In tonight’s very amicable Republican debate Romney came across as the consensus winner.

If ever there was a time to stop John McCain, now is that time. Heading into tonight’s debate, GOP rivals Rudy Giuliani, and Mitt Romney will be aiming at John McCain. In a switch from the gang tackles on Mitt Romney in previous debates, expect that the candidates (besides the ever fawning Mike Huckabee) will […]

In what appears to be a last ditch effort to keep his campaign alive, Mike Huckabee is considering pulling out of Florida ahead of the January 29th GOP primary. After failing to catch on with non-evangelicals after his surprise Iowa win, Huckabee is slashing costs to keep his campaign viable.
“A 50-seat plane for 15 people […]

Only 1 in 7 non-evangelicals voted for him, placing him behind not just Mr. McCain but Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney. He finished a close second overall only because he won more than 2 out of 5 evangelical voters, who […]

Romney held another press availability this evening and commented on leaving the Palmetto State for Nevada. He said he still hopes to do well and might even surprise people:

After announcing his decision to drop out of the race, Tancredo endorsed Mitt Romney’s presidential bid, saying the former Massachusetts governor’s views came closest to his own stance on illegal immigration, and that he “could go the distance” and win the presidency.

By not denouncing the issue of Romney’s faith and declaring that personal religous beliefs should not be a factor in a candidate’s qualifications for office demonstrates that Mike Huckabee intends to exploit the prejudice against the Mormon faith to which Mitt Romney subscribes.
