Blunt: Vote for Romney, don’t waste it on Huckabee

Gov. Matt Blunt and state House Speaker Rod Jetton just completed a conference call with Missouri reporters to promote former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Blunt’s chief pitch to fellow conservatives: Don’t waste your Feb. 5 vote on former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

“This is a two-person race,” Blunt said, referring to Romney and Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

If someone votes for Huckabee, he said, “you’re readlly not participating in that very critical choice.”

“If you are a conservative concerned about preserving American values…the strongest conservative candidate is Gov. Romney,” Blunt said.

Jetton, Romney’s de facto field director in the state, said that he had organized “several thousand volunteers” and was confident that Romney had “the most extensive organization of any of the presidential campaigns” in the state.

Lame ducks backing a lame candidate.

While Rasmussen (Huckabee) and Research 2000 (McCain) surveys produce different leaders in the MO GOP primary, both agree that Romney’s running third. So, the one Blunt calls “the strongest conservative candidate” is running 3rd in what Blunt calls “a two-person race.”

Blunt = “Has Been”…… Yesterday’s newspaper. Go home.

I stated 5 months ago that the Republican party is too closed minded and too intolerant to ever nominate a Mormon……He had about as much chance as a “cross-dressing” red-headed muslim crack addict.

Garrison - Romney and McCain are neck in neck, just a few points apart. So apparently, a lot of Republicans don’t care if he’s a Mormon. I’m not voting for him because he is a FAKE - fake hair, fake smile, fake positions. No thanks.

I’m going to “waste my vote” and vote for Ron Paul. Hopefully, sensible Missouri voters will pick up my slack, and vote for the lesser of three evils … John McCain.

Following the advice of baby Blunt and screamin Jetton is the last thing on my mind. They have already failed and embarassed me enough.

It’s really amazing how the GOP, who are so willing to use religion to try to get people to vote for them, completely panic when someone who actually legitimately comes from a religious background gets some support. GOP muckymucks like Blunt don’t actually care about religion; they just want more tax cuts for the top 5 % !!!

Adam, make it the top 10% and I’m for tax cuts for us too.

This is really comedic. Garrison and Robb, two of our lefty-left faithful don’t like Blunt or his recommendations. I would have never guessed.

Romney is a FLIP FLOP!!!!! I watched a debate from a few years ago on a video and Romney PROMISED he was the most pro choice canidate when he was running for Governor or Senator. And Promised to NEVER flip flop and turn Pro-life. Low and behold he is “pro-life now”
If people like Huckabee they should vote for him!!!!
If every body says “Huckabee can’t win I will vote for someone else” no wonder he isn’t GREAT in the polls!!!
Who ever votes for someone just because he can win, has NO backbone!!!!!

Anyone remember the comic strip “Mutt and Jeff”?
Well, now we have the comic strip “Blunt and Jetton”.

Jeff would always follow Mutt no matter where he would go….usually in very close proximity to Mutt’s backside…Jeff would always giggle, lap-dog, and agree with Mutt, and say….”that’s right boss, that’s right boss…”

What’ll we do now Mutt? What’ll we do now? I’ll get my whoopi cushion…gigle, giggle.

I just spent $7.39 for milk and bread. Yikes stripes!! Who has the economic expertise??? Mitt Romney. Don’t dislike him because he has a good head of hair.

As a gerontological nurse practitioner my assessment is McCain is too old.
