comMITTed to Romney!

Read the whole thing. Here are some choice quotes:

In 2000, running against George W. Bush and the entire Carroll Campbell machine in South Carolina, John McCain got 42% of the vote, and 240,000 votes out of 573,000 or so cast.

Tonight, he got 33% of the vote in a field where his top challengers—Romney and Giuliani—aren’t even running, and 135,000 actual votes. If just the same people who voted for McCain in 2000 had voted for him today, he would have won 50+% of the South Carolina vote. That would have been truly impressive.

Instead, John McCain LOST the support of 100,000 people—and he’s the winner?

McCain had the same “success” in New Hampshire (McCain, 2000: 48%, 116,000 votes; McCain 2008: 37%, 89,000 votes) and Michigan (2000: 50%, 600,000 votes; 2008: 30%, 257,000 votes).

According to the MSM……If Romney doesn’t win Iowa, he’s toast………If Romney doesn’t win Wyoming, he’s toast……..If Romney doesn’t win New Hampshire, he’s toast……..If Romney doesn’t win Michigan, he’s toast………If Romney doesn’t win Nevada, he’s toast……If Romney doesn’t win,…… oh, never mind, but you just wait until he has to face the Democrats in the Fall.

Sure.

Updated delegate count:

Romney——72

And now it’s on to Florida and let’s win there!

Here’s another example of why Rush Limbaugh is the undisputed King Of Talk Radio. Rush has the platform to say to 20,000,000 people what we conservatives talk about with friends and family.

This is Disa in Redmond, Oregon, I’m glad you waited. Nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.

CALLER: Hi. I’m glad to be on. Hey, I am livid over that comment I just heard that guy say. First of all, Romney is a sincere guy, and, you know, the media hates him, and that is clear. It is a miracle he is doing as good as he’s doing right now. I have heard over and over again, “He didn’t win Iowa, he’s out. He didn’t win New Hampshire, he’s out.” It is a miracle. He has gotten first and second in everything. It is a miracle he’s doing what he does with them against him like that. Okay, he can turn things around. He is one of the sharpest guys I’ve ever known. This man can analyze — he goes to a company, what does he do? He analyzes it, he says, “Okay, what’s going wrong, why isn’t this company working?” He sees what’s wrong. He cuts the waste and he increases productivity. Okay, this guy is amazing. If this guy wins the Republican nomination, he’ll take us to the White House, and no one else will, because, you know what, McCain is not a conservative. Huckabee, he should be a vice presidential candidate for the Democrats, okay? He’s a nice guy, but he is a liberal, okay, they can get some of the religious vote if they take him as a vice presidential candidate. I’m sorry. Am I getting too excited?

RUSH: No. I love women who are excited, especially when they’re talking to me.

Below is an example of Rush cutting through the liberal fog to call them out on their attempts to manipulate this election.

CALLER: — the real thing is, I like him.

RUSH: Disa.

CALLER: Yes. Sorry.

RUSH: No, no, no, no, no. Don’t apologize. Your instincts here are exactly right. I want to go further. I want to tell you what this is really all about to help your blood pressure levels. The media, in propping up Huckabee and McCain, I don’t care if they’re Republicans or Democrat Drive-Bys, they’re trying to destroy the conservative movement. This is why they are salivating over the possibility that Huckabee might have gotten the nomination. They think they could take out two of their biggest enemies in one election, conservative Christians and the evangelical vote, and they would love that. I’ve had a number of these Drive-Bys confirm that to me. Same thing with McCain. They just despise conservatives, period. They despise conservative leaders, people that have a chance to lead and govern with conservative policies, because the big target of conservatives is Big Government, and that’s God to these people! We’re going after their savior. Liberalism, if you look at it like a religion, God is their temple, abortion is their sacrament. And conservatives go after both of those things. And they’ve got to be destroyed. So, of course, they’re going to prop up a guy like McCain. Of course, McCain’s gone out and tried to make the Drive-By Media his base, not Republican voters. It’s no surprise to me McCain didn’t win Michigan. Republicans aren’t going to vote for him. The two primaries where he came close and won, independents and Democrats are voting.

