Bil TGH...

Romney never said that he didn't want to 'work with the Democrats' – but he won't compromise his values and vision for this country. He will work with them and they may not like it but he will find the right solutions. He understands the vision of the founding fathers and will be true to it.

McCains brainwashing techniques are not working on us...

Stop with the distortions, McCain. Be honorable like you say you are, and do what is right.

Frankly, I'm with Rush .... I'm scared to death that we'll lose our standing as Repulican conservatives if McCain or Huck are elected. Sorry, but I love this country and I want someone in office who understands what the founding fathers hoped for our country.

A vote for Romney guareantees that Hillary or Obama, will win the Primary in Nov. There are about 40% Republicans registered in US, there 60% registered Dems. The Republicans are mostly 60 years and older. The Dems are mostly new registered l8 years and older. We need to look at the big picture and the future. McCain can clearly win either Hillary or Obama. There is a tremendous push for Obama, i.e. my grandchildren which I have nine, and l8 years older will be voting for the first time, they are jumping on the Obama, bandwagon. Keep your eyes on AZ, they are having a huge rally at the stadium Wed. for Obama, and there is talk of standing room only. The young people want change, and are saying "yes we can". McCain, is the only Rep. who can beat dems. in Nov. He appeals to all ages, independents and moderates. We have voted for Rep. since Kennedy, but if Romney gets the nod we will vote for The Demo. for president. Hoping this will not happen. We cannot, cannot trust or believe mitt, he is not believable uggg....he seems to speak from both sides of his mouth...

Unbelievable cannot believe Cheney's daughter is backing Romney. Hard to belive she is not backing Obama, who is running under the Rainbow coalition, which is for Gay, rights. Knowing that Romney is a so, called staunch conservative and is against gay marriage and rights. What's the deal here? Or does cheney have another daughter we don't know of!!!

Mitt Romney's message, in a nutshell: "Washington is broken. But John McCain works too well with Democrats. Working with others is no way to fix things. I'll get your job back, and I have the business experience to do it. Oh wait, that experience was all about laying people OFF and shipping people's jobs overseas. Well never mind that. My hair looks great, have you noticed? And I'm pro-choice, er, I mean, anti-choice... um, what state is this again??? I need my cue cards! Handlers, please tell me who I am today!"

Mitt is the only choice for Me...however as an Independent I cannot vote in the Florida primary on Tuesday...Please other Floridians do not fall for the Old War Vet ....I'm a leader not a manager...Gee don't you have to be able to manage your team as President AND be a leader....which I think Mitt can do well.
McCain is a really a democrat....his work with Kennedy was scary as they were trying to throw that Shamnesty down the American peoples throats. I for one contacted our Florida Senator Mel Martinez...but of course he supported the Shamnesty and now supports McCain. My hands are tied by every turn here in Florida . I would Like to know why I couldn't change my party affiliation to Republican (so I could vote for Mitt) with over a week to go before voting day. Too many rules...I just want to vote for who I want...
Oh Jeez... just heard on the TV that Crist is supporting McCain Now!!?? Please help me out other Mitt supporters and get Mr. Shamnesty outta here!
GO MITT!!
ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT!!!

If McCain wins the nomination, I vote 3rd party or stay at home. He can't be trusted with our borders or national sovereignty. By him pushing for the amnesty bill last year he lost my vote forever.

The 2000 democrat vice president candidate (Joe Lieberman) endorsed McCain, recently so did the New York times. Romney would have won New Hampshire if they only counted Republican votes. It is obvious McCain has been acting like a democrat for a few years. Romney is just stating the obvious.

"Gov. Romney is absolutely correct. Sen. McCain is more like a Democrat than he is a Republican."

Good, maybe Romney will donate to his campaign then, just like he did to the campaigns of John LaFalce, Richard Swett, and Doug Anderson. John McCain might vote for the occasional Democratic policy, but there's some years Romney thinks we need more Democrats in Washington.

