also leads to the conclusion that it is his “turn” and that other candidates must wait in line.

No more!

He has been criticized by some politicos for running what is essentially a general election campaign for the nomination, leaving his opponents to criticize each other while he stays above the fray.

Silly reporter. He [Romney], strictly for political expediency, LIED and scared the senior citizens of FL, the same exact way as Obama.

In the process he sold his soul, displayed how mean he is, how opportunistic…the hell with his party. He proved to ‘be more significant’ than anything else. Made me hurl.

I’m not alone in thinking that Romney sold his soul when he lied to voters. And Romney’s done that more than once. He simply can not be trusted.

…with a focus on behind-the-scenes conversations with reporters to shape coverage of Perry…

Oh, so ethical… NOT!!!

I think a lot of voters have had enough of “behind-the-scenes conversations”.

And I think a lot of voters have had enough of media manipulation and spin in election coverage.

We don’t want the media’s preferred candidate, regardless of their party label.

The problem is that the facts are very different from your perception.

The state you are thinking of is most likely West Virginia. But your assertion that “Hucksterby gave his delegates to McCain to beat Romney” is demonstrably false. Mike Huckabee did not give anything to John McCain. McCain did act in his own self-interest, once he came in 3rd place and knew there was no way for him to win the state. McCain knew it would be in his own self-interest to have the state be won by his competitor who was in 3rd place in the delegate count, rather than by his competitor who was in 2nd place in the delegate count. So McCain, without any converation whatsoever with Huckabee, told McCain’s caucus supporters to give their support to Huckabee in the 2nd round of voting.

Now, there was communication from Ron Paul’s team to Mike Huckabee’s team to gain them delegates in exchange for their support. But no such agreement ever existed between Huckabee and McCain.

I realize that Wikipedia is not the best of sources, but for what it’s worth this is what they have to say about this:

The West Virginia Republican caucuses took place on February 5, 2008 to select 18 delegates to the 2008 Republican National Convention.[1] An additional nine delegates were selected in a primary election on May 13, 2008, for a total of 27 delegates to the national convention.[1] Mike Huckabee won the caucuses, and John McCain later won the primary.

… In the first round of caucusing, the results were Romney 464, Huckabee 375, McCain 176, Paul 118, Giuliani 0. Since no candidate had a majority, Giuliani dropped out and the delegates took a second vote. At this second vote, most Paul and McCain supporters, reportedly acting on commands from their coordinators, shifted to Huckabee, ensuring him the majority.[3] As a result of a deal with Huckabee’s camp, Paul’s delegates swung to Huckabee in exchange for 3 of the State’s 18 national delegates. [4]

The West Virginia caucus was the first of the 21 “Super Tuesday” contests to be counted, with the results being reported in the mid-afternoon.[5] Huckabee’s win over the favored Romney was considered a major loss of momentum for Romney’s campaign, while it revitalized Mike Huckabee’s hopes for the nomination. [6]

Yes.

Corruption in Both the DNC and the RNC

THIS BLOG IS IN THE TANK FOR TRUMP!

I replied that Trump is not conservative enough for me. You chose to ignore that and “move on”.

I’d like you to explain yourself. Your statement seems to be an anti-Trump statement, complaining that my blog is “in the tank for Trump!” Yet, your name “TRUMP2012″ implies that you are supporting Trump in 2012.

I’d like you to explain yourself. What is your worldview, who do you support in the 2012 Presidential election, and what is your purpose in commenting here?

That’s not the law.
