Reuters/Zogby FL Repuke Poll: McCain 33 (+3), Romney (+0), Ghouliani 14, Fuckster 11

It appears the endorsement of the Florida Governor had a very positive effect with conservatives as McCain gained six points to tie Romney in that category.

Grrrrrrr...fuckin McCain.

When the Hell did he start using ABBA for his theme music? :rofl:

as one of the worst campaigns ever run. I mean, seriously, he basically neutralized himself and took himself out of serious contention. As someone said before, he's trying to win a marathon by joining the race during the home stretch. I'm glad voters aren't rewarding him for not working hard for the nomination.

Guiliani tried to compete in Iowa and New Hampshire and failed. First he fell to second in both and stayed in. Then he fell behind Huckabee in Iowa and pulled back to focus on winning NH. Then McCain started approaching him there and he kept fighting hard for second. Then McCain clearly passed him and started to approach Romney--so Guiliani pulled back in NH. He knew that Michigan and Nevada would be a battle between McCain and Romney, especially as he watched his numbers fall there as well (even before NH and IA losses), so he stopped contesting them. Finally, even in South Carolina, Thompson had passed him and he kept competing. Then when Thompson fell it was Huckabee who got the bounce to the top. And Guiliani fell to a four way tie for second with Thompson, McCain and Romney. He didn't even pull back there until after McCain beat Romney in NH and it was clear that he would be shooting to the top of the national race, along with a huge bounce in SC.

So Romney didn't announce his Florida strategy until he was convinced that he couldn't win or come in second in the first six states. He ran a good campaign in the sense that he managed to spin the news media into believing that this was a choice he made and then he got them to repeat that story to the public--repeatedly.

I find McCaniac almost as sickening as I do Rudy, who thankfully doesn't even seem to be a factor in this election anymore.

I hate him too much to ever want to see him win anything.

There are definitely more than 2% Libertarians (and Ron Paul supporters) in Florida.

Their methodology has to be off somewhere! I suspect they skewed the sample to far to retirees...

It is my sense that Romney and McCain are in a dead heat with the Ghoul coming in 3-5th behind Ron Raul and Huckabee.
