Mark Steyn at his best on this Super Tuesday:
Forget the gaseous platitudes: in Dem terms, their choice on Super Duper Tuesday was deciding which candidate was Super Duper and which was merely Super. Over on the GOP side, it was a choice between Weak & Divisive or Weaker & Unacceptable. Doesn’t bode well for November.
The big surprise of the night is that the South voted for a Republican who has no chance, and essentially gave the Republican nod to McCain.
Polls, polls, and more polls. Regular readers know I have no faith in any of them, whether they agree with my position or not. But I figured a post on the recent polls couldn’t hurt on a Superbowl Sunday so here ya go.
First, the poll with the largest sampling, therefore the more reliable one, the Reuters/CSpan/Zogby poll, with 1185 Likely Voters, shows Romney leading McCain in California 37% to 34%. Good news.
If you haven’t heard by now here is the bad news. McCain won Florida tonight.
I now see no other scenario where Mitt takes it from him. He will win all the lefty states on the 5th, it sounds like Huckabee will stay in for some freakin reason which will prevent a Mitt vs. John slugfest.
And that will be it.
The Daily KOS has come up with a plan to give Michigan to Mitt Romney, which would keep him alive in the race, by telling Michigan Democrats to vote for Mitt:
With a history of meddling in our primaries, why don’t we try and return the favor. Next Tuesday, January 15th, Michigan will hold its primary. Michigan Democrats should vote for Mitt Romney, because if Mitt wins, Democrats win. How so?
For Michigan Democrats, the Democratic primary is meaningless since the DNC stripped the state of all its delegates (at least temporarily) for violating party rules. Hillary Clinton is alone on the ballot.
But on the GOP side, this primary will be fiercely contested. John McCain is currently enjoying the afterglow of media love since his New Hamsphire victory, while Iowa winner Mike Huckabee is poised to do well in South Carolina.
Meanwhile, poor Mitt Romney, who’s suffered back-to-back losses in the last week, desperately needs to win Michigan in order to keep his campaign afloat. Bottom line, if Romney loses Michigan, he’s out. If he wins, he stays in.
And we want Romney in, because the more Republican candidates we have fighting it out, trashing each other with negative ads and spending tons of money, the better it is for us. We want Mitt to stay in the race, and to do that, we need him to win in Michigan.
The jackass is actually right tho. If Mitt does win Democrats will be in the White House in 2009.
But whats sad is that he is even coming up with this plan. Instead of letting Democracy play itself out he wants to ensure a Democrat victory by cheating. Republicans crossed over in 1972 but it didn’t effect the outcome. Wallace would have won anyways.
That is NOT the case here.
What a sorry state the Democrat party is in.
But, if history is any judge, Democrat schemes usually turn out biting them in the ass. Hopefully this is the case here.
