January 29, 2008 - 23:18 ET by CT I have nothing but contempt for Guliani at this point and no respect for McCain.

I make no apology for that, if you cant handle that don't read my posts. I've been on this board longer then you and have shown you more respect than I now feel you deserve.

Every time the man uses Reagan's name in vain, my stomach churns, then my blood boils. As for Rudy, I started this process thinking he was the one, with Romney in a close second. That Rudy would endorse McCain makes me question my own sanity. And his! Login or register to post comments Email this page Calling at 55% is like.... January 29, 2008 - 22:35 ET by NavyBuckeye is like watching the Super Bowl and the channel declares the team up at 14:45 in the 3rd quarter the winner. Didn't the media learn from the Presidential election four years ago. On a side note, I really hope the panhandle pulls it out. I really thought the Thompson supporters(such as myself) would rally for Romney. I believe once Rudy pulls out Romney will gain so much more momentum. If not then it is evident that our country is overrun by a bunch of soft bellied pansy middle left liberals who only claim to be Conservative. If everyone that claimed to be victim on a daily baisis donated a dollar to the ending of the deficit, it would be irradicated rather quickly.

I'm guessing Romney. None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free. -J.W. von Goethe Login or register to post comments Email this page You think? I'm not sure. January 29, 2008 - 22:47 ET by Chris Norman You think? I'm not sure. McCain and Rudy do have some things in common - it's just that Rudy didn't seem to revel in being a maverick like McCain. So, maybe Rudy's fiscally conservative/socially liberal voters go to McCain now. Huckabee is probably drawing votes of people who would never vote for a Mormon. Could Florida's large Hispanic population have something to do with McCain's victory there? Haven't seen any results - just asking. Login or register to post comments Email this page Chris, January 29, 2008 - 22:57 ET by R D Helm I heard somewhere that a huge percentage of the Hispanics there are of Cuban ancestry. I have always thought them to be more conservative than Hispanics coming from other areas. I know they were big Reagan supporters in the '80s. Of course, this could be a "what have you done for me lately?" kind of thing, too. I could be wrong, but I cannot believe all of them would vote for McCain. Same for Huckabee supporters, as he is getting a lot of support from the Fair Tax crowd. After Huck practically body-slammed McCain in the debate the other night on the subject, I don't see many of them voting for McCain. At least I would like to think they wouldn't. -Think I'll go pour up another one.
