so.

The media hyped McCain's New Hampshire win so that the GOP was caught believing his win in Michigan was a foregone conclusion.

Like far too many voters, the GOP looks in the direction the media points them!

Most of you folks here are missing that point.

In regards to the upcoming primaries and caucases on both sides, the trick will continue to be keeping the media from forcing its chosen darlings down the voters' throats.

In regards to Romney, it's very difficult to believe that Southern republicans will be able to get past his persona enough to vote him into the presidentcy...a persona I always see as being a cross between Eddie Haskel (from "Leave it to Beaver") and Jim Barden, that doofusy kid with the skin problem from my 3rd grade class.

It's like he's been made from a kit.

As a left-leaning independent, McCain is the only candidate who would make me cross over. I was a Republican until about the 2nd year of Bush's presidency. I am sick of what they have done to this country. Shouldn't the country be better, after 8 years of nearly unified Republican rule of the federal government? If Obama wins on the Dem side, I'll vote for him, but if Hillary does, I'm going McCain if he's the nominee.

Mitt "the Flip" Romney is a horrible choice for president. He just goes from state to state trying to make everyone happy by telling them what they want to hear, not what he really will do for them. Everyone who is downing Huckabee because he used to be a pastor guess what, Romney was a Bishop which is the Mormon equivalent of a pastor and he was even a stake president. So for those who are choosing Romney over Huckabee because he was a southern baptist pastor you are now a hypocrit because Romney had nearly the exact same position in the Mormon church. This should not even be an issue though, and i don't know why it is. I think though that they are both inexperienced and running a state or the Olympics is not the same as a country. What is Romney going to do when faced with a real problem dealing with the war or possibly another hurricane. My guess is hide under his desk and allow his advisors to do all the work. My vote may not be obvious yet but I am a large McCain supporter because he has the experience that we need to get us through the tough times and his plans are clear and never change like "The Flips" He always tells you the honest truthful answer and doesn't lie to you to make you happy and buy your vote. In an interview Mitt said he was going to revive Michigans auto industry and make it what it was in the sixties and seventies. McCain was asked about that and he was honest with the people and declared that he would try but it would be nearly impossible to revive it back to what it used to be. So which candidate do i want, the one who makes me feel warm inside because he made me happy for the five minutes thinking that i will suddenly become a rich man without doing anything and telling me its going to be very tough, or the man who tells me that he will try and get me a job but it won't be as great as the one i had and it won't be easy. I want the one who tells me the truth even though its not a good thought but its the truth.

Gee, the Republicans have really become "the gang who couldn't shoot straight."

Its the year 2000 all over again!

Go Mitt! He's the man with the master plan! People are finally seeing past the media rhetoric and realizing how much better Mitt is for the job than anyone else!

Dang!
This is turning out to be a fun year in politics. Something new every day.
If there ain't nothing to report, someone will make something up. I love it.

I like how these so-called home-town "born and raised here" candidates get away with all this tear jerker "I care about you" stuff in Michigan. Where were they when they knew the chips were down? Folded up their tents and moved away. In Mitt Romney's case, he is a businessman who talks about jobs in America while all the while maximizing his opportunities outside of America. Not to mention his sabre-rattling about illegal immigration all the while employing a company that hires them (no doubt exploiting them in the way of substandard wages etc)

Mitt is about as slippery as they come. He is all for big business getting away with anything it can just to make a buck. I am surprised that Michigan voters fell for it.

AND BY THE WAY. STOP SAYING THAT HUCKABEE IS FOR USING TAXPAYER MONEY TO FUND SO-CALLED "ILLEGALS" HE IS FOR GIVING THEIR CHILDREN THE TOOLS TO BE PRODUCERS RATHER THAN DRAINERS OF THE ECONOMY. THESE CHILDREN DID NOT COMMIT ANY CRIME. THEY DESERVE THE RIGHT TO GO TO SCHOOL AND BE TREATED AS HUMAN BEINGS.

Ya Mitt the economy is bad so the right wingers need you to come in and administer the last rights to the middle class. A waffler like you should be able to do that with ease. Vote Romney is a final dagger to the hard working people of this country.

