Everyone agree that going into S.C. we want McCain, Huckster and Romney in that order?

[wuushew]

McCain still is broke and would have problems advertising nationally on Super Tuesday and Huckster seems to be imploding as fast as theocratically possible. Fred is dead and only the freepers still think he is the Republican savior.

Romney absolutely needed to win Michigan, but I wish it would have been closer owing to his present cockiness.


What formula results in the greatest Republican chaos?

[TwilightGardener]

1. I want Thompson to win. Barring that, Huckabilly. Total doofus.

[Hutzpa]

19. I don't buy that argument

I think he is a real snake...those oily ones that looks sleek and shine,

pretty....but poisonous as hell!

[yardwork]

30. I agree with that lineup. It's Thompson's turn to win, and let's bring Huckster back - briefly.

[Pirate Smile]

2. No, we don't want McCain to win anything.

[MADem]

10. McCain is FORMIDABLE in a general election. You are quite correct in your assessment.

For some reason, he looks like a crazy old coot from a Peter Sellers film in the primary, but he gains gravitas and credibility when he stands alone.

It's illogical, but it is true.

If he wins the nom, he just might win the Presidency. That's not a good outcome...

[donheld]

28. Exactly right

He would be the toughest to beat come November.

[babylonsister]

3. I don't want McCain to win anywhere; he's the closest to 'normal' for

the rethugs even if he is a warmonger.

[wuushew]

9. Romney is ahead in delegates

If McCain looses he is out of the race.

A McCain loss will not help continue the Republican infighting.

[Pirate Smile]

16. We want McCain out of the race. Let the rest of them fight for it.

[alfredo]

4. No, it is Thompson's turn. Ron Paul's turn will be Nevada.

[Yael]

13. And GoGoGiuliani in Florida

:rofl:

[alfredo]

20. I am the lord of Chaos, I rule the GOP primaries.

[yurbud]

5. Huck first--he would drive away indies and even some free market pubs. McCain & Romney look moderate

to the casual observer compared to Huck

[bryant69]

6. I agree. McCain is so hated by his party that it would just be hilarious

But given recent dirty tricks, I think the South Carolinians will go for Romney or Huckabee.

7. I want them all close and not for mclame to win.

keep the pot stirring with bullshit to drive the repukes crazy.

[Hawkowl]

8. Not McCain

McCain is the greatest threat. Huckabee winning would be fun because that guy is an absolute loon. My nightmare Rethug ticket is a McCain/Huckabee.

[rox63]

11. I'd got for a very close (within 1%-2%) 1st & 2nd for McCain & Huck

That way, there's still no clear leader, and chaos reigns supreme among the repukes.

[Yael]

12. Heck no! I want Phred to win one. Each candidate should have a 'gold' before 2/5

:evilgrin:

[onenote]

14. no, we want Huckabee or Romney (or both) to finish ahead of McCain

It creates far more chaos for Huckabee to do well. DC repub insiders privately view Huckabee as their "McGovern" candidate -- one who might lose nearly every state.

[kentuck]

15. I think McCain may finish third?

Huckster first and Romney second, after his big win in Michigan. McCain's back will be against the wall after SC, in my opinion.

[mmonk]

17. Want is a bad word.

[featherman]

18. I'm going for the Huckster in SC and pulling for Ron Paul to

pull the big upset in the NV caucuses

[Ravy]

21. I think we would want Romney or Huck to win. We don't want a repub brokered convention....

where they could pick some "consensus" candidate who would be mostly acceptable to all.

[wuushew]

25. I think a brokered convention could depress turnout in the general

Romney would be the clear pick of the corporate interests.

[Ravy]

27. It could also introduce someone new in the process without all of the primary baggage.

Like say, Colin Powell...

[JI7]

22. no, we want Huckabee to win

[AndyTiedye]

24. NOOOO. Huckabee is Too Good a Snake Oil Salesman! He'd Probably Win!

A snake-oil salesman like Huckabee if he has the Mighty Slime Machine working for him would be difficult if not impossible to beat. No matter how crazy he is!

[onenote]

26. He's slick, but the repub insiders in DC are terrified at the thought of his being the nominee

They think he'd lose virtually every state with any significant population (in other words, he might carry a few bible belt states, utah (assuming that huck and romney have some big public hugfest so that the Mormons in Utah feel more comforatble with HUck given his attacks on their faith) and a few "wildnerness" states like Wyoming.

[AndyTiedye]

23. Mittens is Probably the Most Beatable that Could be Nominated

We do NOT want to face McCain or Fuckabee.

[yardwork]

29. Really? I worry that the sheeple could be convinced to vote for Mittens.

It's hard to choose the worst among the Republican candidates. They're all awful.

[AndyTiedye]

31. They Can Be Convinced to Do Anything if the Person doing the Convincing is Slick Enough

and they get all the TV airtime they need to it.

[Prophet 451]

32. Huckster, then Mittens

Sure, all the 29%ers would vote for Huck but they'd vote for Jack teh Ripper if he had an (R) after his name. Huck's religious extremism scares the living shit out of most of the rest of teh country and Mittens isn't too far behind.