When McCain won New Hampshire by 5% (37% for him vs 32% for Mitt) the AP headline read: “McCain wins in New Hampshire, where he bet it all” (incidentally, if you look at the top bar of your Internet browser it reads “McCain Triumphs Where He Bet It All.”

The contrast . . . When Romney won Michigan by nearly 10% and nearly 100,000 votes the AP headline reads: “Romney Edges McCain to Win Michigan”
And if that’s not bad enough, check out the lead paragraphs to those AP articles . . .

McCain:

John McCain rode the Straight Talk Express straight into first place in New Hampshire, and back into the thick of the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

”I hate to use to the word kid, but I think we showed the people of this country what a real comeback looks like,” the Arizona senator told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday, savoring victory . . .

Another AP article about McCain’s NH win leads with:

CONDORD, N.H. (AP) — Arizona Sen. John McCain won the New Hampshire Republican primary Tuesday night, completing a remarkable comeback and climbing back into contention for the presidential nomination.

“We showed the people of this country what a real comeback looks like,” McCain told The Associated Press in an interview as he savored his triumph. “We’re going to move on to Michigan and South Carolina and win the nomination.”

The Arizona senator rode a wave of support from independent voters to defeat former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, a showing that reprised his victory in the traditional first-in-the-nation primary in 2000.

It was a bitter blow for Romney, who spent millions of dollars of his own money in hopes of winning the kickoff Iowa caucuses and the first primary — and finished second in both.

Now the contrast to the AP article linked to above about Romney’s Michigan victory:

DETROIT (AP) - Mitt Romney scored his first major primary victory Tuesday in his native Michigan, a win he desperately needed to give his weakened candidacy new life and set the stage for a wide-open Republican showdown in South Carolina in just four days.

Romney was the third Republican victor in the first four states to vote in the 2008 primary season, further roiling a volatile nomination fight that lacks a clear favorite.

No agenda there, eh?

Then they have the audacity to give McCain the last word in the AP article about Romney’s win!

McCain said he had called Romney to congratulate him “that Michigan welcomed their native son with their support.”

“Starting tomorrow, we’re going to win South Carolina, and we’re going to go on and win the nomination,” McCain declared, also in an AP interview.

Yes folks, McCain got more quoted words/sentences in the AP article about Romney’s MI win than Romney himself did. Shameless.

I’ve blogged before that McCain’s resurgence in NH and nationally has been a completely media created, directed, and propagated affair. I repeat my questions here:

Which do you think will have a better chance in the general election . . . the one who’s a front-runner DESPITE the MSM coverage or the one(s) that’s a challenger BECAUSE of the MSM coverage? I think the answer to that is clear. I’d want the guy who’s truly battle-tested.

Lest there be any doubt, that guy is Mitt Romney!

This just in, more dirty tricks from Romney opponents desperate to stop the leader in delegate count and the candidate at the top of the national polls.

POLITICO.COM

By: Jonathan Martin

From Romney’s Michigan state Director Jason McBride in an e-mail to state supporters:

Dear Michigan Voter,

The focus of this election has now turned to Michigan. In the coming days, each Republican campaign will be engaged in an intense effort to make contact with each potential voter. Yet, while some will engage in an effort to turn out their vote, third party groups will be engaged in a campaign to discourage the supporters of their opponents. Based upon reports from Iowa and New Hampshire, you should expect:

Anonymous E-Mails Or Fake E-Mails: In both Iowa and New Hampshire, voters received emails that appeared to be coming from Romney for President but were actually meant to suppress support for Gov. Romney. In both states, voters received email messages from “Team Romney” touting the endorsement of the Log Cabin Republicans. The truth is that the Log Cabin Republicans have launched attack ads against Gov. Romney. They do not support the governor and oppose his strong defense of traditional marriage in America.

Nuisance Calls: In New Hampshire, Romney supporters received calls from California numbers late at night. The callers claim to be Romney staffers. These “staffers” will call back time and again late at night. These calls are intended to reflect poorly upon Gov. Romney and his campaign. We are committed to nothing but professionalism.