Indeed, it was a mistake that Mitt Romney won. It is a mistake for the GOP and a mistake by the voters. Why does anybody not think it is unacceptable that someone can buy their way into the White House? This is scary.

It was no mistake. When McCain runs for President, Michigan will vote for him.

Only the sheep in Michigan voted for Romney-you know, they think he's one of them. Surprise – 'Rich Boy Romney" doesn't care whether you have jobs or not.

Oops. The GOP got started early this time. Practicing for November?

Wake up everyone. All the polls which show head to head match ups against any Dems, show Mitt losing bad. A vote for flip flop Mitt is a vote for the Dems!

I really hoped that the Mac would strike again, not because I thought he had a chance of winning the election and not because he would be a gourmet feast for Democrats who would easily trump him and the Republicans, but because he has more integrity than Mitt Romney. No, I do not hate Mormons but what does the man really stand for? Is he against universal health care or against? Is he for gay rights or not? Is he for abortion or not? I am afraid that he is as sick and twisted as Aaron Burr because he will change his beliefs on a whim. This is not strategy that I am talking but Romney radically changes with the wind and is an arrogant, pompous man who makes most other candidates look like saints. He has no integrity to stand up for what he believes in and I'm afraid as president he will make radical changes at any moment just because it's politically savvy. Please look at his record and vote for somebody who will stay firm to what he believes.

"Go Mitt, If this country lets Clinton run this country WE ARE SCREWED.
God Said, FORSAKE ME and I WILL forsake YOU.
Why do you think we are where we are. AS A COUNTRY WE Have forsaken him."

Is it ironic that the one spewing out the Christian-laced garbage is praising a GOP candidate?

Mitt is so awesome. I mean how do you run against a guy who has held EVERY position? It's genius. He can just keep saying "My record shows I'm for that"

I guess the Michigan Republican Party pre-planned their guy McCain would win!!! Pretty funny!!! How does that egg on your face taste? The pundits were all on the bandwagon for McCain. And to all of you who are bashing Mitt because of his wealth, I think it's a good thing. I don't think his ego needs stroking that badly ... William Jefferson Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton – now that's another story!!! Looking back on history, doesn't appear to me that anybody poor ever ran for President. GO MITT ... MITT 2008!!!

Go Mitt! thanks MI! you know what is right.

As a Democrat, I agologize. The Democratic bloggers are turning into a bunch of kool-aid drinkers. Don't worry... they are just bored. A new item will pop up on Obama or Clinton and they will leave.

TOTALLY INEXCUSABLE.....WHATEVER.... SOUNDS AS IF IT WERE DONE ON PURPOSE. UNPARDONABLE FOR GOP STUPIDITY. MITT ROMNEY IS SO FAR SUPERIOR TO JOHN MCCAIN THAT IT ISN'T EVEN DEBATABLE. THE GOP HAS SHOWN A FAVORITISM TOWARD MCCAIN FROM THE BEGINNING AND HAVE NEVER GIVEN ROMNEY THE BENEFIT OF HIS EXPERIENCE, HIS EDUCATION, NOR HIS POSITIVE CAMPAIGN. MCCAIN WAS RUDE, OBNOXIOUS AND HORRID TO ROMNEY DURING THE REPUBLICAN DEBATE. MCCAIN IS NOT ONLY ARROGANT, BUT DOESN'T HAVE HALF THE EDUCATION OR EXPERIENCE THAT ROMNEY HAS TO OFFER.

Romney scares the crap out of me. He is the most fake politician I have ever seen or heard.

Hey did anyone watch the Detroit Economic Club speech on YouTube? Mike had a lot of remarkable great things to say – excellant ideas that really push true, helpful change! The funniest thing was, yesterday during MI voting, Hannity and Romney were talking and they brought up at least 3 ideas that were clearly detailed in the Detroit speech as if they were new options. I think they really do respect Mike Huckabee's brilliance, but of course, he didn't receive any credit. Hmm

As a native New Yorker I would like to respond to the question posted earlier regarding what was so special about what Rudy did on 9/11. What he did in the years prior to the attack is what is so remarkable. He turned the city around, making the streets much safer and able to withstand the attacks without further disaster. Anyone that lived through the blackout of the Koch administration knows the difference. All you have to do is look at pictures of 42 Street pre and post the Rudy era to see the difference. In the 70s and 80s the city was going down hill and he, and afterward Mike Bloomberg, have made the city a great place to live and work.

