You mean Romney is losing to McCain?::crazy::[/quote]

After the stellar job Romney did as governor, especially the way he talked up Massachusetts all over the country, most people probably put him below root canal on their list of preferences.

Yeah, but of the 10 Massachusetts Republicans, 7 of them are still voting for him in the primary.

I voted for Ron Paul (big surprise, right?).

If Paul and Huck get a few delegates, and McCain (lemme get my barf bag ready...) doesn't wrap up the nomination this week, there's a chance for a very ugly GOP convention.  The possibility of being able to watch these assholes tear each other apart is too much to pass up.  A brokered convention is what any libertarian or paleocon should be shooting for.

I'm curious as to what (or rather, who) you think would be a likely and/or good-in-your-opinion outcome of such a brokered GOP convention, but we should probably take it to the John Spencer forum.

Ron Paul is a certified "whack job".  Mitt and the Huckleberry both make me want to vomit.  McCain is just a little more tolerable on some issues.  What's a mother to do?

He's a whack job in the same way Jefferson, Washington, and Samuel Adams were whack jobs.  I'll take that kind of whack job over the big government, military interventionist, anti-Constitutionalist, pro-centralization, anti-liberty criminals who comprise every other candidate on the list.

I like a lot of his ideas, and I was definitely planning on voting for him until I looked at some of his other ideas. They're far enough off the deep end that I decided not to in the end.

If the GOP nominates McCain, he'll win. There are lots of people in this country who would say to a pollster that they will vote for (heaven forbid) a woman or (heaven double forbid) an African American for president, but will pull the lever for the (gentile) white guy in the booth. I still firmly believe that the reason that Gore didn't win in 1980 was not because of 'hanging chads,' but because a significant percentage of the population would never vote for a Jew for executive office. If the creationists Romney or Huckabee win the nomination, I think the Dems will win. If, by some miracle, Romney or Huckabee, win, I will move to Canada, where they at least love hockey and favor science over myth.

I will move to Canada

Blah, blah, blah... my money's against your doing this, even if preacher "HAIL JESUS!" Huckabee wins.  Everyone says this, and then very few actually follow through once they realize what else Canada stands for.  For instance, their single payer health care system indicates to me that they don't believe in economic science. ;-)

I think the more important point is that I fail to see why I should be able to be driven from my home by a bunch of thugs who think they have an increasing right to control my life and diminish my freedoms.  I still have hope that once enough people get stepped on, they'll rediscover the concept of natural law and recognize the state for what it is: an illegal criminal gang whose only goal is to enrich itself at our expense.
