Comments on: N.H. May Be "Win Or Bust" For Romney

Reeling From Iowa Loss, GOP Candidate Goes After Rival McCain In Hopes Of Salvaging Campaign

[angelboy29-2009]

Praise the Lord, Alelluhia! Let''s celebrate for our new Pastor-in-Chief!

[angelboy29-2009]

Evangelicals who voted for Huckabee are bigoted anti-mormons. They are so narrow-minded that they cannot see the whole picture of what is happening around them. They are blinded by wrong principles and it shows exactly of who they are. The win of Huckabee was a sabotage by these blinded bigots to block a Mormon from serving as a President.

To tell you the truth, America will be better off with a Mormon President than a bigoted pastor serving as the President.

This guy outspent Huckabee 15 to 1 and lost ??

And Huckabee has a scandal in his closet. He fired a man in his Administration for looking into Huckabee''s son''s hanging of a dog when the son was 17.

Do we have someone here who thinks his family is above the law and winning a presidential contest ?

[angelboy29-2009]

Iowa has just voted their new pastor-in-chief. It was a sabotage win. Not so impressive but anyway, congratulations to the winners.

But, it will be a different story outside Iowa. Mitt Romney will win the nomination. Mark my word.

[conspiracygirl]

Out where I live Christian hate radio was in full gear against Romney today, saying how God''s wrath would come done on America if a Mormon were elected. When I got home I hunted for the BYU channel to see what the Mormons were saying. Not a word of hostility towards anyone was spoken. Not one.

[person_man]

Mitt Romney is by far the best, most qualified candidate in the Republican field. He is the leader the country needs. McCain is unpredidictable, and lets just be honest, too old. Neither Guiliani nor Huckabee is conservative. Huckabee cannot beat a Democratic candidate. Please, New Hampshire Republicans, make the right choice for our nation. Vote for Romney.

[tyahlstrom]

Iowa wasted their vote on Huckabee. I like him as a person, but he is not the strongest candidate for president, and doesn%u2019t have enough support anywhere else to get him to the presidency. Iowa voted primarily on who shared their same values, if they wanted someone with values who actually has a chance at the presidency, they should have gone with Romney. If they would''ve done that it would have really been a boon to Romney and he would''ve surely won in New Hampshire which would really get the ball rolling. Romney is the only contender with enough support to beat Giuliani. Now, without Iowa, it looks much harder for Romney, looks like America will get a president with lower standards because of Iowa.

Oh, I know - I was being snarky.

I''m a little surprised at Rudy''s poor showing, but also enjoying it very much. He''s a thug and his sense of entitlement sickens me.

[samthetvcat]

roger_inkart - ugh, I''m talking big picture (as in winning Iowa does not equal a win in the whole country; nor does a defeat equal a defeat of one''s hopes for obtaining the nomination) :P

But just looking at the ''momentum'' trends over the long-haul of the entire primaries for the past year, aren''t Huckabee and Romney the only two who are on the uptick? So maybe it''s not true that the more people get to know Romney the more they dislike him (?)

I don''t know . . . don''t really watch the Repubs too much.

[roger_inkart]

I think the big winner tonight is Rudy

With 4%? Yup, that''s a reason to break out the champagne! He''s lucky Hunter kept him out of last place.

ROTFL too funny :D

[jetranger7]

JEFFERY SKILLING of ENRON Will break out of Prision, and go on a Rampage and assinate someone, thats my prediction for 2008 !!!!!! But then again, I''ve had a few too many Crown & Cokes tonight !!!!!! I jus luv dat chit !!!!!! Buurrpppp !!!!!!

[samthetvcat]

I don''t see this ''defeat'' as THAT big a deal for Mitt.

The Democrats kind of had an in-fight of change versus experience, whereas the Republicans seem to be divided over religion versus fiscal conservatism versus the war versus domestic terrorism. And Iowa Republicans seem to be very different from New Hampshire Republicans.

So like the Evangelicals picked Huckabee in Iowa, and went for the fiscal conservative second; In New Hampshire the Iraq War hawks''ll probably vote for McCain, and will likely vote for Mitt second again.

So isn''t that maybe a good thing to be everybody''s second choice amongst a divided party rather than somebody''s first and somebody else''s third?

I think the big winner tonight is Rudy, who can still come into the picture in Florida because nothing may have been resolved internally by then . . .

[lone-star5]

Totally agree with DLounsbury1. Mitt Romney truly is the most qualified presidential candidate. We are not voting for Mr. Congeniality, or Pastor-in-Chief. We are voting for President of the United States of America.

[patrick327]

hmm, mccaine has yet to place 3rd.

[gumbystretch]

A loss for Mitt Romney is a victory for America. Thank you Iowa! And with McCain finishing 3rd tonight, he''ll win NH and most likely get a Thompson endorsement. This is a win tonight for men of integrity like John McCain and Mike Huckabee, and deals a terrible blow to the biggest phony to run for president in my lifetime.

[dlounsbury1]

Don''t write Romney''s obituary yet. A first or second place finish in NH and a first place in Michigan and it is still up for grabs. The mainstream media''s groupthink lovefest propelled Huckabee. The guy is a total joke--Ross Perot meets Jimmy Carter. With his convict son and his IQ challenged wife, the Dems (and the media) are cheering this guy on. Those who are so suspicious of the media--evangelicals were all to willing to see the established media offer their guy up as the man of the hour. Oh how they will regret trusting in the Huck when Huckabee, if he goes forward, is absolutely scourged by the media in the general. Alternatively, they might push Guiliani (marriage/affair/divorce/marriage/affair/divorce/marriage /affair divorce or McCain whom they also despise for leaving his wife who waited for him while a prisoner of war for rich hottie wife who bought him a senate seat. I hope that Iowan evengelicals do not keep the most qualified presidential candidate of my lifetime off the ticket.