...and not one of you keyboard geniuses noted the grammatical error in the very first sentence of this article (It's wasn't exactly a "Dewey Defeats Truman" mistake...).

Maybe they thought they were in Florida and the poll were going to be mainipulated in McCain's favor.

How ironic that all the Republican candidates are calling for 'change' – yet they kept their mouths shut for the past seven years, except to praise Bush once in a while.

When did Romney and McCain discover Michigan was losing jobs? Last week apparently.

jay,

Get you rhetoric right...Mitt was not FOR many of the things you listed...he did not stand against them (which he should have) and he shifted to a stand against them. Mitt has always been for Family Values and was never FOR abortion. He has also consistently governed on the conservitive values that the Republican Party stands for.

So glad they are not responsible for our nuclear arsenal!

This woman can't handled her husbend whats make you think she can handled the white house.

Thank You Michigan!!!

The Romney bashing is useless. The guy made all his money and decided to pursue his dream. He didn't wait for government to give him a job, citizenship, or healthcare. He might change his opinion, so did Hillary on immigration and the war. Not sure, why he comes under fire so much. Its bad to be successful in America. That isn't the right message for this country.

"The GOP looks fractured and split?"

Mitt has more delegates than all other candidates combined. Looks like a leader to me.

Hillary received almost as many votes as Romney, if there had been delegates for dems it would have been a no contest!

She doesn't have an opponent! Good=Bye GOP.... November here we come !

Geesh, if a GOP candidate somehow (God forbid) manages to get in the White House I hope they don;t get confused on which button to push.

Allison from NH,
I am astounded by your intelligence, your words are just so deep..Not. I could care less if people like Romney or dislike him, but if you dislike him please come up with something better than Eww..Thank You!

Geesh, if a GOP candidate somehow (God forbid) manages to get in the White House I hope they don;t get confused on which button to push.

I still find it baffling that MI isn't angry with the unions – look at Detroit....thanks UAW....you killed that city with your greed....and yet....they are solidily in the union loving Democratic party....baffling...

btw....which Romney did they vote for...the gay rights/pro-abortion one of years ago....or the new one??

Go Mitt, If this country lets Clinton run this country WE ARE SCREWED.
God Said, FORSAKE ME and I WILL forsake YOU.
Why do you think we are where we are. AS A COUNTRY WE Have forsaken him.

I am wondering where Shane of New York has been for the last few weeks. Who is using Religion all the time in their campaign??? Huckabee--everytime he goes before a mike, he is bringing up religion and the fact that he is a Baptist minister. He makes snide remarks about Romney and his religion. How Christian is that????? Open your eyes and you will see who the real Christian is. Romney. He just doesn't want to get into a religion battle with anyone. He loves his religion as much or more than others , he just doesn't use it as a tool to get voted for.

AHA, thats funny. if i could vote, Barack got my vote but if i had to choose a republican runner up, Romney got my vote.

Just a small sign of the Republican's focus on quality.

I wonder how many people supporting Romney today waved flip-flops (towards John Kerry) during the 2004 Republican convention?

If you did, look in the mirror and you will see a hypocrite.

Okay... so here in Canada the Federal Party known by the name Liberal Party is the equivalent of your Democratic Party. Our other party is named the Conservative Party and is akin to Republicans. As a Canadian Conservative (no, does not mean far right evangelical types) I have always been aligned with U.S. Republicans. Interestingly, I, like many Americans this time around, am so overwhelmingly underwhelmed by both Bush and the sad next-in-line Republicans that I am moved to the Democrats. As Hillary equates to political status quo, Obama stands out and is also palatable and viable. As a heartfelt, historic Conservative/Republican, Seeing Mitt win in Michigan is concerning. I can't fault him for buying and suckering the vote from the folks there. I do feel sad that Michigan voters accepted Mitt's fluff and essentially naive 50's style political promising of the impossible because the ears are willing to absorb it and discount all truth and reality (I mean beyond the current norm). They could have at least gone for McCain to show some sense of their State's true situation.

