Meet the new GOP front-runner

Two primary wins, two seconds. No one else has been as broadly competitive so far. He has the most delegates and the most money in the bank, and he’s back to campaigning in South Carolina for Saturday’s primary. He’s in a statistical tie for second there. With four primary contests and three different winners, there isn’t a solid front-funner in the GOP but there is a front-runner for now, and that’s Mitt Romney.
Am I the only one breathing a sigh of relief that the front-runner coming out of Michigan isn’t McCain or Huckabee?
Update: Here’s CNN’s rolling tally of the votes.

Am I dreaming to think that I may hear someone say “Hucka-who?” tomorrow?
Micheal on January 15, 2008 at 9:51 PM
Romney’s victory is sucking all the air from McCain and Hucky…YES
SouthernGent on January 15, 2008 at 9:52 PM
thats what I’ve been thinking.
This is what I see happening to Mitt. Since mormons are overwhelmingly republican(Utah was the reddest state in 2004), they will start to “explore the religion” on TV news shows leading up to the election. They will no doubt find some fundamentalist from Bob Jones to give their view on the religion as well as other evangelicals who view it as a cult. Then they will explore the Mormon theology of exaltation, which basically beleives you can become a god yourself by works on earth. What better way than to become President…..the left would eat this up, and it would turn off alot of Evangelical support that would agree with most of it.
I think it would be a big challenge to overcome. I can remember being told not to by Crest toothpaste because its owned by mormons, for example. If they won’t buy their toothpaste, how will they vote for one for POTUS?

Slightly OT, but it really tickled me earlier tonight when Brit Hume said that it was too close to call between Hillary and “Uncommitted”!
Hope he has run-flat tires on his car.

I would not have mined McCain, and I really didn’t think Huck had a chance. Huck is an anomoly. He will disappear soon enough. McCain never really had a chance to go all the way, but it was nice to see the old man smile.
I don’t like Mitt. Sorry, he strikes me as a slick politician of the old school, but I said that before. If Fred flops, which I think he will, I will probably root for Rudy on Feb 5th.
bnelson44 on January 15, 2008 at 10:10 PM
As much as Romney is no hero, of the “front-runners” he’s probably the best choice (considering Thompson is pretty much done). I hate to keep telling the Fredheads… but he’s done, and that’s just the way it is. Getting McCain and Huckabee out of the race would be a great victory. We can see what happens with Giuliani, who sadly I think would have a better chance of beating the Dem nominee (than Romney does), but as it stands now I’d say it’s going to be Romney. Maybe Thompson can be his VP pick?
I’m sure I’m late to this game, but I’ll submit my joke on the “uncommitted” thing… I didn’t think Bill Clinton could run, he already served 2 terms.
RightWinged on January 15, 2008 at 10:12 PM

bnelson44 on January 15, 2008 at 10:20 PM
Three different contests, three different winners (sorry, Wyoming doesn’t really count). There’s no front-runner. The sad part of this whole thing is the rush by so-called “principled” conservatives to crown Romney, a candidate with no principles, in order to stave off a perceived threat by Huckabee and/or McCain. Do they want to lose in November?
Big S on January 15, 2008 at 10:20 PM
Romney/Thompson 08 the solid conservatve ticket

Wow. That’s the second toothpaste comment I’ve seen today about Mitt. Here’s the first (scroll down to #104), at Politico:
What’s next? Mitt’s toothpaste is made in China? His car has parts in it that weren’t made in Detroit? His shoelaces aren’t biodegradable?
It looks like toothpaste just could bring down his candidacy.

Mitt’s preemption of McCain has McCainiacs hopping mad.
McCain’s speech – he didn’t even stick around to give it to his supporters in Michigan, and was essentially an ephu to a state that “can’t handle the truth” and was welcome to its Favorite Son – was…almost gracious. But not quite. Jonah Goldberg commented that it wasn’t the classiest move on Mitt’s part.
Perhaps the goal was to push Maverick into another 2000-style post-South Carolina rant. when McCain is seen in a Full Public Snit usually costs him votes.

Running-mates don’t have to come from those running for president. I like both Mitt & Fred, but there are lots of good people out there.
He would be a good choice as VP, because he’s smart. He would be (alas for identity politics!) a good running-mate against Obama.
Tzetzes on January 15, 2008 at 10:24 PM
No it’s not. I’m glad Mr. Romney won – however, Hillary used this tactic when she first ran for Sen. of NY, and I thought she was a b*tch then. The civilized and traditional transfer of power is something I admire in a free country. It speaks volumes about the leaders, or the ‘leaders’.
I’m still upset at Gore for dragging the country/world through those interminable weeks in 2000. It prevents him from ever running again. If he’d have been gracious, and considered his country before his fat ego, he’d have been a shoe in in 2004. Alas, now he’s saving us/the world.

