There are a lot of Mormons there. Great news for Sarah Palin. Bad news for that liar and hack Mitt Romney.

Weren't you saying you'd be voting for Romney over Palin, Huckabee and Gingrich?

(and I agree with you this time, of course; just surprised that you've changed so quickly)

That's just Rowan's valentine to the poster who thinks his name is Hamilton.

[Mr. Morden]

Is Montana going to have a primary or a caucus like in 2008?

They've decided not to do the caucus this time.  They'll allocate their delegates based on the primary, which won't be held until June, in the last week of primary season:

He struggles nationally

He's led 3 of the last 5 national polls (not counting the ever-unreliable Zogby Interactive), albeit not by very much.  Even in the polls where he's not leading, he's been within four points of the lead in every single national poll taken in the last ten months.

He's led in the most recent polls in CA, FL, MI, NV, and others.  And oh yeah, he leads NH by more than 20 points.  Clearly, he must be doomed.

Given his business experience and, more importantly, his current adversaries, he's struggling.  To be tied, trailing, or barely leading a half term governor, an ethical cloud, and a Baptist minister is the definition of struggling.  That's my view.

OK, though I'm still confused on how you got "doesn't seem to have a lead in states other than Mass."

What 3 polls?  He led in Marist and Rasmussen.  rasmussen had his difficulties in the midterms and Marist polled around 330 people and somehow found Rick Perry polling higher than Tim Pawlenty.  What's the third poll that shows Romney in the lead?

That Michigan poll that he led in is from several months ago.  I'm pretty sure he's still in the lead and if he's not, well, he might as well concede right now.

Whacker isn't a very intelligent guy.  However, even he sees what everyone sees and that is Romney is fading pretty much everywhere.

You are the most insufferable, conceited person I have come across on this board.  What, no quip about not demonstrating independent thought?  That's your tired critique of people who don't share your reasoned line of thinking.  Do me a favor, put me on ignore so you won't see what I have written and I won't have to read your smarmy responses.  Go back to watching Sarah Palin's Alaska.

Just put *him* on ignore.  It's mostly worked for me, except it's only a partial fix, as other posters keep quoting his posts, so I still end up reading some of them.