Push Polling: In both Iowa and New Hampshire, voters received out-of-state calls from supporters of Gov. Mike Huckabee claiming to run an impartial survey. However, once a voter identified themselves as a Romney supporter, they were subjected to negative information about the governor. The information received is patently false.

Following are results of a CNN exit poll conducted in New Hampshire Tuesday among 1,520 voters. Though these results reflect the fact that the majority of voters chose McCain and Romney, there are some very interesting differences, especially where Romney ended ahead of the winner, McCain:

Republican Voters (”Vote by party ID” — excludes independents) chose:

MR — 35%
JM — 34%
MH — 13%
RG — 10%
.
.
All voters chose their candidate as the “Strongest Leader” — This measures the strength of the voters’ choice (in other words, which candidate got the most votes in this category by comparison to the others?):

MR — 86%
MH — 84%
JM — 81%
RG — 55%
.
.
Voters of New Hampshire that strongly oppose civil unions:

MR — 37%
JM — 32%
MH — 11%
RG — 6%
.
.
Very worried about Terrorism:

MR — 39%
JM — 33%
MH — 12%
RG — 10%
.
.
Voters that think the new President should be more conservative than President Bush:

MR — 35%
JM — 31%
MH — 13%
RP — 10%
.
.
The following result was stunning to me. John McCain, the military man came in third! Even McCain supporters are less sold on McCain by comparison to the other voters. And Giuliani 4th at 58%? What about his “9/11″ credentials?
All voters chose their candidate as the “Best Commander in Chief” — This measures the strength of the voters’ choice (in other words, which candidate got the most votes in this category by comparison to the others?):

MR — 94%
MH — 89%
JM — 78%
RG — 58%
.
.
Conservative Voters chose:

MR — 38%
JM — 30%
MH — 12%
RG — 8%
.
.

Check the gap here between Governors Romney and Huckabee:

Very Conservative Voters chose:

MR — 43%
MH — 19%
JM — 18%
RP — 7%
.
.
Voters that think this candidate shares their values:

MR — 38%
MH — 22%
JM — 16%
RP — 12%

See link in the opening paragraph for many more results. These are but few of many very interesting numbers. Governor Romney was the strongest candidate in many of the voters’ minds.

Thanks to John Cronin for the current delegate count, which Mitt leads. But let’s also try this with an Olympics theme. USA! USA!

Current medal count on the GOP 2008 Winter Games, in order:

Mitt: 1 gold (WY), 2 silvers (IA, NH)
Huck: 1 gold (IA), 1 bronze (NH)
McCain: 1 gold (NH)

Mitt also leads the popular vote counting only IA and NH (couldn’t find the info for WY, which should add significantly to his lead). While McCain’s win is impressive for his comeback from the dead, he’ll start getting real scrutiny once the charm wears off. I find it hard to anoint him the GOP nominee just yet with just one win under his belt, particularly with the name recognition in NH and having carried it decisively in 2000. I believe his margin of victory tonight was by less than he beat GW back then.

USA! USA!

Lessons Learned?

If I had to cite lessons learned, I’d focus on the last few days in NH where I think Mitt was making a rebound before time ran out. Here is my sense as a true lay observer:

1. The debates helped. Why? Piling on didn’t look good for John, even though he came out the victor tonight. And in the 2d debate the press was uniformly positive, I think because Mitt stayed on his message. People seem to want to connect with him, and he succeeded in that 2d debate.

2. Mitt seemed to “find his voice” (to use his term). Again he started connecting with people. Mitt just seems too good to be true to some. It seems the best way to combat that is to let them get to know you personally; put yourself out there and stir real emotion (remaining presidential, of course).

3. As Mitt stayed on message about change and fixing Washington, people seemed to see someone they could vote for, instead of someone they’re less likely to vote against.

4. The main stream media is mostly just looking for a story. That may not sound like a revelation, but I personally don’t think the press is always biased (okay, Jonathan Martin at the Politico seems to be). The focus just goes to the “story”: Obama’s charisma, John McCain’s resurrection, Hillary’s tears; etc. Mitt needs to find a positive story (perhaps a decisive win in Michigan!) for them to report on. Comebacks seem to attract attention (McCain has had one, Huckabee has had one, Obama has had one, Clinton has had one–now it’s our turn).

