    Who ever wins Florida is likely to take the whole thing because they'll have the media coverage on them going into super Tuesday when a lot of the big states vote.

    I can't see how the media is taking Romney's win in Michigan seriously. It's his own home state.

    Only complete losers like John Edwards could fail to win their home states. :cool:

    McCain, Thompson, and Huck all have a good shot at winning this sat down here in SC...Watch for Rudy to be last place again, with RP getting his usual 5th (maybe with 10% of the vote, it is a saturday, depends on how many of his followers get blitzed the night before). Romney might get in the top 3, but not sure. He did pull all his ads from SC.

    I have always considered a candidate's chance of winning. Only once did I vote a candidate that had no chance of winning, a Libertarian. In that case I felt like I sorted voted. I wonder what it's like to vote for a candidate who has no chance and then go home and watch the returns, wishing for a jump from 5th to 1st. :rolleyes:

    Why would you waste your vote on someone you think can win? That's crazy.

    Is it a "me too!" complex?

    You should be voting for the person you most trust, who has the best ideas etc.

    Any idiot can pick a front runner from a poll. The bad news is, the polls and media coverage are heavily slanted against the people with the best ideas.

    Some people though Jeb would run sometime during his political career, but at the moment it seems as if his brother has screwed that up for him. Still is possible though, but hopefully not.

    I was watching the American comedian Chris Rock on the BBC Show "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross" last Friday and he basically said Bush has fucked it up so badly that no Americans want to vote for a white man for President any more. :D

    It was funny as fuck.

    Lol, Chris Rock is funny. In a way he is right; I hate to say it since this phrase has been so overused in this election, but people want change, which really bodes well for Obama and Hilary.

    I've seen him on the TV a few times before and never really liked the dude but he was so accurate with that statement. :)

    Bush has made a horrible mess of things.

    True, it'll be interesting to see what he does in this last year to try to turn that around. His trip to the middle east is certainly an effort.

    He's ruined the Middle East with his illegal invasion and occupation mate, a visit to the Middle East is not going to make anything any better.

    I know where you mean, but I try not to judge a person before things pan out, especially with presidents. Most historians agree that it takes atleast a couple of decades before one can accurately judge a president. Some of the most hated presidents at their time are seen as the best today and vice-versa.
