		<description>No Donald I&#039;m sorry but I&#039;ll never back Mccheese for any reason. I&#039;ll vote all down ticket republicans but leave blank the top. All we can do as a nation of free men is to vote our hearts. John McCain is not a part of my heart.</description>

		<description>&quot;The call for conservatives to unite&quot; around a liberal socialist.  Unbelieveable.  This is what has become of the conservative movement.  Calling us all to unite around liberal and socialist ideas, not to mention BS like man caused global warming.  Simply unbelieveable.</description>

		<description>Yes, unite around McCain and swallow the McCool Aid that demands we support the idiocy of a big government solution for the non-existent problem of manmade global warming. Support McCain&#039;s demand for &quot;Z&quot; visa AMNESTY for illegal aliens. Support the unconstitutional incumbent protection act known as McCain-Feingold. Support McCain&#039;s attempt to rape the drug and mortgage companies. Support McCain&#039;s plan to give terrorists U.S. Constitutinal rights and bring them to the United States.........

How much longer do you want me to go on!

No thanks Donald! As I&#039;ve said, I&#039;ll vote for McCheese, but it&#039;s your turn to carry the water. McCain&#039;s made it clear that if I disagree with him he does not want my support. &quot;I&#039;m not your candidate&quot; he told me personally.</description>

		<description>We know most over here (but not all) hate McCain. 

Did you see conservative columnist Jeff Jacoby&#039;s piece today? He says McCain&#039;s not perfect:

&quot;Yet there is no candidate in either party who so thoroughly embodies the conservatism of American honor and tradition as McCain, nor any with greater moral authority to invoke it. For all his transgressions and backsliding, McCain radiates integrity and steadfastness, and if his heterodox stands have at times been infuriating, they also attest to his resolve. Time and again he has taken an unpopular stand and stuck with it, putting his career on the line when it would have been easier to go along with the crowd.

A perfect conservative he isn&#039;t. But he is courageous and steady, a man of character and high standards, a genuine hero. If &quot;the House that Reagan Built&quot; is to be true to its best and highest ideals, it will unite behind John McCain.&quot;

Also, Inside the Beltway&#039;s talking about a new conservative minority:

&quot;The Conservative Movement has morphed from a handful of intellectual true believers trying to shape the debate into something approaching a civil religion with loyalty tests and a clericy that has the power to excommunicate.&quot;

Yo, sound familiar?

I&#039;ve put out the call for conservatives to unite. Seems like that&#039;s a message that&#039;s spreading.</description>

		<description>Curt: Thanks for doing the poll roundup. That&#039;s usually my turf, but I&#039;ve been out of it since our SC debacle on Jan. 19th.

Two more thoughts here:

1. My favorite Pollster Rasmussen (using some very large and hopefully more accurate samples) shows a number of states where Romney could actually beat McCain:

http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/most_recent_rasmussen_reports_primary_polling

The downside is that states where Romney has a shot like California, Tennesee and Georgia (what happened to Huckaboo?) award delegates proportionally and states where McCheese is comfortably ahead like New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Missouri are winner take all.

So even if Romney pulls it out in those handful of states where he has a shot, McCain gets many more delegates.

I&#039;m following the delegate counts and projections here:
