Does that mean that if Huckabee stays in it, he controls who gets his delegates at the convention? If so, that’s terrible for Mitt, doesn’t that mean that we can just count all of Huck’s delegates in the McCain column?

Probably…BUT…preachers (especially politician preachers) are money ho’s. Mitt could put some money in a silver collection plate and Hucky would swoon.

Of course, that way at the convention he gets to pledge his delegates to whomever tosses his salad.

After Romney loses in CA and the rest of the country tomorrow, can we go back to bashing Dems for a while? Please?

What do you think we’ve been doing? McShamnesty is a democrat.

He did not. There shall be no second look at Paul. The first was bad enough. I would prefer Mitt Con-mey to this nutcase.

Pax americana on February 4, 2008 at 5:21 PM

Yes he did. He won more delegates then Mccain. Over 1/3rd of the Maine delegates are for Paul

Insider Advantage Poll (FWIW) And this trend is evident in a couple of other polls, too.

And I offset one of them with my vote for Mac!

Go California!!! Go Mac!!!

Go Mitt!

Is it possible to win the state but not win the majority of the congressional districts?

bnelson44 on February 4, 2008 at 5:03 PM

Definitely. Romney could rack up huge numbers in right-leaning parts of So Cal and the Central Valley, and still lose districts along the coast and across the north by relatively tiny margins on the Republican side, since in many of those areas implying that you might have voted for Bush, support the war, or maintain doubts about gay marriage and abortion is considered hate speech punishable by loss of employment and heavy fines. If McCain caries 2 out of the 3 remaining Republicans in Santa Monica, for instance, his only problem will be persuading one of them to travel to the convention as a delegate.

Second look at Paul :) He beat Mccain in the Maine caucus

For god’s sake, Allah, don’t call California “Cali”. It grates on the ears of real Californians like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Cali, Cali, Cali /real Californian :-)

By the way, California means “land of the Caliph”

Huck has every right to stay in the race as long as he wants. I recall quite a few Fredheads around here begging Fred to stay in just long enough so they could have the pleasure of pulling the lever for that hunk of man meat. I’m sure Huck supporters are just as committed and want their voices to be heard. Huck is a very different candidate from Mitt and McCain. Those thinking they would all vote for Mitt are fooling themselves.

Hey, if it’s good enough for the rap industry, it’s good enough for me.

…

Among Republicans, McCain has 32 percent followed by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney with 24 percent, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee with 13 percent, and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) with 10 percent. Fifteen percent said they were undecided and 6 percent said they supported other candidates.

The results are based on interviews of 511 likely Democratic primary voters and 481 likely Republican primary voters in California conducted from January 25 to February 1. The margin of error is 4.5 percentage points for Democrats and 4.6 percentage points for Republicans.

Chakra, if Mitt were to make a comeback, are you gonna stick around and let us whip up on you? Surely you won’t tuck your tail and run.

BacaDog on February 4, 2008 at 4:44 PM

Nah, he’d be off the field faster than that Bellachik fellow.

He thinks it benefits Mitt Romney

William Amos on February 4, 2008 at 4:55 PM

Heh.

No we don’t. It’s per district, which means my Republican vote in a Democratic district counts more than usual (making up for the years in which a California vote didn’t count at all). I’ve seen signs up for all of the big four except McCain, for what it’s worth. If Romney can convince blue-district libertarian-leaning Republicans and red-district military and rural voters to vote for him in a slight plurality per district, he could win big. Otherwise, he could lose big.

Lindsey Graham is John McCain with a lower IQ.

I want to slap that silly hillbilly grin of that fool’s face.

Surely you won’t tuck your tail and run.

..back to the D.U.

ftfy

that will give McCain’s opponents in the conservative world more time to press their case.

Uh. Isn’t this Mitt’s job?
