Anonymity was guaranteed, and CR Nation will not reveal the names of who is supporting who, based on information gathered in this survey. Almost half of […]
Polling numbers for Republicans in N.H., McCain looks to be cruising
Monday, January 7th, 2008Seven of eight polls have McCain winning the N.H. primary. I see a trend: a McCain win and a Romney loss. If this should come about, it would devastate Romney’s campaign, likely ending any realistic expectation for him to become the nominee.
Romney’s strategy relied heavily on winning early primary states, which as it looks, aren’t […]
McCain: “You haven’t changed and neither have I”
Monday, January 7th, 2008Appealing to those who voted for him in 2000 to do the same in 2008.
I am unsure about John McCain, but I think he has some of the best ads on the Republican side. What I believe sets him apart from his rivals is that McCain seems and sounds genuine . […]
Can Huckabee win elsewhere?
Friday, January 4th, 2008A fair question given Huckabee’s win in the demographically unrepresentative Iowa.
An important consideration in answering the question may be the percentage of Christian conservatives in subsequent primary states. According the statistic below, Huckabee will have a difficultly winning primaries in other states due to a lower percentage of Christian conservatives who are widely estimated […]
Rumor: MO Gov. possible VP candidate
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008A CR Nation mole reports that Matt Blunt, Governor of Missouri, has just arrived at Mitt Romney’s campaign headquarters strengthening rumors that Matt Blunt may be Mitt Romney’s VP candidate - should Romney need to make such a choice.

Rumor: Thompson plans to drop out, endorse Romney
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008A CR Nation mole in Iowa reports that there is a rumor circulating that Fred Thompson’s campaign predicts a poor showing in Iowa, despite a last minute campaign push throughout the state.
So, poor that Fred has planned to drop out of the race tomorrow and endorse Mitt Romney.

“Huckabee is a Democrat’s Dream”
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008That statement, referring to a Huckabee win in Iowa, isn’t entirely true. To be entirely true, the statement should read “Huckabee is a Democrat’s and John McCain’s dream”.
If Huckabee wins in Iowa, Romney sinks in N.H. If Romney sinks in N.H., McCain wins N.H. and probably goes on to win South Carolina and […]
Primary Colors: No more Massachusetts liberals
Monday, December 31st, 2007There once was a presidential candidate from Massachusetts. He had enormous ambition, and had run for office several times in his home state. But in his campaigns, this candidate constantly flip-flopped on critical issues. He would say one thing, and then contradict himself by saying another. It seemed that he would say anything to win […]
Primary Colors: Romney the best
Monday, December 31st, 2007Mitt Romney would be the best Republican candidate and the best president, which is why he will receive my vote.
There is no doubt in my mind that Mitt Romney is the most conservative candidate in the race. Huckabee is liberal on taxes and immigration; so is McCain. Giuliani is liberal on, well, everything. Among the […]