Bottom line from the above: I think Mitt’s got a great, positive message he can continue to deliver and I’d encourage him to get out there and deliver it passionately, like we know he can. There’s a reason the National Review chose him: his positions on all the issues, which I know he believes in. And we shouldn’t necessarily look for any breaks from the media, nor take it too personally if they’re negative. It’s kind of like the refs in a sports contest: you can’t complain about them, you just have to play through it and give them something good to talk about.

The Independent Factor

The thought was Independents would pile on for Obama, but perhaps they went to McCain instead, thinking Obama had it in the bag. Here’s a quote from CNN tonight:

exit polls showed 37 percent of those who cast a Republican ballot Tuesday identified themselves as independents, and McCain got the votes of 39 percent of them, compared with 27 percent for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who finished second Tuesday. Romney and McCain were almost even among those who identified themselves as Republicans, with 33 and 34 percent, respectively”

While it’s clear McCain got more of them, I wonder where the rest went (only 66% of Independents voting Republican are accounted for above). In any event one final takeaway from this is not to get too cocky about Obama’s ability to draw Independents, or to even beat Hillary. Some good news in that is that the Democratic race may be as lengthy as the GOP race. Some had said a long fight in the GOP after the Dems had already anointed their candidate would favor the Democrats. Even more good news–Republican turnout was quite high in NH as well, meaning the GOP is paying attention, as we all know they should. And to repeat, with all the record turnout, MITT LEADS THE POPULAR VOTE.

USA! USA!

This is a great post:

http://www.redstate.com/blogs/a_texan/2008/jan/07/why_this_fredhead_is_supporting_romney_tomorrow
 
This Fredhead is supporting Romney tomorrow. I have been a supporter of Fred Thompson, with varying degrees of enthusiasm, for nine months now. I support him because he is the most solid, most throughtful representative of the broad conservative coalition that is the key to Republican victory in November. Indeed, it is the unity in this coalition that an essential defense of each of its elements, not only in the upcoming election, but in the years to come.
All conservatives—whether they be interested in conserving our national security against the threat of jihadism, conserving our economy and property-rights against increasing taxes, spending, and regulation, conserving parental rights, traditional marriage, and the rights of unborn children to merely live, conserving our right of self-government against judicial activism, or conserving our national integrity and sovereignty against waves of illegal immigration–face a grave threat from the current leaders of the Democratic Party.
The current leadership of the Democratic Party is campaigning on a radical platform of retreat-and-defeat in the Battle of Iraq, increased taxation, increased federal spending, increased federal regulation, opposition to any protection for the unborn, enthusiasm for activist judges, and indifference, or even hostility, to securing our borders. They are ahead in the polls. If current trends continue, they will control both the Presidency and both houses of Congress. Such a result will deliver a serious blow to all elements of the conservative coalition.
Still, I am not supporting Thompson in tomorrow’s primary. And were I blessed to be a citizen of New Hampshire, I would vote for Romney, for the following reasons.
1. Romney is also a thoughtful representative of the broad conservative coalition, even though he has not been so for very long.
2. Thompson is unlikely to win the nomination, so it is extremely important that a viable alternative endure.
3. None of the other candidates credibly represent the broader conservative coalition. Certainly not Huckabee, certainly not Giuliani. McCain kinda-sorta does, but he has a LONG history of advancing policies and making statements that indicate indifference, if not hostility, to various elements of the coalition.
4. A Romney loss might be the beginning of the end for him. And with Thompson remaining a long shot–even in South Carolina (where he’s a distant fourth in current polling), the race will effectively come down to McCain, Huckabee, and Giuliani.
5. Thompson will not be materially weakened by losing what little support he currently has in New Hampshire. He has publicly declared himself all but out of the race in New Hampshire. He will retain whatever viability he still has to make his stand, perhaps his last stand, in South Carolina.
So, I ask all New Hampshire conservatives, especially any Fredheads up there, to strongly consider casting a ballot for Governor Romney tomorrow.