Meredith

you DO matter

It's a conspiaracy!

sorry typo, meant "Billions for WAR"

Mitt, You Rock! Keep up the hard work! Democrats are pushing hard the notion that they have a lock on the White House, but with you as a nominee they will be stunned when you pull together the conservative coalition and kick their trash!

Conservative principles just make more sense. And, they don't have the, "anybody but Bush," excuse this time!

This message is intended for Republicans favoring privatization, deregulation of capital and currency markets, cutting government programs, cutting pensions, subsidizing the defense industry with U.S. tax dollars, cutting taxes for the wealthiest 2% and any and all policies considered neoliberal (Smithian fundamentalism).

Mein dumkaupf - the economic situation in this country was CAUSED by privatizers, deregulators, public pension-cutters, benefit-slashers and Bush Tax Cut recipients. It will NOT be solved by the same people, of which Mitt Romney is one among many.

We need a return to Keynesian tax-and-spend policies - the only methods of pushing important government healthcare and poverty programs. We need to return to pre-1980's progressive taxation and fully realize the Lyndon Johnson/Michael Harrington program for addressing equitable distribution of income and realizing a full-employment and wage-nenefit enhancement prospect that LASTS longer than retail/healthcare/oil business cycles and MATTERS to the working poor. KEYNESIANISM REALIZED THE MOST EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME AND THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF LIVING IN THE NATION'S HISTORY IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE GREAT DEPRESSION.

MITT ROMNEY WILL NOT ENSURE THIS OUTCOME. Mitt Romney will continue to support neoliberal policies of doing nothing about outsourcing, supporting tax policies that favor the wealthiest %2, deregulating corporation and environment, opposing labor organization and most of all (EVIDENCED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER 13303 ON THE WHITE HOUSE WEBSITE) using state power to either protect or take over the economic wealth of foreign countries, as George Bush did with Iraqi oil, evidenced by the government contractor scandals.

Lots of luck disproving this, based on Mitt's record.

to Phyllis Boyd, Try doing like my husband and I do. Lie. It isn't as bad when you turn the tables on the false premise that they have the right to invade our homes.

As far as not being able to post on this item, I am a Dem recently turned independent and am looking at all candidates. Get over yourself. Come the general election some people will be looking at both parties yet again. Are you telling me it is unacceptable for a Dem to vote Repub?

Romney just says what every one wants to hear. He was a moderate republican, now he some religious conservative, what a joke. The founding fathers wanted separation of Church and State. Religion shouldn't even be an issue.

This guy flip flops more than a fish out of water. Hewas for abortion rights before he was against it, hw was for gay marriage before he was against it, reall where does he stand? According on which way the politcal wind is blowing and which group he needs to pander to. We need true leadership for America, a clear vision to bring this country out of the dark ages of republican stupidity
Obama Edwards are the ones that can bring about real change...change for the good of this country!!!

Romney is winning the Republican base. If anyone undecided will to listen with an open mind to Mitt speak, it will only take a few minutes to see that he is brilliant. The dems and media know that Mitt would crush any liberal socialist on the dem side in a one on one debate. Thus the dems and media are still talking up the Huckster and other losers.

McCain is just another Sr Senator veteran who has no winning ideas like Bob Dole in 1996. Obama/Oprah or the Clintons would have a very big victory against McCain.

Now that the news is out that Rudy is low on money, Mitt is the only candidate that can go the distance and win in November. If the people of Florida do not wake up and give Mitt a win that would make the dems and the media very happy indeed. A vote for McCain or the Huckster is a vote for the Democrats and economic & international failure.

...they call him flipper...

...flipper...

...faster than lightning...

if they take money from corp. they are obligated to seat down and talk it out.in other words get no where. back at point zero. until we break up coorp. things are not going to change. it will take some strong medcian to chain there mind.
take notice buddy

McCain lost some who are totally opposed to any type of military action. He lost more who don't like the Bush-McCain-Kennedy approach to illegal immigration. Considering those he did very well. I have no faith in the RNC or the Michigan Republican Party.

