Romney is the Republican Front-Runner...

Back to the Presidential Race, my last post was off just a little because Romney actually won Michigan and Nevada! So our given the count of the day Romney is now the clear front-runner, but there is curiously no mention of this in the mainstream press outlets. Very curious! Could it be they actually fear a Regan-esque president?

Romney has been the closest thing to front-runner for nearly a month and a half now if you have been watching the electoral vote count and Wyoming was swept under the carpet for weeks afterward. Yet another instance of an anti-Romney bias as I see it. It is so annoying to hear the pundits in the newspapers and at FOX and CNN talking about “Mac” like he is some kind of Lazarus! He isn't South Carolina was mostly an Anti-Huckster vote to my eyes. The things I read and saw online clearly showed McCain running as a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN... (Does anybody actually believe a word he says when his actions on every core issue are in adamant opposition to the values expressed so eloquently by Regan and echoed by Romney?) Anyway, I thought a caller to the Laura Ingram Show summed it up best. He said I am a Romney supporter and I voted for McCain... NOT because I changed my mind on who I want for President, I just didn't want the Huckaburger to gain any further traction. That point seems to shed a ray of light on McCain’s win and leave a slight specter of failure on his South Carolina victory.

The following Real Clear Politics Poll is interesting. (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/fl/florida_republican_primary-260.html). See how Michigan, South Carolina and Nevada hurt the Huckster and Giuliani and helped McCain and Romney. But if you look at the trend it bodes VERY well for Romney. Especially since this is a closed party election. No Dems to come vote for McCain in this one! Romney has always scored high with the base and that is a point that has been lost in the chatter of the talking heads. The relevant point that I think I see is one that Pat Buchanan has made recently, If Romney wins Florida then come the following Super Tuesday, Romney will likely solidify enough votes and momentum to capture the nomination.

As I look at Florida I see it largely as a springboard state, very much like Giuliani has been saying all these months. So Giuliani isn't mistaken in think Florida will be a springboard state. He is just wrong about it being his springboard.
But that is my opinion on the insanity….

Two Silver Medals could Lead to a Gold in the End

With the second of the Presidential Primary votes complete to my way of thinking there is only one clear winner; Mitt Romney. But, he came in second in each contest you say. My point exactly, I shall reply.

First let’s look at “The Corn Huckster”, he won Iowa, but Mitt Romney was right there close behind him.

Second there is Johnny “I have been here before New Hampshire and not won so what makes this any different” McCain. He won New Hampshire by a margin similar to his previous victory in New Hampshire. Then there is behind him that familiar face Mitt Romney.

So returning to "The Huckster" is not a relevant candidate in New Hampshire, making him look a bit like a one hit nobody. That is how many of us conservatives see him, especially when he joins forces to play the “enemy of my enemy” is my friend game with Johnny Mac. Mac is a clear and obvious RINO and no conservative candidate. Nevertheless, RINOs run together, after all, any man who wants to force employer so to look closely at an employee's health habits and outlaw smoking is in my book a RINO and a rather far left leaning RINO at that. In case, you had not heard that RINO is “The Huckster”.

Sadly, Federalist Fred did not really make an effort to compete in New Hampshire or Iowa, he looks and speaks Presidential, but he acts as if it is not his burning desire. I wish it were not so. However, Wishes win no election, if they were the current Governor of Alaska would be a man named Andrew and not the current “Vogue Princess” who has no clothes; that sad state of affairs is another RINO issue entirely and of little importance to the national scene.

Thankfully, Rudy "I wouldn't know what the Constitution of United States was even if it were a snake wrapped itself around my leg and bit me; but I was the face of 9/11 so you should vote for me" Giuliani, has not made any showing in either state and we can pray this is a trend that continues.

All of this leads me to believe that while many may not openly support Mitt "the Mormon" Romney it is he who has been the big winner of these two contests. He has been consistent; and his numbers are nothing to be ignored. In fact, if you compare the numbers of the two states as a whole Mitt Romney has garnered more votes than any other candidate has.

The real test for all of these candidates is still ahead and if Michigan reveals yet another one state winner it will surely be Mitt Romney who is the man behind the scene proving yet again he has not just one state that supports him but three in the larger picture. He will begin to be the one constant face in the crowd on the Republican Arena, if this current trend continues. Time and a few more states, especially the Super Tuesday States will be the deciding factor for many of these candidates. However, if it remains a toss up into the Convention, I would predict that out of the confusion the man who is always second would indeed become the first, while the man who takes the most will be VP.