Full Disclosure: Mormon, never a MItt fan, was a Rudy supporter, leaning Fred now.
I think that Mormons are just flat out viewed different by the electorate. There are centrists libs and moderates who would never think about voting against someone because of their religion, who will be motivated to come out and vote against Mitt because he’s a Mormon. There are evangelicals who would never vote against a Catholic, despite their objection to their dogma, but would against Mormons. Mormons are more than just wrong, more than just “out there”. Check out Redford’s comments on how we train our missionaries to be “used car salesmen”. There is a perception that Mormons are frauds, liars, cons. That’s why this “phoney” meme about Romney is so disconcerting for Mormons. It’s like calling someone with “stein” on the end of their name a “neo-con” They may say they don’t mean it in a bigoted way, but it rings very familiar to every Mormon. Every Mormon character in every Tillerman novel is a puritanical hypocrite, outwardly pious but inwardly conniving.
Romney is a squish on healthcare and guns, but he’s far more conservative than either McCain, but ultimatlely I think Romney is our Al Smith. Great guy, Unfortunately, he won’t win. Good for Mormons, bad for the conservative movement.
Right now, I think a Thompson/Romney ticket would be great. Fred’s rock-ribbed conservatism married to Romney’s discipline. Would be great for both and ease people into a Romney presidency, but it ain’t looking likely.

You may be right. I absolutely hate it, but if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
I think Romney is a pandering flip flopper…but I’d touch the area of the screen where his name is if I have too.
It looks like we’re in for some tough financial times around the bend, and he might just be the right man for the job in that respect.
At least we don’t have to worry too much about Juanita and Huck anymore.
Dorvillian on January 15, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Why would anyone expect Romney to have any class? He transparently reinvented himself on nearly every issue within the past 2 years in order to run for the Presidency. I fully expect shameless behavior on his part.
Big S on January 15, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Great opportunity for Fred now in South Carolina. Gotta do well. He is certainly drawing much larger crowds.
Gatordoug on January 15, 2008 at 10:38 PM
I disagree. First of all, Fred! is done, so that’s not even worth discussion… but the point about getting “a black guy” to play that card against Obama would be as disgusting as nominating Huckabee because he’s Christian (obviously these are two different issues, vp vs. nominee, I’m just talking about how shameful each act would be). Secondly, I like JC Watts’ politics (from what I’ve heard) but I’ve got to say, he doesn’t come off as the brightest guy, where as despite Obama’s lack of specificity on ANYTHING, and he’s more of a Hollywood candidate than a real idea guy, he comes off as relatively intelligent and well spoken. I’ve seen Watts on Hannity & Colmes, etc. a number of times and I don’t think he comes off that well at all… Similar to the way a lot of Bush’s policies were right (until shamnesty, etc.) but he always sounds like a retard when he talks. Watts would be a BAD decision, and that choice would be for the wrong reasons.
At least beg Condi if you’re going for the black (and woman!) thing, even though I still think doing things that way is wrong… But Condi, I believe, transcends race anyway… Then again she (and Bush) pissed me off when they jumped on the “global warming” bandwagon earlier this year.

Mitt steps on McCain’s Concession [David Freddoso]
It certainly wasn’t a mistake. If this had been a race that ends here tonight — say, a governor’s race — it would be awful. But Mitt played the brass-knuckles game here. It’s to be expected.
The race isn’t over yet. Romney is still well behind McCain in South Carolina — why let him look gracious in defeat when you can give your victory speech and pre-empt a free-media opportunity for your opponent? Yeah, maybe it looks mean, but this is what you do if you want to win. Politics isn’t about making friends.

What, are you kidding? You obviously haven’t listened to either one speak at length or you wouldn’t be saying that. JC speaks knowledgably in specifics and is as eloquent as barry. When barry speaks in specifics he sticks his foot in his mouth and sounds like the idiot that he is. edwards is smarter than barry and he’s a moron.

I agree that Mitt shouldn’t have stepped on McCain’s speech, but at least on Fox, McCain also stepped up and began speaking before Huckabee was done.
Good for the goose…?
I’d have rather seen each wait his turn and give the other fellow his chance to have his say. A little mutual respect might lessen the personal animosity that risks damaging unity behind the final Republican choice, whoever it may be.

Watts was an early supporter of Thompson. He’s also a Baptist minister who might heal any potential rifts in the GOP from the Huckabee meltdown.
As for his smarts, he’s a succesful businessman and the OK GOP practically begged him to run for govenor last cycle.
billy on January 15, 2008 at 11:08 PM
Check the video in the other thread. McCain pre-empted Huckabee and then Romney pre-empted McCain. It looks more like a case of fouled up timing than a plot imho.

Perhaps I was unclear, or you misread me, but I DON’T think Barry speaks clearly AT ALL on specifics (which is why he’s been successful – he doesn’t answer tough questions or give specific plans)… BUT he is a much better speaker IN GENERAL. I’m sorry, but JC Watts just doesn’t come of that well whenever I’ve heard him speak, regardless of his views. It’s just like the old Bush (after 9/11, etc.) He may have been right on a lot of stuff, but he still sounds like a retard when saying “ticket counters and airlines will fly outta Ronald Reagan airport” or “you’re workin’ hard to put food on yer family”, etc.
I never questioned his intelligence… I’m talking about perception, which is generally all that matters (sadly).

