1. Win, Mitty, Win!
I want you out there spending your ill-gotten gains like there's no tomorrow because, well, in your case their probably IS no tomorrow.

6. I'm no big fan or Mitt, but what's this about "ill-gotten" gains?

20. Well, corporate raiding might not qualify for some as "ill gotten."
It's certainly legal.

But try telling that to the people he laid off.

3. Too bad only Republicans are speaking about Michigan's economy
A beleaguered Michigan may very well go to the Republicans this time.

I hope the "50 states (minus 1)" strategy was worth it! We'll win South Dakota's 3 electoral votes one of these days! :woohoo:

7. Dems would vote for someone from the party of diaper wearing, bathroom cruising, child molesters?
I don't believe it. It wouldn't make any sense. They can barely get other Repigs to come out and vote for them. Why would anyone for that matter waste gas to go out and vote for any of these freaks? I must be missing something here.

11. according to some surveys since there is no competition on Dem side they may
vote on GOP side and would favor McCain.

12. Maybe they don't know about the diaper wearing or the bathroom crusing
You should go tell them.

14. No I think they know all about it
That is why I think Republican turnout was so low in Iowa and NH.

They have pretty much figured out they belong to the party of freaks so they stayed home.

21. People, including Dems, sometimes vote stupidly
Personally, I hope that "uncommitted" gets a lot of votes. Those Repubs can pick any nimrod they want.

13. Not just for us. For the entire world
Not one of these Republican freaks look sane enough to be in control of the nuclear football to me.

At the first Repig debate McCain began bouncing up and down like Yosemite Sam every time death or destruction was mentioned.

Whoa padner!

:scared:

15. The media will love him for that, though
They'll frame it as enthusiasm for protecting America.

9. If Mitt wins Michigan---Guilliani is back in the race for good
He has been planning on no front runner then he is ready
in Fla. knowing he has much better chance in large blue and
purple states.

22. Republican Melt-Down
If each Republican candidate wins one state in rotation (Huckabee, McCain, Mittens, Paul, 9/11 guy...), then their party will tear itself apart. In the WaPo today was an article about how all the Republicans who've run into McCain's temper tantrums and opposition over the years are actively working against his nomination. If no Republican emerges as the clear front-runner, then the party will Balkanize -- Evangies for Huckabee, Isolationuts for Paul, Security Weinies for Giuliani, etc. They'll spend their money and vituperative energy *before* they even get to their convention, weakening their eventual candidate for the general. Let the press scent a loser and they'll be on him like sharks, bringing up all the stuff thrown at him by his own partisans.

30 years in the wilderness for the Republicans isn't too much to ask.
