We have friends who are registered Democrats who have already stated that if Hillary wins they will not vote for her - would definitely consider voting for McCain.

DMG - very true. In recent Real Clear Politics head to head polls McCain does the best.... Romney actually does the worst. I think the best two to face the Democrats would be Huckabee or McCain. Perhaps on a ticket together? I'd like to see Huckabee/McCain, but it looks like a McCain/Huckabee ticket would be more likely. Romney is going to be a hard contender with 72 delagates, but with Super Tuesday who knows? Huckabee was leading in most of the south with Florida being the exception. If those states go his way, and if he can win Florida with Texas being a state he is leading in that will give him a good number of delagates as well. Who knows? I have a feeling the GOP won't have a nominee until the convention, and that it will likely be a brokered convention. I hope I'm wrong though. Jason - stop drinking that kool-aid!

I think each candidate brings something good to the table but winning the nomination is only "pre-season." The GOP needs to nominate the strongest, best possible candidate - one that can go the distance. It will be interesting to see what happens next.

Ron knows what it will take to save our economic well being. He will turn the military industrial complex on its head. Now if only someone would take a stand to end this media consolidation in this country!! And during this election I've realized that Faux News is TRULY a propaganda machine - worse than I thought. I'm a Republican who HATES Fox News.
