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….