By slowing the McCain "surge" and throwing the Republican race back into question, Mitt Romney's surprise win in Michigan may also impact the Democratic race in favor of Barack Obama. The persistent McCain has been a source of growing concern for Democrats since his "comeback" began with Joe Lieberman's endorsement in New Hampshire last month, and with that concern has come a growing sense at least among some Democrats that Hillary Clinton might be a safer choice against such a supposedly formidable opponent. Had McCain won in Michigan as widely expected, increased fear of the "McCain Factor" among Democrats might have driven many would-be Obama voters into the Clinton camp. Having lost to Romney by a significant margin, however, McCain suddenly doesn't seem quite so formidable after all. The more divided Republicans remain, the more confident Democrats will feel regarding their chances in November. This confidence seems likely to work in Obama's favor.

Are there really people who are so petty they go on and on because someone is born nice looking? How immature? To focus on personal appearance when someone is neat looking and handsome is shallow. Shame on the MEDIA and all others who vote FOR or AGAINST someone because of their looks!

We need someone who has the education, intelligence and experience to help our country FISCALLY as well as socially and in the war against terror. Our economic doom would throw everything else in a tailspin. I was a Bush supporter but disappointed in several of his policies and statesmanship. I really am looking for the most intelligent and practical experienced leader with a statesmanlike demeanor to vote for. And if he happens to be handsome, so be it! But I won't overlook him because of his looks or because he has earned his money through an excellent education, American ingenuity in the business sector and hard work!

MERIDITH.........Never mind......you do not matter....

John,

The GOP looks fractured and split? Tell me how does that compare to the Civil War going on in the Democratic party right now? t

Herbert, that had to be the lamest joke I've ever heard. How long did it take you to come up with that one?

Go Hillary, our last best hope for a decent Republican candidate in 2012....unless people wise up and support Thompson, the GOP is going to be saddled with a weaker candidate and most likely, a socialist Democrat in the White house.

Lori, Bob and Val Davydov. If you and people like you think Mitt is the answer to this economy, you must also believe in the tooth fairy. Mitt, like MOST Republican politicians, only favors corporations and the new world order. Why do you think Mitt won't say anything about his old company's dealings with China and defense contractor 3Com? A deal that even some Republicans are concerned about due to national security implications.

Did you also know that the conservative-led Supreme Court just took away even more rights from regular investors thus allowing scandals such as Enron and Worldcom to continue?

Even investors such as pension funds are criticizing this ruling. With many Americans' net worth essentially gone, corporations are now trying to go after our pensions and anything we have in stock. The veil of secrecy, like the backdoor dealings between Cheney and the energy industry/defense contractors, is now the way to do business in America.

Also, how is it that even last month, Bush kept saying that the economy was strong and Wall Street kept saying corporate profits were up? Yet during all this so-called 7-year economic expansion, people's ability to keep pace went down? What's worse, almost all of the Republican candidates like Mitt agree with Bush's economic policy!

At least the Congressional Budget Office agrees with the Democratic stimulus proposals. The only proposals Republicans are offering are more of what's gotten us into this mess. Tax cuts for the rich, allowing companies to continue to send jobs overseas, and privatizing anything and everything so corporations can continue to take over America and finish eliminating the middle-class. After all, people are easier to control when they have no money.

You know what. Some of you folks really need to take a good mature look at the candidates. On each subject in all of the debates, Mitt Romney is obviously the one who has done his home work and knows what is going on and looks for a real possible solution. I never started out as a Romney fan, but the more I see the more I like, especially compared to the others who are out there who have apparent canned answers to all the questions. Really guys and gals, take your prejudices away and take a real serious look at all these guys.

Have I been wrong all these years? I thought that voting was my priviledge to go into a voting booth and in the privacy of that booth, vote for the candidate of my choice without an explanation to anyone.
I have received numerous phone calls from pollsters asking me who I am going to vote for. I don't think that pollsters have the right to expect an answer.. I get the impression that the news media feel that it is their right to predict the election results and that they were quite upset when the New Hampshire vote didn't turn out the way they expected it to. The way Fox excluded Ron Paul was very unpatriotic. What happened to "Fair and Balanced"? He has a right to run and express his views so that we the American public can decide for ourselves whether he is a sound candidate or not. The news people should report the news, not create it or distort it. Things are getting out of hand

