<p>Just keeping up with the tradition after a primary loss. </p>
<p>Thoughts anyone?</p>
<p>(Just too lazy to also start the “Is Guiliani done, cooked and baked” thread as well. Feel free to post thoughts on that here as well)</p>
<p>is Romney done, cooked and baked? well, the long and short of it is… no. </p>
<p>(p.s. i’m pretty confident that he’ll win the presidential election this year)…</p>
<p>“(p.s. i’m pretty confident that he’ll win the presidential election this year)…”</p>
<p>Based on…?</p>
<p>I don’t know, but the $40 million+ of his own money he’s already spent on this campaign keeps me up at night. Honestly.</p>
<p>Not by a long shot. He’s got too much money into this and he has a whole lot more to spend if he wants to. I think he’s in it all the way to the end, and I think he’s going to keep McCain running</p>
<p>Nah, Stick a fork in him.</p>
<p>I’m betting that his illegal alien landscapers that he fired after the first snowstorm will be back mulching his flower beds in April because he’ll have thrown in the towel!</p>
<p>
no concrete evidence… just a hope! 
(keep hope alive, right?)</p>
<p>Ask anyone from Massachusetts if they had a good experience with him as Governor. Can you guess why he didn’t run for reelection. </p>
<p>We simply have no idea what he really believes or what he would do as President because historically his rhetoric has absolutely no bearing on what he actually does. He will say whatever he thinks he needs to say to get elected. Trust this guy at your own peril. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice …</p>
<p>Not to “throw stones” at Bullet, but isn’t the phrase “done cooked and baked” that has been recently applied to most every candidate now, a bit overused? Might we consider a switch to some other cliche?</p>
<p>I don’t follow him too much, but I get the sense that his basic problem is that people just don’t like him. It’s not his positions or his well-spokenness, or his flip-flopping - he just comes across as…well, let’s just say that people don’t like him.</p>
<h1>9. How about, “raw, undercooked and toxic”.</h1>

<p>Last night on the CNN debate they had a group of undecideds monitored (not sure how) for response. Romney CONSISTENTLY got the most favorable response, every single time, scoring in the 70-80 range while ALL the other candidates were around the 50 range most of the time, and McCain dropping VERY low when he got all whiney and nitpicky.</p>
<p>So, at least according to this particular sample, though not necessarily representative, Romney definitely has like-appeal.</p>
<p>Most Americans want US out of Iraq now, or at the very least have a detailed plan for getting out.</p>
<p>McCain has made it clear he will keep us in Iraq for the next century if he has to. I think when push comes to shove- voters are going to have a hard time swallowing that-</p>
<p>I agree. If McCain gets the nomination, he’ll lose to whoever is running against him. No question.</p>
<p>Lealdragon: Romney knows how to answer questions and say anything so that people will like him and vote for him. This is not in dispute. He just says what he wants you to hear. You don’t have to worry until after he’s elected when he gets a new revelation and just rechanges his positions. It’s amazing to me that this guy has ANY credibility. </p>
<p>Trust this guy at your own peril. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice …</p>

<p>We’ve been in Japan and Germany for over 60 years.</p>

<p>Korea too.</p>
<p>Rommy almost seems too smooth, In the bites I’ve seen… I dunno I think this time around people are a bit more comfortable with mccain. It’s like rommy’s a salesman and johnny’s a bit of a grizzled uncle… </p>
<p>I be more inclined to vote for johnny depending how the other side shapes up. What may happen is depending on who gets the demo nod, is a bunch of us in the middle might swing a bit right instead of too far left…</p>
<p>AP is reporting … </p>
<p>"If he fails to capture enough delegates to offset McCain’s likely wins in other states and strong showing in California, where the Arizona senator has the backing of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Romney could end his campaign in Boston on Wednesday.</p>
<p>During a news conference Friday outside a Ford dealership here, he passed up three opportunities to declare he would carry on if he fails to surpass McCain in the Super Tuesday voting."</p>
<p>Nothing would beat a Super Bowl Parade in Boston on Tuesday followed by a Romney withdrawal speech. </p>
<p>While I may have disagreements on specific issues, I believe that the remaining three candidates (McCain, Clinton and Obama) are all highly capable of bringing our nation back from the disaster that was George Dubya Bush. Our nation will rise again.</p>
<p>argh… I’d rather the victory parade not take place on Super Tuesday. I want everyone to be out and voting!</p>
