An elderly RINO who’s been in the Senate since the beginning of time vs. a Clinton. We know how that goes.

So what should conservatives do, assuming that nothing changes the apparent McCain vs. Clinton match-up? I’ll vote for Ron Paul if he runs third party. Otherwise, I’ll vote for Hillary. Better to come back with a conservative candidate in 2008 than get behind another RINO. And better to let Hillary take the fall for the coming economic troubles.

A week from today, February 5, is Super Tuesday, About 20 states will vote in the Republican primary. Many are large states like New York and California. Most have closed primaries, i.e. only Republicans can vote.

Super Tuesday will be our last opportunity to stop John McCain from becoming the Republican nominee.

If you care about America’s future, the Republican party, or conservative ideals, you must do your part to stop him.

I just went to Mitt Romney’s web site and made a contribution. It took only a couple of minutes. Please give whatever you can to the Romney campaign today.

Contributions like yours will make all the difference. Super Tuesday will essentially be an air war; it will be largely decided by TV exposure. McCain will get lots of free, favorable coverage. Romney will have to pay for any exposure he gets, through advertising. That means he’ll need a war chest, made up of many, many small contributions from people like you and me.

Please give today, or the man in the video below will realize his dreams and import tens of millions of poor, under-educated, low-skilled, non-English-speaking, socialistic Third Worlders to provide cheap labor for his big-money paymasters.

Give, give, give till it hurts. Then give some more.

From the latest SurveyUSA poll:

Romney has 32%, McCain 31% at this hour, effectively tied. Rudolph Giuliani and Mike Huckabee are far back. Romney leads by 17 points among voters focused on the Economy, and leads by 24 points among voters focused on Immigration. McCain leads by 14 points among voters focused on Terrorism and by 22 points among voters focused on Iraq. Romney leads by 16 among Conservatives. McCain leads by 28 among Moderates. Romney leads by 14 in SE FL. McCain leads Romney by 14 in NW FL, where Huckabee, showing twice the strength he shows elsewhere in Florida, is six points behind McCain. Romney and McCain are effectively tied in NE FL and Central FL. Compared to a SurveyUSA poll one week ago, completed after McCain won South Carolina, but before Fred Thompson dropped out, both Romney and McCain are up significantly. But Romney is up slightly more, and may have the slightest additional momentum at the wire.

…

2,000 Florida adults were interviewed 01/27/08. Of them, 1,790 were registered to vote. Of them 608 were determined by SurveyUSA to be Republicans who had either already voted in the GOP Primary, using early voting, or who were likely to vote at the precinct on 01/29/08. Among those who said they had already voted: Romney 36%, McCain 31%. Among those who had not yet voted, but who told SurveyUSA that their mind was made-up, and they would not change it before the Primary: McCain 32%, Romney 32%. SurveyUSA will endeavor to conduct some additional interviews Monday night 01/28/08, to see if there is unanticipated last-minute movement in the contest.

A new poll from a relatively unknown outfit called Datamar shows Romney leading McCain by 35.6 to 23.2 percent. This might seem suspicious at first glance, but their previous polls seeem quite credible, and the cross-tabs make sense. Click the link and see for yourself.

UPDATE: Another credible poll shows Romney leading 35-28

Apparently, el Presidente Jorge Arbusto will be delivering a “State of the Union” address tonight.

If he had any sense at all, he’d stress securing our borders, but el Presidente will instead focus on whatever dumb politicalnon-starter his idiot advisers have thought up now.
