I hope Romney loses tonight
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 12:32 PM by malaise
just so I can watch his stupid face when that happens.
I don't give a damn which Rethug wins. None of them will win in November anyway.

27. So do I
I can't stomach too many Republicans, (Lincoln Chafee is about the only one I can stand), but I H-A-T-E Mitt Romney..

2. Is There Any Way For All Of Them To Lose?
I wish there was. A vote of no confidence, 9 months before the general election. Now, THAT would be amusing.

28. Perhaps an extremely low turnout..
with no clear winner? I'd love to watch the media spin that.

3. I'm not so sanguine. It would be best if Romney wins - McCain is surging, particularly in NH -
The Dems will probably win in November, sure, but McCain is the best candidate they have (in a crowded field of generally unelectables.)

4. I don't. I want him to get a bounce going in to NH and beat McCain.
McCain would be more problematic for us. Plus, I can't stand Fuckabee, and would like to see his joke of a campaign come to a crushing end tonight.

5. As posted elsewhere, McCain worries me...
Not because he's not just as loony as the rest of them, but he's got the media behind him in a way that will make their love affair with Bush look positively acrimonious. Not that they aren't going to prop up whichever republican wins, but if it's McCain the narrative is already set in stone for them and they'll have to do next to no work to get it to happen.

I wish I could be the eternal optimist like a lot of people on here but my prediction/fear is that McCain is going to get the nod and he will be impossible to beat in November.

8. His pro war stance and the fact that he looks really old
But as Vi5 pointed out, the media loves him.

18. The pro-war stance won't hurt him....
...since the media still loves to portray him as having been some sort of moderate voice on the war rather than the cheerleader he actually is/was.

But the age thing could play a part particularly if the dem nominee is a stark contrast age wise like Obama.

12. Bush sets the fate
And as far as i can see the game is complying with a Romney candidacy that was realistically written off months ago for his terrible performance(which has not changed one iota). He is their stooge. News to me would be whether they can't keep Thompson sleepwalking to the Veep spot where an early grave awaits the crocodile tears of Romney campaign worker, VP Jeb Bush. They had this ticket carved on Mt. Sinai over the deleted Ten Commandments. There is no election if they have any control over matters. The "drama" in defeating the rising Huckabee is also something according to plan. They will pave Romney's path in "victories" over each contestant hatcheted according to the need for the pretense of "victory".

If this varies I will get interested anew in Bush plans(heretofore unexamined by the Abominable SnowedMen
of the media). The only reason Bush is a modest issue in the GOP campaign is a careful litmus test of who will be the most faithful crony. He is not an issue in the Dem as he really should be, because it is this administration that is most clearly their present adversary- not a fake future ticket.

13. Not me--Huckabee will not go all the way. A Romney loss makes it more likely that
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 01:00 PM by book_worm
McCain will be the nominee. And I don't count my chickens before they hatch--meaning that I don't think that a Dem victory is automatic in November and McCain may be the toughest of them all.

14. You should be hoping Huckabee wins.
The GOP establishment does not want a true-believer nutball to actually have any power, and and early win for Huckabee will divert alot of the GOP's media noise machine energy to smearing Huckabee rather than the Dems.

24. That's how it is
Also - Romney is the vast right wing conspiracy's last hope. Any candidate who doesn't belong to them will lose much GOP support in the fall. Plus, Romney is evil. He scares me.

Huckabee would be much more fun.

15. Gee, then there would be no reason why his 5 healthy young sons couldn't serve in the military
Oh, I forgot I was talking about a repuke here. They have too much to live for, they'll just insist others pay for the war.

23. I don't like any of them
...but Romney just totally creeps me out. I watched his campaign appearance on C-SPAN last night, and then heard him take questions from their bus. What a goddamn phony he is. And to hear him trumpet the discredited idea that tax cuts raise revenue made me ill.

He made sure to attack Huckabee and Obama on the bus, and whomever our candidate is you can tell he'd run a nasty, ugly campaign. He feels entitled to the presidency and will claw his way to it no matter how he does it - he reminds me of Bush in this area.
