Romney Wins Michigan

[ChronoSpark]

I just made a hugely long post on my blog concerning this. But it's interesting. On the Republican end there's still no front-runner because of this. Each time that a candidate has a chance to push ahead, someone else comes out on top. One candidate hasn't one 2 of the primary races yet. First Huckabee, then McCain, now Romney.

And then with the Democrats, Obama won Iowa and then Hillary won New Hampshire. I guess we need to look forward to Saturday with the Nevada vote. I honestly think Obama has a better chance of winning, but anything could happen, as we've all seen. Can't really trust the polls either anymore, can we?

Honestly it doesn't matter who wins the Republican primary, I really can't see anyone other than McCain actually winning against any of the top 3 democrats.

I could see Romney or Guilianni winning against the top three. In 1992 no one thought Bush could loose. In 1996 money was on Dole because of Clinton's legislative defeat in 1994. 2000 was just a horserace, although many projections held that a Democrat would win. Finally in 2004 many thought Bush was going to repeat his father's single term presidency...then they nominated John Kerry who ran a horrible campaign.

If Obama wins he is unexperienced at the national level and this is a strike against him in that his campaign inexperience could lead to defeat a la Gore and Kerry's bungled campaigns.

Hillary stands the best chance of not loosing the election because she has national campaigning experience.

I can easily see the Democrat loosing to McCain, Romney or Guilianni.

All polls have suggested that Hillary is the least liked Democratic nominee and both Obama and Edwards have consistently faired better than Hillary in head-to-head against the main Republican hopefuls. Edwards has a fair bit of campaigning experience himself, and Obama's popularity has been rising.

I can easily see the Democrat loosing to McCain, Romney or Guilianni.

Giuliani: Fail in Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan. I think people are waking up to the fact that he's a joke, although he didn't really campaign that much in those states. The Republican nomination imo is between Romney and Huckabee and McCain is the dark horse.

RON PAUL!!!

Or not.

Anyway, didn't you people get your candidates elected on Feb 5th, the other cactuses or whaever being pretty much equivalent to those tiny chunks of shit that one shits before shitting the serious big shit?

The only republican candidate I would vote for is McCain, and a large majority feel that way (at least that is how it seems).

Romney winning Michigan isn't a big deal, considering that is the state he is from.

McCain is only republican by name, he's not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination. He may encourage alot of swing voters, but he'd turn away so much of the republican conservative base there would be no way he could win. Romney has a chance, a good one against hillary or obama. His stances on social issues, mainly civil unions, may turn away some bible base republican voters, but bring enough swing and even democrat voters to make up for it. His religion is another plus, most of the criticism towards him will most likely be religious concerns leaving him time to speak about issues swaying voter towards him with that and then closer to election time answer the religious questions freeing up alot of the vote from people who are concerned with that.