McCain:

His memory is very selected! He forget what he says and also what the other candidates say and then he says "half-truths". I would go as far as to say that he basically will say anything to get elected,as he "feels" he has been cheated!

By: Dan

McCain is so desperate for power, he will say anything to grab it. There is no lie he isn't willing to tell. Think back for a second, when John Kerrey was the democratic nominee for President, but hadn't picked his V.P. yet, McCain wanted the job on the democratic ticket! Don't believe me? Google "McCain Kerrey's VP" and find the story yourself.

I think everyone is our worst nightmare! We are totally so screwed we may never be an America again. McCain wants to keep us in iraq for 100 years and the rest–even the Dems–have no plans to pull out. We need to bring our troops home now and let the rest of the world step up and pull duty while we get out of debt and shore up our borders. What America needs is a large scale revolution.

Another bold-faced lie by John McCain. Romney did not call for a withdrawal from Iraq. I guess McCain, as usual was not listening during the debate. If I have said it once, I will say it again. McCain is a loser.

Actually, I'm for Ron Paul. However, if he does not get the nomination, then the best of the rest is Mitt Romney. He is the one the democrats are really afraid of, not McCain.

I am a fundamental Christian and do not believe that Mormon's are Christian. However, that makes no difference to me. We are electing a President of the United States, not a Prophet.

If Republicans want to really win this contest, they need to do everything they can to see that Romney gets the Republican nomination. Anyone else will lose to Clinton, who I predict, will be the democrat standard bearer. I can't believe that people are stupid enough to think Obama is fit to run this country.

seemingly not a bad move for Romney, but if it gets him to the general election its going to bite him. McCain's bipartisan workmanship is only a credit to his record, and this will help him in the general election.

One of the frustrating things for me is all the people who just listen to what the candidates are saying. Most people don't appear to be taking a look at what they have accomplished over the last 20 years. From my perspective ALL of the candidates suck at how they are communicating in their ad's and debates. It fosters contention in the worst way. I don't like ANY of the candidates, and it will really suck to have to choose between just 2 of them in the end.

Where are the quality people like Colin Powell???

Since Most folks don't take the time to really understand and learn about the candidates, we have only ourselves to blame for what we get in the end.

Does anybody remember McCain last year in the following:

Illegal Aliens do the jobs Americans won't do. McCain had the nerve to challenge the American people that he would pay $50 an hour to anyone who would come to his ranch and work the fields the way the Illegal Aliens do.

Gov. Romney is absolutely correct. Sen. McCain is more like a Democrat than he is a Republican. Look at his record especially last year. He sided and praised Democrats, called fellow Senators and Citizens unacceptable names because they did not support Amnesty and he has yet to give a FIRM answer to immigration questions today. Sen. McCain cannot be trusted to be President.

By: Greg

I like Mitt and will vote for him... Mitts description of McCain is accurate and is not "mud slinging". Why would anyone compromise with an opposing philosophy. Is McCain a compromiser or is he just a liberal Republican? McCain talks tough but that doesn't make him a conservative.. look at his voting record and the things he has done..There are many Liberal Republicans now.. I would put George W. Bush in that category... look at what Bush has done with our borders... definitely not conservative. Look at all of our money he has spent on the aids problem.. a hell of a lot more than Clinton ever did... Bush is definitely not a conservative.. you could even argue that the war in Iraq is not a conservative approach to fight Terrorism. I would say that conservatism is dead and that is why this country is in so much trouble. The liberals get their way even when the republicans are in charge.....I would like to see Mitt win even though he is no Ronald Reagan I think he is the best choice out of the people left.. I wanted Duncan Hunter but of course he never had a chance because conservatism is dead.