Just look at the resume this guy has. He is uniquely qualified. He’s high energy, a big thinker, a nerd for data, a great speaker and negotiator, ethical, and has never left a job in worse shape than when he took it because he gets stuff done. Are people this afraid of the culture shock this country would have by having Mitt Romney as President?

I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but I am losing my fighting spirit. This election is starting to depress me. What happens to the war on terror on 1-20-09. I hate to be a one issue voter, but I can’t help it. I know I am one of the very few on this site who supports Rudy for POTUS. That is cool, I do not mind being in the minority. I agree with a lot of the crticism that most of you have for Rudy. I just do not understand why no one will give him much of a look when compared to the rest of the GOP field. RINO’s abound in the GOP this election cycle. What exactly is everyone concerned Rudy, as opposed to the Democrats, will do that scares you. Hopefully the eventual Dem President working in concert with Reid, and Pelosi will continue the open borders policy, and sanctuary cities, full on attack on Religion in the public square. And my favorite hope of all would be a full four year assault on the 2nd amendment by the libs. That is what everyone is worried Rudy is going to do right?

Chakra Hammer on January 16, 2008 at 12:31 AM
Huge win for Mitt, not as much for the “win” itself but this give Mitt the MSM expose they’ve been holding back on. A lot of Americans don’t even know who Romney is because the dems and McAmnesty get all the (free) press.
Big thing to consider…before those of us on the right complain about the field of candidates, think of what the dems choices are.
Republicans, as a whole, are pretty darn smart. We will see through Huck’s idiodic ideas and gravitate towards a candidate that is more in line with our values. Fred might be the most conservative overall but we must also consider who is also the most electable against the left. Let’s not crucify a very formidable candidate just because he’s not everyone’s first choice because it could come back to haunt us down the road when our enemies (the domestic ones) need ammunition.
Romney/Thompson…Powerhouse ticket

Mcguyver on January 16, 2008 at 12:37 AM
I like it. I’m more of a Fredhead myself, but he’s kinda sinking. It would give Romney a good solid conservative to counter his former liberal tendencies.
I think Romney is palatable to the general public once it comes to a general election. He’s a great speaker, good looking and very likeable. He can do well. Heck he only had around 5% of the Republicans in the summer… here we are in January and he’s been the only candidate to score in the top 2 every primary. Imagine what he can do by next November?
I’m not throwing my vote behind him now, but he is definetely better than McCain or the Huck
Luckedout on January 16, 2008 at 12:40 AM
Methinks Huckabee, like Rudy, is done…they just don’t know it yet.
Even if the libs “polluted” Michigan, I am glad McCain came in a “distant” second.

Anyway, watch Huck and McCain go even more negative on gentleman Mitt… they’ve got nothing else to offer up — no policies that make sense and no standing conservative credentials. Add to the fact that Romney is highly intelligent and can speak better to the economy (the BIG issue of the moment) then McCain or the former governor of Trailer Park Heaven… should be entertaining.

Hollowpoint on January 16, 2008 at 1:04 AM
I am not optimistic about Fred’s chances on Saturday and it really hurts to say this but once he is gone I am looking at Romney. Funny thing is that a lot of my friends are split between Fred and Rudy. Mitt’s just too slick is the common response. Truth is, Rudy isn’t pandering too much but he is so far left I can’t even begin to imagine him as a substitute for Fred. If Mitt stays true to his campaign and governs as a conservative then a vote for him will have been worth it. Now that the final hours of Fred’s campaign* are ticking down I have come to realize Mitt will be my man.
*Miracles are pretty rare.
Bill C on January 16, 2008 at 1:27 AM
He’s HuckaToast now. The only scenarios I see for SC are McCain, Romney, and Fred. While I’m pulling for Fred, I could in good faith vote for McCain or Romney in the general election. Sure, McCain would be my last choice on that list, but the most important issue to me is the WOT, and he’s gold in that dept.
I’m still hoping the Fredmentum will carry SC and change the whole dynamic of this race.

Rudy isn’t as liberal as he is being portrayed by his opponents and his opponents supporters right now in this race.
All of these so called liberal positions can be explained, but nobody wants reason and logic they want good pander and red meat.
Fred says he’s a federalist and that he’s for states rights, then he.. well nevermind.. people here do not want to seriously debate..
Chakra Hammer on January 16, 2008 at 1:51 AM
Thanks Michigan. I’d rather the winner was Fred, but Mitt’ll do for now to help stop McCain.

Numenorean on January 16, 2008 at 10:16 AM
Thompson/Romney. Romney is the only current GOP candidate that’s somewhat acceptable as a VP and that’s because he’s the lesser of the evils.
Romney the current front-runner until the next primary and then it will switch AGAIN.
