Romney needs to keep repeating that final point loudly and clearly. 
Dave is only half right. The other candidates are piling on because they see an opportunity. It isn't because Romney is the leader; it's because a big enough win over Romney could sink his campaign. Romney's campaign was predicated on winning Iowa and New Hampshire. He has poured millions of dollars into those two states and going 0-for-2 would give his campaign a body blow that would be almost impossible to recover from. And if McCain follows a NH win with a win over Romney in Michigan, Romney is done. If he can't win in Iowa, New Hampshire or Michigan, he can't win anywhere. The other candidates see a chance to knock him out. They don't fear him because of his positions or his ability to woo voters with natural campaigning style; they fear that if they end up in a 1-on-1 race, he will simply outspend them to victory. Knocking him out puts them all on a roughly even financial standing. And they are piling on because they see an Eddie Haskell phony who is willing to pour his millions into deceptive negative ads, but won't say it to anyone's face.
McCain is all over the map on issues. McCain's 32 lobbyists bundled up some cash for his newest election year stances.
Did you catch that mistake George made? He listed the candidates speaking out against Mitt - and included Mitt as one of them. heh. Funny. I saw a lot of envy last night. They don't like him? I take that as a good sign.

Craig - Romney's campaign was predicated on winning Iowa and New Hampshire. Incorrect. Romney's campaign was predicated on getting national visibility in Iowa and NH when he started. Hopefully getting national visibility and winning one of the two contests over McCain and Giuliani. That changed with the self-near suicide of McCain and voters getting sick of Mr. 9/11 faster than the media expected....which made Romney by default into the national frontrunner before the rise of Pastor Huckleberry and the media's mouth-to-mouth resuscitation of their hero and camera whore, McCain, brought him back to life. Now the media and various Democrat partisans and evangelicals and figures in the other campaigns have tried to suggest that Romney is "finished" if he fails to win two states he originally hoped to only place strong in, hopefully win one. Romney has also made mistakes. He stupidly tried to market Mormonism as no different than Southern Baptism and out thump a 30-year professional Bible Thumper who believes in a 6,000 year old Earth. -for "I'm optimistic and happy about our course", Bush has done a lot of good things, I love Sweet Baby Jesus."
Yuck! Am I the only one who's going to say it? Gov. Romney is attacking the character of his opponents, misrepresenting their positions, and then taking their positions as his own when politically expedient. Then he tries to deflect everything that comes his way as, "Don't attack my character". Yuck.
Hope is for the lazy, not motivated. Just like Barak (I’ll Bomb Ya)s followers, lazy, welfare, stupid, want hand outs, drug users and drug dealers, prostitute buying, gang banging, child molesting, porn monger, table dancers for drug money lazy losers that just want to sit around and hope for something to happen. Just read the definition below. Then go out and make it happen, get a job and a life and quit supporting the riff-raff in our country. If you align yourself with this guy, this is the kind of country you will live in, is that what you want?
transitive and intransitive verb (past and past participle hoped, present participle hop•ing, 3rd person present singular hopes) Definition:

The reason that McCain and Huckabee piled on last night is that Romney is leading in the race. If he was behind, nobody would care. Romney has more delegates than anybody else, and will have even if he loses New Hampshire...since delegates in the Granite State are given on a proportional basis. Romney can knock McCain out of the race with a win in New Hampshire, but the reverse is not true. And even if McCain wins New Hampshire, he will have to follow up with a win somewhere else to stay in contention. His problem is that he doesn't have the funds to go the distance.
