Romney On The Move

It appears that the big win for former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney in Nevada is paying off better than the narrow win in South Carolina by Sen. John "F--- You" McCain judging by the latest poll by Rasmussen Reports http://rasmussenreports.com.
That poll shows Mr. Romney with 25% of the vote followed by Sen. "F--- You" McCain at 20%. Now, I know that other polls show other things, one has Sen. "F--- You" McCain ahead by five and even Mayor Rudy ahead by one.
But, Rasmussen is usually the one most accurate on either side.
Bad news for both Sen. "F--- You" McCain and the former Arkansas governor, the Rev. Mike Huckabee. The Rev. Mike is not even in the top three as Mayor Rudy is essentially tied with Sen. "F--- You" McCain coming in at 19%.
The fact is that Mr. Romney has picked up seven points and the Rev. Mike has lost seven in the latest survey.
Now, after the New Hampshire fiasco, we should not become overly dependent on polls. But, if this is a sign, look for other polls to bear this out.
The conservative Republicans are quickly coming to the realization that with former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson close to dropping his bid, they need to find their candidate. Clearly, there are only two, Mayor Rudy and Mr. Romney. And, in reality there is only one in Mr. Romney who has made inroads with the three stools of the conservative, Republican majority.
A win by Mr. Romney and anything less than second for Sen. "F--- You" McCain pretty much ends his attempt at the nomination. The guerrilla warfare he has been using, independent and Democrat voters, gets harder as the upcoming primaries and caucuses become Republican-only affairs.
So many have and continue to write Mr. Romney off, yet he has the most votes of any Republican candidate and the most delegates.
The DDBMSM thinks that third place in delegates, where Sen. "F--- You" McCain is, makes him the front runner. That should tell you that the DDBMSM is really pushing the McCain candidacy on us.
But, I think that this will be the beginning and more polls will show the same thing and Mitt Romney will slay the McCain dragon and be on the fast track towards the nomination. Not because he will get it in the primary/caucus season but because he will be entering St. Paul in September with the most delegates. And that is going to be where Mr. Romney becomes the nominee. And that will make this election year very exciting.
