Gee, that’s a toughie. I’ll go with losers instead. With the field of those running on “Super Tuesday,” no matter who “wins” America loses.

To Right Truth
That is another reason we do not want John McCain in the white house. I am a mental health professional and I do not believe McCain has the right temperament for the job at a time when our leader must be strong in the face of bluster overseas but also well-balanced. McCain comes across as an angry and bitter man that has an axe to grind fueled by a bruised ego. That is dangerous. He may also believe he has to prove his conservatism with an overly muscular display. That concerns me.
I’ve looked closely at all the candidates and find that Romney has the best temperament for the job. I think he will be tough and smart. George Bush with a high IQ.
I think Romney will win California (up by 8 in the current Zogby poll) and will win Georgia and be very close in Missouri and Arizona (McCain’s state). The longer this goes the stronger Romney gets as conservatives realize there is one good choice.
February 4th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Kevin, “George Bush with a high IQ” might not win many conservative voters!
February 4th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Let me say George Bush with a very high IQ.
Seriously when I hear Romney talk about his multidimensional foreign policy as he did in the debate, I hear a guy that takes Bush’s policies to a deeper level of analysis and communicates that lucidly. This is what many of us Bush supporters have wanted to see as it is his biggest weakness. Romney is a great thinker and communicator as well as someone that is right on the issues.

McCain Needs Conservatives, Obama Is Nice Guy…
I supposed I should step away from the Giants for a brief moment, and discuss politics. Or, better yet, let McCain and Obama discuss them

Here I go.
McCain wins: 10 which will be New York, New Jersey, Conn., Missouri, Minn., Illinois, Delaware, OK and Tenn., Alabama
Huckabee wins: 1 which will be Arkansas
Romney wins: 10 which will be Utah, Colorado, Montana, Alaska, West Virginia, Georgia, Mass, North Dakota, and my two shockers . . California AND Arizona (don’t underestimate the Mormon and anti-illegals vote in AZ). Yes, I am predicting a Romney +7 win in in AZ.
Clinton wins 12 states and Obama wins 10.
Romney wins CA popular vote by +2 but wins delegate count +40
Can’t wait to see the actual results . . . feels like Christmas as a kid.
