Excerpt

Many of the leading Republican Presidential candidates may not have enough money to run a strong campaign in Florida.

Those in the state vote on Jan. 29.

Rudy Giuliani and John McCain were back in Florida on Jan. 24 after leaving the state to shake the New York money tree.

They're so low on funds senior staffers on their campaigns are foregoing salaries.

When asked whether they had enough money after Florida to compete in super-duper Tuesday, they laid out their strategies.

"Winning Florida is very important and then we'll think about the rest of it once we win Florida," replied Giuliani.

End excerpt


It seems like Romney is the only one who has enough money to campaign effectively in Florida. Will Romney be able to "buy" Florida?

Will Romney have enough money to go on and "buy" his way into the White House?

Is this what we mean by the best government money can buy?

He's got the favor and money, and he WILL win the nomination.
Everybody else is blowing smoke.
No matter how it looks now, it will be Romney versus Clinton in the General election.
The Republicans still control the voting machines, so Romney will win.
Looks simple to me.:cool:

Romney is becoming the favored candidate of the base with McCain the favorite of the country club monied set and Rudy sort of in the middle.

Jeb loaned him his personal campaign staff, after all.
No greater love doth the Bush Family bestow on outsiders.
They've got something on ol' Mitt though, you can bet your bottom dollar...:eek:
He will become America's first Mormon President.
Plus he will jump if either 41 or 43 so much as breaks wind in his direction for the 8 years he's in office.
A useful shill until Jeb runs in 2016.
:eek:

But that is what Romney likes. After all, he's going to "pass through the veil" upon his death and become a God of his own planet. The ultimate coporatist fantasy.

Okay, this is just for a bit of fun..
When you go to Craig's List over on the left is something called Best of Craig's List.
Have you ever checked it out?
It's a riot..
There is one post there called "Star Wars Guide to the Candidates".
My favorites were Kucinich and Paul...
