The Bell Tolls

Over time the Mitt Romney camp, or better yet the "Anybody-But-McCain" camp is beginning to realize the sad news. Romney has little hope going into Super Tuesday. With Huckabee remaining in the race, Romney is seriously handicapped going into Tuesday. So he should be in my opinion. The man's a political chameleon with no national security experience and a dismal economic record.

It's time to face the music.

An RCP average of polls shows McCain beating Romney nationally 42.8% to 24.5%. Ouch. Myself a McCainista from the beginning didn't think those numbers were possible. Other polls show little reprieve for Romney. Every single poll taken from January 30th to today has McCain beating Romney by immense numbers. From the FOX News poll McCain tops Romney by 28%. Do any Mitt-boys honestly think that Romney can do well on Super Tuesday?

President Bush has higher approval ratings among the country that Romney has among Republicans. That's a huge shock to me and should be an embarrasment to the Romney camp.

State-by-state it doesn't bode well either. McCain leads California, New Jersey, Missouri, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama, New York, Illinois, and Connecticut.

So it's time to face the music people. Romney will go down. Odds are, he'll go down hard.

And while we're on Romney v. McCain, I've always been surprised that the conservative orthodoxy forgives Romney for his frequent deviations from conservatism from traditional marriage, to the rights of the unborn, to gun rights, to social conservatism, to taxes, to health care and so on and yet raps McCain on his knuckles. Finally someone else sees it.
