Yes!
January 15th, 2008 at 9:04 pmThat’s great news for Dems. Romney hasn’t a chance to beat any Democrat in the general election. McCain, on the other hand, will beat the pants off of Clinton hands down. Against Obama, it will be tougher for McCain but no guarantee for Democrats.
January 15th, 2008 at 9:08 pm#2. Scary thought that.
McCain is nuts. But then again, they all are.
January 15th, 2008 at 9:17 pmOn Mitt, from a Republican blogger:
Demonstrably, he has an IQ statistically significantly different from zero, isn’t demonstrably bonkers aside from his narcissism, and doesn’t actually believe in anything. That’s a big improvement over much of his opposition.
January 15th, 2008 at 9:17 pmWhat choice do people have..?!
A multi millionaire, Romney
January 15th, 2008 at 9:20 pmA preacher, Huckabee
A war monger, McCain
And an opporunist and user of 9/11, Giuliani.
#4..OUCH!!
This says it all:

January 15th, 2008 at 9:20 pmGiuliani, Thompson didnt do well at all..
Thank goodness.
January 15th, 2008 at 9:22 pmLOL – Dems counting their chickens before they are hatched. Romney has an outstanding record on economic success from his own businesses, so as the economy becomes a bigger issue, he continues to rise.
With Romney against any Democrat, his economic policies will trump health care, unions and environment. Good luck with that.
January 15th, 2008 at 9:22 pmThompson is banking on the good old boy SC primary. He could care less about actually working for it than getting it.
Yuck. Creepy. (All of them, actually!)

Ron Paul is beating them!
January 15th, 2008 at 9:27 pmThat’s insane.
And awesome at the same time.

That quote comes from Mark Kleiman. Mark Kleiman is NOT a “Republican blogger” by any stretch of the imagination.
January 15th, 2008 at 9:28 pmFred Thompson is like a tiger laying in the grass waiting to pounce. In his case though, the tiger has fallen asleep.
SUSA just did a poll pitting Clinton, Giuliani and Bloomberg in a presidential election. Hillary won with 61%, Bloomberg came in second, St, Rudy, America’s Mayor! came in third.

Interesting that before Michigan Romney had more delegates (barely) than McCain, but was considered about to collapse. This poll worship (horse race calling) and uber analysis is reprehensible and manipulative. Same for Edwards and Clinton, you’d think they were done from the media and maybe they will be (due to the stampeding the media’s doing). The media is fomenting the racial tensions between Obama and Clinton. I hope the bloggers won’t allow themselves to be a reverb chamber.
January 15th, 2008 at 9:31 pm#10. LOL! Kleiman is anything BUT a GOP blogger.

January 15th, 2008 at 9:36 pmMcCain couldn’t beat Clinton with a whip.
January 15th, 2008 at 9:47 pmLefty, don’t discount the old white guys club.
January 15th, 2008 at 9:48 pmThat quote comes from Mark Kleiman. Mark Kleiman is NOT a “Republican blogger†by any stretch of the imagination.
– - It was sent to me and said it came from Andrew Sullivan. I didn’t have a link just the quote.
January 15th, 2008 at 10:09 pmThank the stars that Huckabible didn’t win. He wants to change the constitution to match the good-book. Isn’t that the christian equivalent of Sharia law? they are a right fu(kin’ scary bunch these repugnicants, eh?
January 15th, 2008 at 10:38 pmTRRiRW, yeah, I am thinking stoning people for eating lobster is probably a bad idea. Huckster didn’t really think that one through.
January 15th, 2008 at 10:43 pmAs #9 points out, the interesting result here is Ron Paul’s showing.
With Paul getting double digits, will the MSM continue to ignore the Republicans’ only candidate against the Iraq War and American Empire?

…and for the disolution of Social Security and every other social service we currently have. If they ignore him, I am all for it.
January 15th, 2008 at 11:05 pmMichigan held an election today and nobody showed up. Well, 20% is close to nobody. http://tpmelectioncentral.com/2008/01/mccain_source_michigan_turnout_low_across_the_board.php
January 15th, 2008 at 11:09 pmDallasNE, there really wasn’t any reason for Dems to turn out…unless it was to mess up Republican polls.
January 15th, 2008 at 11:14 pmgood golly, if I were from Michigan I would have voted uncommitted too, no matter who I was for to protest the party’s treatment of them.
January 15th, 2008 at 11:15 pmAt least 50% of the Dems did not have there candidate on the ballot. I haven’t looked into it much but why the hell was Hillary on the ballot and not Obama or Edwards? I am thinking dirty pool on DLC/Hillary’s part.

If I heard correctly, The Obama and Edwards camps chose not to be involved, based on the Dem. Party decision. Correct me if I have that wrong.
January 15th, 2008 at 11:53 pmGood News! The Rethugs will have to continue to battle with each other.
January 15th, 2008 at 11:55 pmSabyen91,
You’re right, I was looking at the results with only about 10% tallied (enough that Romney was assured victory, but not enough to be accurate with the more marginal results.)
Still, his showing WAS stronger than Gulliani. But guess who’ll still get more regular media coverage??
Paul is the Kucinich of the Republican party — the guy the media is trying to silence before the voters even get a chance to cast their ballots….

If that is true, it appears Edwards and Obama have more honor than Kucinich.
January 16th, 2008 at 12:59 amIt looks like Edwards and Obama decided to stay off the ballot because the Michigan Dem party decided to buck the national Dem party by moving their primary up. There are no delegates so Michigan is worthless this year.
January 16th, 2008 at 1:03 amPOST #2: “Romney hasn’t a chance to beat any Democrat in the general election. McCAIN, on the other hand, will beat the pants off of Clinton hands down.”
Say what? CNN Nationwide Poll, Jan. 10: CLINTON 50%, McCAIN: 48%
Try again.

You are correct. The Michigan Democratic Party moved their primary upto January against DNC rules. All candidates, except Clinton and Kucinich signed a pledge to keep their names off the ballot. I’m thinking Hillary got her name on the ballot just to piss off Howard Dean.
