McCain’s win in Florida does not spell disaster for Mitt Romney, in fact it spells disaster to the remaining candidates. Giuliani is done and his support going to McCain will give McCain a slight edge going into next Tuesday. The independent vote is needed by McCain. Many experts argue that that is the only way to beet the Democrats in November. McCain/Giuliani in Novemeber? You know, that would be something.
Huckabee is still in the race, why? Who knows. He won Iowa and that was nice, but not good enough in my opinion. Will he support Romney? Christians and Mormons unite! I’ve been saying all along that Huckabee would make a good Vice President. He is a younger guy, only 52 years old. Lots of time left on his political clock. Romney was close in Florida. Conservatives still like him a lot more than McCain, obviously. They understand that McCain is too left leaning to get any of the conservative agenda accomplished. But apparently the common voter does not. They pick the person not the policy.
Another problem is you have independent voters who lean more to the left voting for McCain. I read recently that many independent voters are registering as Republicans to vote in closed elections. How strange would it be in November when the exit polls show an overwhelming majority of Republicans voted for Clinton!
I realize that the TV guys have nothing better to talk about but trying to predict the future; their future is McCain. The mainstream glows over him like he is their new born baby. They dismiss Romney as being plastic and pandering. How can it be pandering if you are stating facts that people actually LIKE to hear? Next Tuesday is a big one. If Huckabee stays in the race through this then you probably will see McCain rise. After all, those who voted for Huckabee would be more likely to vote for Romney than McCain. The big delegate states are the key for Romney. If he loses the majority of those to McCain, he’s done. If he splits them, we may be waiting for the convention for the nomination. If he takes more of them, he is on his way. We wait and wait and wait. Next Tuesday will be a long night. I will cast my vote and watch the TV like many of you as the results roll in. Hopefully they will be accurate.
