retro1983hat Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Rudy really screwed himself. Too bad. I liked him. I'm a big McCain fan though. Hopefully he can hold off the Cadillac Salesman through Super Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I was turned off by Rudy from the moment he filed. Never have liked him. Must be candidates from New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be candidates from New York. Don't think I have anything against candidates from that state, in fact, if the nominee for the Dems winds up being one, I'll be hoping that a 3rd person from NY gets in so I have someone to vote for other than Stephen. I think the thing that turns me off about 9iu11ani is the fact that he's certifiably, batsh*t, 9/11, in-9/11-sane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 The past week I've been getting this almost daily from the McCain campaign. Can you invest a week of your time to make history? Senator McCain needs you in Florida! The January 29th primary is only eight days away. Please fill out the form at http://vol.JohnMcCain.com and pack your bags! Thank-you! Bill Bloomfield, Director of Volunteers Seems as if he's really targeting this as a make or keep fighting moment. I wish I had a week to go. Seems like a really neat experience.

One thing to keep in mind is that 9iu11ani's "Focus on Florida" strategy was never actually his strategy until he was left with nothing else. He put a lot of time and money into New Hampshire. But the reality was, every time he spoke in New Hampshire, his numbers went down. Being that he had been mayor in a state in the NE, focusing on New Hampshire made sense for his campaign. The problem is...he's a horrific candidate and might well be the only man alive who could be worse than GW. His idiotic "Focus on Florida" strategy came about because that was about the only other place where he had moderately good numbers once the folks in New Hampshire got fed up with him.

His whole campaign was bad. That includes his debate performances, speeches, tv interviews, issues he put he the most emphasis on, ect.

DBAHO Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Jim Courier was on morning radio down here (he's commentating for the Aussie Open) and said even though he'll usually vote democrat, he thought Romney was the best qualified for the position because of his previous work as a C.E.O, and he also said he probably wouldn't get the job because of his religion, and he said that religion and politics shouldn't mix, but then he brought up how Bush uses god in his speeches etc. Thoughts?

DBAHO Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Are you more likely to vote for a Christian over a Mormon though, if the 2 candidates are basically the same? Obviously I think most people would, hence why it's an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
