“We’re getting down to the final days and we’re happy with the way things are going, but we’ve still got a very tough fight here in Iowa. We’re working hard and we have a very good organization but we have a very long way to go.”
His thinking is to let Mike Huckabee grab the evangelical vote and steal Mitt Romney’s thunder. John McCain should come back with a victory in New Hampshire and that is when it will really become interesting. South Carolina may hold the key to the GOP nomination.
McCain could well be the last man standing if Huckabee derails Giuliani in Florida, and The Club For Growth in turn swiftboats Huckabee on immigration and taxes.
I can’t see Huckabee and his evangelical background carrying much weight in Florida. The swiftboating of Huckabee has already begun except it will benefit McCain, not Romney as presently intended.
Where is Steve Levine these days? I told him not to count out McCain yet.
Huckabee will do well wherever there are enough yahoos who are susceptible to religious pandering.
Iowa and Florida (Northern transplants notwithstanding) are prime yahoo country.
If McCain is rising in the polls, it’s because the other pygmies in the race have been exposed for the non-entities they truly are, making McCain look like the only statesman in the bunch.
Bhutto’s murder will have an effect on Huckabee’s popularity, considering he has no foreign policy experience. I hope that this helps Biden’s chances as well as he is one of the best candidates in the Democratic field.
Agreed about Biden. It’s a shame he hasn’t gotten more media exposure and really doesn’t have a chance to win the nomination.
When I envision the next occupant of the Oval Office, Joe Biden gives me a feeling of comfort and confidence — more so than any other candidate. I’d be proud to have him as my President.
