Dr. Dobson... Too Litttle.... Too Late!!!!

I know I am going to offend some folks on this one but this is one of those things that has to be said in spite of the annoyance because it is the truth, at least as far as I can see. If Dr. Dobson wants to enlighten us further I will gladly ammend the details but right now this is how it stands... So with further word count inflating... Bill O'Rielly would call it Bloviating... ;) My critical critique of the Dobson endorsement of Huckabee.

I have a real bone to pick with one man today for is "endorsement" of Mike Huckabee as the only conservative left. That man is Dr. Dobson, who I have the greatest amounts of respect and admiration for him on other matters of discussion especially matter of the Family. But frankly speaking I see through his BS endorsement of Huckabee this morning. He in my oppinion all but endorsed Mitt Romney a few days ago but came short of doing so. I have looked at it from several sides and the only answer for why he didn't is a very bigoted reason (which saddens me greatly). He assumed that he could attack McCain and not endorse Romney's only other rival and have us read between the lines as to who he really secretly supported was Mitt Romney. Yes that is what he ment by the letter he sent to Laura Ingram on the eve of Super Tuesday, she had been Mitt's greatest advocate and he knew that by sending her this closet endorsment she would read it and all of us would understand and be willing to vote just like he wanted without ever having to dirty his image in the South. I believe his endorsement given weeks earlier would have made a difference in some of the Southern States. His strategy and obtusiveness backfired on the country and now we all must deal with the reality that we face. To be fair though he wasn't the only one who just didn't get it until it was too late, but he is the most prominate of the bunch. So where does that leave us? John McCain is our man. YUCK! If we are lucky Mitt will accept the VP spot if McCain is smart enough to offer it.

Just for the fun of it... Super Tuesday Predictions

Just for a bit of fun and to test the spread sheet I have built to calculate the value of polls. It has thus far been wrong on West Virginia, so you can take it with a grain of salt. I just thought it would be of interest to counter this claim in the media that McCain is going to make a Clean Sweep today and capture the nomination.

As predicted by the media and the polls... (This is how the media started the day in the projected delegate count.)

Candidate Delegate Count
John McCain 600
Mitt Romney 475
Mike Huckabee 171
Ron Paul 17


As the polls stand now... (This is the status of the projected delegate count as it stands with OFFICIAL NUMBERS replacing projected poll numbers for WV).

Candidate Delegate Count
John McCain 570
Mitt Romney 475
Mike Huckabee 201
Ron Paul 17


As I suspect it will end up... (This is the status of my projected delegate count as it stands with OFFICIAL NUMBERS replacing projected poll numbers for WV).

Candidate Delegate Count
John McCain 550
Mitt Romney 462
Mike Huckabee 240
Ron Paul 17

In any case does this appear to be a CLEAN SWEEP for McCain?

Romney WINS Maine!!!

In other news not truly being reported Mitt Romney, (the true conservative heir to the Ronaldus Magnus Scepter of Power), wins yet another upset from the McLair and his BS Express. He pulled 18 of the Maine Delegates to bring him just 5 delegates from his previous first place position.

Huckabee scored an abysmal FOUTH PLACE finish in Maine (behind Ron Paul of all canditates of non-showing), and in spite of his 29 delegates the Iowa Huckster is still nothing more than a third tier candidate and if he were a true conservative would have bowed out and thrown his hat to the Romney camp. His petulance in this race leads me to think of him as stuck pig squealing for all he is worth because he knows he is about to be eaten for dinner.

What annoys me most about the Huckster is that he is lying to everybody when he proclaims himself a Christian and a man of high ideals, when he clearly was complicit in the McLiar’s attack on Romney’s clear position against the “Timetables” of the Democrats. Romney is a strong realist who understands that when you have no plan for success you fail! That is all his statement of a secret timetable meant as was clearly delineated by the following question in which he stated he would VETO ANY BILL THAT WAS A TIMETABLE FOR WITHDRAWL.

Regan was a man of honor, McCain while a clear war hero in the past, is no longer a man of integrity. That is clear.

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.
