so how come there are so many Ron Paul yard signs….. there just aren’t many McCain, Romney Thompson and Rudy signs around town. Are their supporters embarrassed to put up yard signs or are the polls rigged>?
THIS IS CRAZY I’M A NEW YORKER AND KNOW MCCAIN AND Huckabee ARE NO CONSERVATIVES…MY GOD FRED THOMPSON REALLY IS THE ONLY ONE
We have a saying here in Kentucky: Yard signs don’t vote. I’m praying that Fred can pull close to keep going.
John McCain is the ONLY candidate who can lead us out of the foreign policy morass we find ourselves in around the world. This global fight against radical Islamism is going to last decades. It is not just about Iraq. This snake has many heads. McCain is the only candidate who has the experience, the instincts, the understanding of the military and the diplomatic savvy to guide this nation during this most critical time in our history.
Now with his second win, Mitt Romney is the clear front-runner in both total delegates earned as well as total votes received. Romney now has more delegates than McCain and Huckabee combined.

*** Although McCain lost Michigan by a whopping 9.25%, the news of the loss was not all bad.
Exit polls show that McCain won among voters that identified themselves as Union Members, Democrats, and Atheists. He also won among those who
• want abortion “legal”
• are “angry” with Bush
• earn less than $30,000/yr
• “never” attend church
• want a path to citizenship for Illegal Immigrants, and
• disapprove of the war in Iraq

Yard signs don’t vote, I like that.
I think it’s time for McCain to call it quits. He’s war hero, sure but c’mon. That the ONLY thing in his ads. And South Carolina people are cranking his chain. They haven’t forgot the large foot he crammed in his mouth about their local politics 8 years ago.
They are setting him up for a BIG fall on Saturday.
And Fred Thompson is on fire in SC! Southern Conservatives are, naturally gravitating towards him.