I am a conservative and still rather undecided. But I love how the coverage is so biased, I find it amusing. How funny is that 2 of the "front runners" combined vote totals were about the same as just Ron Paul. I am of course speaking of Fred Thompson and Rudy. How is that possible? I know the reply would be that they didn't campaign in Michigan, but they get 100x more media coverage then Ron Paul. Michigan has cable TV too guys. People need to wake up and realize that the Republican field is a joke. Rudy Guiliani is nothing but hot air. All he claims is how he would be good at fighting terror because......his city was attacked? Thats like saying I would be a good Doctor if my wife got cancer. Its empty words. Yet some Americans, and Flordians I am talking to you, buy this stuff. What did he do? Did he track down the culprits? No, he was Mayor. He has made millions of this, yet some of these senior citizens down South think he is ready to wage this war on terror. Or maybe his trillion dollar tax cuts, or is it his contstant reference to Reagan. Someone please explain the appeal. Obviously Michigan didn't buy it.

Mike January 16, 2008 10:42 am ET

Too many Democrats posting on this topic. This was a Republican primary with only Republican candidates benefiting at all. You Democrats are obviously not going to be voting Republican so any of us really care squat about your opinion.

And since the Democratic candidate will win in November, why should any of us Democrats care squat about YOUR opinion????

The reason is simple – ALL opinions should be heard in order for people to make informed decisions. It's called "Freedom of Speech", Mike. It's in the Bill of Rights – look it up if you don't believe me...

More proof that the Republican Party is out of the loop. Yet another reason to vote Democratic – this is typical of GOP "business-as-usual".

Hey Wayne in Greenville, TX,

How about the Democrats "business-as-usual" of cheating voters? Michiganders' votes won't count this time, and New Hampshire voters are being subjected to the same recount shenanigans that Floridians went through in 2000.

You should check your own party before casting stones...!

Next question!! which candidate wins South Carolina. ?? Pehaps the Republican party can announce it friday. The GOP looks fractured and split on most issues this is reflected in the results so far. Bush is staying extraordinarily silent on this race even staying away from the Democratic candidates does he fear putting the kiss of death on the Republican Candidates.

THANK YOU MICHIGAN.
The rest of us surely appreciate the opportunity you have helped provide us to support and vote for the BEST Candidate. MITT ROMNEY 2008!

Somebody said, "Romney is organized. He know's where the paper is," and he sure knows how to flip-flop the paper also!

Meredith – this is one Ken doll that has plenty of brains. Look forward to seeing him behind the Presidential desk!!! WOW!!! GO MITT!!!

Romney is organized. He know's where the paper is.

i will admit, that i will most likely vote democratic, however Mitt is a Ken doll. Not much going on there. Can you imagine him handling the WAR? Please! Iraq is not the Olympics!

Go, Mitt!!! Michigan got it right ... hope Nevada does too. MITT 2008!!!

well, the romney campaign seemed to finally buy one states vote... can't wait to see who else falls for it

I honestly haven't taken a liking to any of the candidates yet to the point where I would vote for them... Mitt Romney is slowly but surely winning my confidence, though. Congrats, Mitt, And Wayne- the REPUBLICANS are out of the loop? Surely you can't think the Democrats in the loop themselves?

Romney makes me sick

Too many Democrats posting on this topic. This was a Republican primary with only Republican candidates benefiting at all. You Democrats are obviously not going to be voting Republican so any of us really care squat about your opinion.

Congratulations Gov. Romney! Well done and THANK YOU Michigan!

More proof that the Republican Party is out of the loop. Yet another reason to vote Democratic – this is typical of GOP "business-as-usual".

A case of "Wishful Thinking" on part of the party brass perhaps. I liked McCain back in 2000 but his coat of tarnish has grown too thick for me. I, under no circumstances, will vote for any Republican at any level of government this year and I may not vote for many Independents or Democrats either. Sorry boys but the price the rest of us have to pay for your egomania leadership has gotten far too much for me to want to pay.

Good job Mitt. You are our only chance.
MITT FOR 2008

Congratulations to Romney. We have hope. The economy is in a tailspin.

Romney: eww, ewww and more ewwwwww.

They can just wait until Super Tuesday to do that!
