Romney Takes Michigan

[The Deity]

The article is linked above, here are a couple of my favorite snippets:

Romney jumped all over McCain, playing to the fears of voters in a state with the nation's highest unemployment rate. "I've heard people say that the auto jobs are gone and they're never coming back," Romney told his audiences. "Well, baloney, I'm going to fight for every single good job."

Of course, he'd fight for every job. So would McCain, or any future president. But how?

Romney also said he wanted to modify a recently passed measure calling for U.S. vehicle fleets to average 35 miles per gallon by 2020. Well, baloney. Less than three years ago, Romney seemed to champion higher automobile standards. "Almost everything in America has gotten more efficient in the last decade, except the fuel economy of the vehicles we drive," he said in September 2005.

As is often the case with Romney, he has changed his tone, if not his mind.

I find the report spot on about the changeling that is Mitt Romney. Honestly he played on people's fear and lucked out a low number of independents turned out. The Straight Shot express will not be denied

I don't like the guy, he's an idiot. Of course there aren't many Republicans that I do like, well actually there are none.

I'm a republican myself although it doesn't matter what party you belong to at all, it depends on the person you're voting for.

I wish McCain would have won Michigan after he won New Hampshire in order to give him further momentum. I want McCain to win the Republican nomination and run for President.

McCain is the last thing America needs now.

And Romney would be a hundred times batter than that zealot Huckabee.

Who won the democratic side? Was there a democratic election there?

McCain would have won the nomination two years ago. He's changed drastically since then.

I would, it's no secret, prefer Huckabee to Romney.

I can only hope that McCain gets some momentum and keeps pressing on. He's a good candidate for America right now--he's a political moderate who has the most experience with foreign policy. I think he can help clean up our reputation abroad as well as getting this place straightened up domestically.

I would very much have to ask you to explain what you mean when you say such things.
It's your choice if you think McCain would be bad for America, but explain why - as I am a supporter of his and would like to know what's so bad about him - specially compared to the other republican candidates.


Also - Huckabee is not really a zealot, he's mildly religious and preaches to the christian right, but not much.
Romney himself is a mormon, but quite a zealot - not religious wise but conservative wise.
Out of the candidates - most appear to be willing to work out with the other parties. Romney is the opposite, and has trouble even working with fellow moderate republicans.

And Hillary won on the democratic side...

Was there a democratic election there?Short answer's no.

[Irving1992]

Well, Romney was a better mayor here in Massachusetts than Deval right now.

Anywho, I hate politics with a passion. So it doesn't matter what I think.

Still waiting for Yvl to respond...