Anybody nervous out there? I am.

I really want Governor Romney, his team, and all his amazing, dedicated volunteers to experience a win in New Hampshire today. So for all of them, all of you, and for me — I am nervous.

I am feeling good vibes. Any of you remember the film Kelly’s Heroes when Sutherland is standing with his body out of a tank, going through that tunnel yelling, “No negative vibes! Only positive vibes!” ? All right, I just dated myself.

Check out this great post by Hewitt today. Hewitt always thinks through the issues in a very thorough way, always looking to the long-term. I think his analysis here is spot-on. Click here to read it:

With Obama looking to suck a number of independents away from John McCain today, it’s of utmost important for Republicans to come out and vote for Mitt. With the leading Democratic candidate preaching change and unity, we need our own uniter, someone who inspires us to be better and to find solutions to problems. John McCain has been in the Senate for over two decades and has had his chance, but has proven to be more a divider than a uniter. With red states barely outnumbering blue states in 2000 and 2004, we’ll need the entire party to keep the White House.

McCain has a reputation as being difficult to get along with and, as was demonstrated in the debates, is sometimes downright nasty. He makes as many enemies as he does friends. He’s not a uniter, and that will become clear as the campaign progresses.

But today NH Republicans can take their party back from their Independent neighbors and pick Mitt as the candidate. Mitt’s conservative record on tax cuts, immigration, balancing the budget, family values and smaller government make Mitt the man who can unite the whole GOP. He’s been endorsed by Robert Bork because Mitt supports strict constructionist judges who’ll support the 2d amendment and avoid creating new legislation out of the Constitution. He’s been endorsed by the National Review because he’s the best overall candidate. I believe Mitt is also a contender to unite the country (just listen to the weekend’s debates–no one else kept their cool, stuck to issues or inspired like Mitt did), and the best counter-argument to Obama. Get out today and vote. And show the country the GOP’s approach with limited government and free market answers is still what the people want, and not Obama’s turn to the left.

Last night I called David Schmidt of Pauma Valley, CA (San Diego County) who had made get-out-the-vote-calls to New Hampshire all night. By the way, David recruited at least five others to make the calls with him from California.

He told me that most of those he contacted had received numerous candidtate calls. One in particular stood out. An Italian-American said he had 11 children, 7 were registered voters and that he was still undecided [side note: I sat next to David last week in Iowa and witnessed his amazing ability to convert votes].

He engaged the man in a thoughtful discussion and by the end, the man said he was definitely going to vote for Governor Romney and that he would make sure all seven of his voting children did as well.

That is the power of grassroots.

Here is part of a post from Peter Porcupine who is helping out in New Hampshire:

…

One of the most interesting visitors was Congressman Tom Tancredo. While Porcupine was aware that he had endorsed Mitt, he was very surprised to see his trim demeanor at the Manchester HQ…

…

Congressman Tancredo was there to do an endorsement along with Sheriff Joe Arpaio, of Maricopa County Arizona, who had a few things to say on the subject of illegal immigration and his own Senator’s failure to respond - not just this year, but for many years. Illegal immigration is a tremendously hot issue, so naturally, there was no word in the mainstream media about these endorsements.

What was the overall demeanour? Since Porcupine was calling ‘undecided’ voters, he frequently said that he was sorry to be another annoying political phone call, and that they must be getting hammered. Usually, they laughed and agreed, and Porcupine pointed out that was what they got for being first in the nation. Some were intrigued that Porcupine had worked on the State House staff while Mitt was Governor, and had some specific questions; primarily, Porcupine vouched for the fact that Mitt is a decent and intelligent man, and that if Government needs anything at all right now, it’s a big infusion of ’smart’.

But one call was most memorable - a woman, aged 82, was very upset that all of the GOP candidates struck her as weak on the Second Amendment. Porcupine asked if she would not agree that the salvation of the right to bear arms would be the Supreme Court rather than legislation. She did agree, and Porcupine asked her if she knew that Judge Robert Bork had endorsed Mitt Romney, calling him the best choice to appoint strict constructionist Justices to the Court. She had NOT known that, and was very excited. “I’ll tell my whole gun club!”, she cried. And that is how the boiler room works - changing one mind at a time, and helping to win elections bit by bit.