Mcgruntled AKA Mccain is no different then most of the DEMS! You watch, when he loses the Republican nomination he will be pushed to run as a independent. My guess is once he loses you will have a tsunami of his pals @ ABC,NBC,CBS, CNN, and all the other left leaning Media darlings of Mccain push him to run as an Independent and maybe Bloomberg his VP canidate. Mccain the MAVERICK is no different then AL Gore, they are both still bitter over their loses to "W" and will never become the President Of the United States.

McCain may be the Democrats' favorite Republican, but Romney is the Mormons' favorite. If you want to see our great American democracy become a Mormonocracy, just vote for Romney!

What Romney's ad said may have been absolutely the most idiotic position I have ever heard a politiican take in my 48 years on this planet. There went what little chance he had at my vote. He is too stupid to be President.

God forbid we actually had the two political parties work together to solve the issues we face.

God forbid we actaully have a civil and reasonable debate about how to address those issues.

Oh thats right, then CNN would have nothing to write about, as they do not seem to know what the issues are. while we keep asking about the economy, the war, etc. CNN keeps reporting on race and gender. The one thing I will give Bill clinton credit for is calling them out on that.

When Barack was asked during the last Democratic debate "Do you think Bill Clinton was the first black president?" there is no point in watching any further debates moderated by CNN. How does that question help voters make a decision on candidates? It doesn't. It is a question intended to inflame and cause animosity between the candidates. Then CNN sits back and waits for the blowup to happen so they can run to their cameras like giddy schoolgirls spreading the latest gossip.

Remember the war hero Bob Dole, Purple Heart WWII vet back in 1996?
The Dems and the media loved Dole in congress just like the dems like McCain in congress. However being liked by Kennedy and Feingold in congress and a war vet will not win against the Clintons or Obama/Oprah.

The Florida primary is Republican-only. That's a roadblock for McCain. McCain won in NH and SC because of liberal independents. Romney is winning the Republican base.

This ad is really weird, and I have the sneaky suspicion that it wasn't entirely Romney's idea. But I would like to bring up something off topic. If you were to ask most people some of their pet peeves, the odds are that some would be "getting calls from telemarketers" and "commercials that interrupt my favorite show." So why do politicians believe it's such a great idea to spend millions of dollars calling people and making television commercials? Doesn't that turn people off? I don't understand.

I've never really seen what the problem is with working across the aisle - isn't that the kind of thing that both Bush and Clinton always wanted to be, "great uniters"? Here's someone who actually could do it and, heaven forbid, fix some problems by getting people to work together and compromise. Someone who doesn't want to work with Democrats is either a) foolish or b) doesn't understand the political realities of the situation and will be Bush Jr. Jr.

Right on Stan. All things considered he's the best. Of course Bill is out saying John and Hill are friends. Wonder if he is trying some reverse physcology. (sp?).
Ron Paul should get in the 21st century or go home.
The dems want us to fail in the war. The trial lawyers want the economy to tank. The socialists want to raise our taxes and spend, spend spend.

Huckabee is a light-weight, a softy, and even worse, very liberal with his economic stance. Thank you that Huckabee is out of the race...and what's up with this Chuck Norice...give me a break.

Romney cheats - the whisper comes at 10 seconds when someone whispers the word "support" as Romney begins to stray off course. The whispers have been verified as real by Msnb, however the source is still unknown to both MSNB as well as the public. MSNBC has said the whispers are most likely a technical error. Go to U Tube to listen to both video's where you hear Romney getting prodded to say what he does". One is "he raised taxes" and the other video you hear the word "support"

I have looked and haven't seen any ad about John like is noted in this article from the Romney campaign. What I have found on the Romney website is a posting about economic stimulus and long term policy that shows the sound, principled approach that Romney is known for. He led the crucial effort to pull the 2002 Olympics out of the mire. He can do that for our economy and the other things our country is facing, i.e. erosion of the family, strengthening national defence, providing for LEGAL immigration. He has proven his leadership capabilities in the private and the public sectors by walking the walk and not just talking the talk.
