John McCain 3:16 says....

I just kicked Mitt Romney's arse.

God bless America

The extra nudge for McCain?

The extra nudge?

McCain is beating Hillary in FL by 5 and Obama by 7. All other candidates are losing by 8 or 9.

Post Charlie Crist endorsement

Very good news!

Pollster John Zogby: “It is important to note that popular Florida Gov. Charlie Crist endorsed McCain Saturday and campaigned with him Sunday. Sunday alone, McCain had another big day, winning 38% support to Romney’s 31%.

Support vs. BS

McCain opposing timetables:






Romney supporting secret timetables:
(I have yet to hear Romney explain how secret timetables could be kept secret in a country as politically unstable as Iraq).

My. Best. Coined. Phrase. EVAH.

Everyone fears McCain (Especially the Democrats)

Fear the Jmac!

Who REALLY won Florida in 2000

Interesting read from factcheck.org.

Answer: No one seems to know

McCain Derangement Syndrome

David Brooks just used the phrase McCain Derangement Syndrome. I love it.

So I Google it to see just how many hits it has: 33,000! I know that's a big increase from the last time I Googled it. Just don't know how big. But this is certainly interesting! McCain Derangement Syndrome stands on its own in comparison to Bush Derangement Syndrome.

UPDATE:
Had Mark Levin didn't read my blog this morning he'd know just how prevalent McCain Derangement Syndrome is. But alas, he's never heard of it:

I strongly oppose McCain's nomination, but I don't hate him. And I had not heard this phrase "McCain Derangement Syndrome" until Brooks dropped it into his column.

Mark, this is the curse of the "professional conservative" Pay attention.

Duncan Hunter tips his hand

Maybe McCain, maybe Huckabee. Definitely NOT Mitt Romney.

Take that conservative elites.

Romney steps in it... BADLY

Ankle Biting Pundits

Yesterday, on “Fox News Sunday,” using his most up-to-date talking points, Romney claimed to be an outside-the-Beltway candidate, by contrast with John McCain, “who has been in Washington all [his] life.”

Romney might have paused before charging McCain with being a prisoner of Washington. In the late 1960s and early 70s, while Romney was a missionary in France and a law and business student at Harvard, McCain wasn’t living the good life here in the nation’s capital. He was “tied up at the time,” as he once reminded the audience in a Republican candidates’ debate, tied up and perhaps reciting to himself lines from “Invictus.”

If McCain wasn’t a man in Vietnam, then Romney has never owned a pair in his entire life.

Chicks Dig Battle Scars

You gotta love it:

Daily Kos For Mitt Romney!

Obama and Edwards aren't on the ballot and they know Mitt will lose the general. McCain is enjoying a lead in Michigan. This would be a sad day indeed if they can pull this one off.

Fun with exit polls

Which ONE of these four candidate qualities mattered most in deciding how you voted today?

Says what he believes(29%)
John McCain 53%
Mitt Romney 13%

Ouch!

McCain wins New Hampshire!

McCain pulled a Joe Namath when he vowed to win New Hampshire two months ago. At 16%, he was running a distant third. He had half the supporters home town hero Mitt Romney had. In the end, McCain wooed a record turnout to help catapult him to a 6% win. Had it been a closed primary, he still would have won. The phoenix from Arizona rose from the ashes.

It was beautiful.

WSJ Tips it's hand

Wall Street Journal:

It is cruel to compare the senator to most of his Republican competitors.

Beautiful.

Camp Mitt even flip flops on signs

David Brooks: Romney can't win.

This one is sure to send ripples throughout the blogosphere:

money quote: (is this just because I watched 'Swingers' last night?)

The leaders of the Republican coalition know Romney will lose. But some would rather remain in control of a party that loses than lose control of a party that wins.

Mitt has outspent every other candidate -Republican and Democrat- combined in Iowa and is STILL weaker in an Iowa general match-up than McCain and Huckabee. For weeks elites have turned a blind eye to Romney's electability problem and yet they play the FUD card all day long on Huckabee's electability.

Now it all clicks...

UPDATE:
Andrew Sullivan eerily agrees.
