Well, Florida is upon us now. The results don't really matter on the DEM side so there isn't really much to predict. Candidates were encouraged not to campaign there. The above numbers were my predictions a few weeks ago regarding the delegate count going into Super Tuesday for the GOP...

I know many people still watching them. The debate haven't been horrible, but the endless analysis between debates is getting tiresome. Especially since the "analysts" are so far off all the time.

Agreed. New Hampshire is ridiculous and a mockery of the system. They even let DEMs cross state lines and vote in the GOP primary. I'm registered independent and I simply accept the fact that I can't vote in the primary.

Do you realize that the three you just named are notorious for working across party lines? Not only can RP not work across party lines, he can't even work within party lines. During his extremely long tenure he has almost accomplished nothing. Every bill he proposes gets shot down. Every...

I feel for all the trauma you've had to endure, but that is precisely Ron Paul's problem right now. Allow me to offer a very similar situation for demonstrative purposes. A very talented indie punk bank saves up some cash by playing small gigs for a couple years. They use this cash to get...

There is always a "best", because best is a relative term meaning better than all others. I find it odd that your "best" would be a moderate and yet you claim you can't find one in this race. Moderates with proven ability to work across party lines= McCain Romney Huckabee

ZZZ... I see your points and they are valid. I don't think what you are saying is strawman at all. I disagree with you as often as I agree with you, but so far on this thread you're statements are being dismissed on the grounds of history and bias rather than the concepts they present...

It was amazing to see the contrast between last night's GOP debate and the DEM debate a couple days ago. While watching the DEM debate I was hoping for some legitimate debate and was very surprised by the playground banter. One single sentence sums up that debate. "I know you are, but...

Well, only one of the candidates took my advice last night. :D The debate was incredibly civil, which was the best thing Mitt could hope for. Rudy needed to go after Mac; he didn't. Mac needed to go after Mitt; he didn't. Huck needed to go after Mitt; he didn't. Mitt just needed to...

Today is huge for Mac and Mitt and Rudy. Huck is pretty much out of Florida and I think ultimately out of the race after Feb. 5. This is Rudy's last chance to save himself from his free-fall. This is where Mac will have to show that he can actually debate when he being attacked. Mitt...

I would've agreed with you a couple months ago, but Mitt grows in popularity with each passing week. The main reason is the economic situation. If Mitt gets the nomination and the economy rebounds then he will lose for sure. OTOH, if things keep going the way they have been for a couple...

Who said I support Huckabee? I've said several times that Mitt Romney is the best single candidate on either side. Admittedly, I don't like everything about him, but I don't think I've ever liked everything about any single candidate during my lifetime. Each president must face different...

I like him, but don't agree with several of his positions. I'd like to see him appointed secretary of treasury or something. I don't trust him as Commander in Chief.

Yeah, it's shaping up to be a Mitt vs Mac throwdown after Florida. If Rudy is gone then Mac will have a good showing in the large states and Mitt is the only one with enough money to campaign in the smaller states. It'll be nice to see debates narrowed down to only a few candidates...

Yeah, I don't see a Mitt/Mac ticket. Mac has always hated Mitt and they aren't shy about proclaiming their dislike for each other. Mac would do very little for Mitt in the generals. He would get a few independents but not enough to make a difference in the electoral college. Mitt alone...

Nah, I'm too objective for a show on either side, and I actually know how to accurately present statistical figures. None of the cable shows want fair and balanced analysis. Anyway, I had wondered the same thing a while back, seeing that a MITT/Fred pairing is the best after the elections...

Well, Fred just threw in the towel. Personally I think he's too smart to align with Mac, but you never know. I just think he wants a serious VP shot and the nominee is still up in the air. I'd be surprised if he took a gamble on Mac. But if Mitt wins Florida, I wouldn't be surprised to see...

By looking at polls coming out of Florida, Thompson dropping out helps Huck a bit and Mitt quite a bit. That is unless Fred endorses Mac. Without that endorsement, Mac and Rudy just saw their chances of winning Florida get smaller. Fred was the most conservative of the candidates thus far...

Yeah, look at the delegate counts. Blatant misrepresentation. Showing Mac with a commanding lead. Just because delegates aren't bound doesn't mean that they haven't selected a candidate already. Really Mitt has over 70 delegates and almost double what Mac has right now. We know who the...

Giuliani's camp must be scared out of their minds right now. Latest polls show Romney edging ahead in Florida by gaining 7% in one week as Huckabee and Thompson drop. This gives us a bit of a picture into the minds of Floridians. I don't care much for single polls, but the trends hint at...