As always, this article by Peggy Noonan is excellent. Click here to read the entire article online:

PEGGY NOONAN — Out With the Old, In With the New — Obama and Huckabee rise; Mrs. Clinton falls — Friday, January 4, 2008

[emphasis below is mine]

But there are two problems. One is that while the presidency, as an office, can actually make real changes in the areas of economic and foreign policy, the federal government has a limited ability to change the culture of America. That is something conservatives used to know. Second, I’m sorry to say it is my sense that Mr. Huckabee is not so much leading a movement as riding a wave. One senses he brilliantly discerned and pursued an underserved part of the voting demographic, and went for it. Clever fellow. To me, the tipoff was “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?”

My sense is that Mr. Huckabee’s good supporters deserve a better leader.

His next problem may be not so much New Hampshire as Ed Rollins, the Reagan White House political aide who came in a week ago to manage his campaign. Mr. Rollins began his tenure announcing to respectful young reporters that he–”the grizzled veteran,” the “old battler”–would like to sink to his knees and “shoot Romney in the groin” and “punch his teeth out.” Such class is of course always welcome on the trail, but one senses the verbal ante will constantly be upped, and I’m not sure that will work well for Mr. Huckabee. Self inflated dirigibles, especially unmoored ones, can cast shadows on parades.

Am I the only person using the word “slimy” when discussing the Huckabee/Rollins ploys?

As I watched the NH primary coverage tonite and saw the video of Hillary tearing up as she talked about the stress of the campaign trail, I couldn’t help but reminisce about the wild ride that the Clinton’s have taken us all on during their time on the political stage.

I remember watching Bill Clinton address the Democratic Convention in 1988. I had heard the name several times, but at that time I had never heard him speak. I remember thinking, “So this is that Southern governor I have been hearing about.” He had a very average speaking style, and it seemed to me that he mostly just strung platitudes together and gave long, “meaningful” looks at his audience. One of the things that struck me about that speech was how Bill Clinton loved the sound of his own voice. He droned on and on and toward the end, the Democratic delegates were booing and heckling him! Did that cause him to bring the speech to a swift solution? No way. If the audience had eggs and tomatoes available, I am sure they would have flung them at the Governor.

Imagine my surprise, when four years later the Left, aided and abetted by the MSM, foisted this same Bill Clinton upon an unsuspecting public!

Draft dodging, “loathing the military”, smoking but “not inhaling”, trying to define “what ‘is’ is”, Gennifer Flowers, “don’t ask, don’t tell”, Janet Reno, firing cruise missiles at aspirin factories, Monica Lewinski, “I feel your pain”, impeachment, last minute pardons of a rogues’ gallery of campaign contributors and police characters, these are and will remain Bill Clinton’s legacy.

As we begun the campaign a year ago Hillary Clinton looked formidable. The heir apparent of the White House by virtue of the backing of the vaunted “Clinton Machine”, what then appeared to be virtually limitless cash,the darling of the Hollywood glitterati and the recipient of mostly glowing articles by the liberal press, it didn’t seem possible that anyone could snatch the brass ring from her hand. But that was then and this is now.

One year later the speculation has started to percolate up into the headlines that HRC may be contemplating withdrawing from the race if she gets blown out by O’bama in the NH primary. If these stories turn out to be true and she is forced to withdraw from the race, I will breath a sigh of relief, not because I take any personal pleasure in her situation, but only because I see a threat to the well being of this country thankfully receding.

On a more upbeat note, it was good to see Governor Romney dominate the debate at the FOX forum last night and to see the way the “dial group” was so dramatically converted after viewing the forum. Huckabee looked weak and evasive to me, McCain comes across as arrogant and mean spirited, Rudy and Fred weren’t much of a factor. So that leaves the only “full spectrum conservative” in the race, Gov. Romney, as the candidate best suited to bring change to Washington and to start the process of restoring conservative principles into the way we govern.
