This. And while there have been different frontrunners at different points Romney has always been viewed as favorite so to claim one has been calling the favorite the winner for months is hardly something to boast about.
If Mittens can win mod/ind vote..why isn't he?

So show me where, remember there is a record.... If I am lying or wrong, please point it out. Otherwise its just your word, which is not very good around these parts.

LMAO... so my 'word' is not good around these parts?
Show you what? You bouncing from frontrunner to frontrunner? You have ALREADY STATED THAT YOU DID.
Your original comment was "I have been saying it would be Mitt vs. Obama for six months"
I called you on that.
You then corrected yourself by stating 'what I meant is that I was saying it would be Mitt except for the time I was saying it was Perry'
There is no need for me to 'show you where'... you friggin already stated the facts on this thread.
That said... please show us where you are getting the 'your word is not very good around here'. Where is it that I have broken my word Jarod? Or are you simply trying a lame ass attack on my character because you are embarrassed?
You are silly, you would be correct if you had said that I once waivered on my belife that Romney would be the nominee. You are flat out silly wrong when you say I "jumped from front runner to front runner." I never once thought that Cain, Gingrich, Santorum or Paul had a snowballs chance.

By all means... show us a time when Cain, Gingrich, Santorum and Paul have been the 'frontrunners'.
Just look at this chart:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/ep.../republican_presidential_nomination-1452.html
Where the blue line appears higher than the purple line, Perry was the front-runner. Where the red line appears higher than the purple line, Cain was the front-runner. Where the green line appears higher than the purple line, Gingrich was the front-runner and where the brown line (ed. note - good one RCP!), Santorum was the front-runner.
I hope this helps.

LOL... you understand that 'frontrunner' status is not just about who has the highest polls for a given week? Romney has remained the front runner of late despite the polls bouncing up for Santorum. Simply slipping above the front runner for a week or two in the polls does not make you the frontrunner. It is also about electability, funding, name recognition etc...
you could make a case for Gingrich, but Cain and Santorum have never been the frontrunners in this race.

Notice on your little chart... that purple line is consistently first or second... and the times it is second are fairly brief as the challenger of the month gained short lived popularity.
Interesting. So, to you, "front-runner" at a particular time means the guy in second place. Such interesting use of the English language. Kudos to you, sir!
My chart? I used RCP because you've used it before. I didn't want to hear any shit from you about source. And yes, Romney is constantly first or second. When he is first, he's the front-runner. When he's in second, he's not.

Funny, could have sworn in terms of name recognition, fund raising, electability, Romney has been in first place. You seem to be of the mindset that a front runner is determined solely by polls.

Easy there, don't get your panties in a bunch... I said 'your chart' in reference to the fact that you posted it. I know how easily confused you are and wanted to be specific. Obviously I still wasn't specific enough as you still managed to confuse yourself and thereby bunch up your panties.

Did you miss the first part? You know, the part where it says LEAD IN THE POLLS. Fer crying out loud, SF.

Yeah... that is ONE of the components of a front runner Dung.

Well, you could never prove who had better name recognition, and I'd find it hard to believe that among the voters in the R primary there was much, if any difference on that. And as for the money, you'd have to go back and see who got how much each week...as their status continued to be in flux.
So I think you better go make me a sandwich. And don't try and put anything stupid like bologna in it...vegetarian please. I do like a little pesto spread on a sandwich...
PLUS my Fred Astaire burn was awesome!
you guys are arguing semantics. I get superfreak's argument. Substantively, Romney has always been leading the pack. You would have to be a rather large mouth breather to think back in the fall that cain was actually going to make a deep run. No one had the organization, name recognition, money, and internal party support that Romney had. You can't just look at a daily or a weekly snapshot and determine that someone is the frontrunner based off of that. You need to extrapolate as well. And despite some people were flavors of the week, it was obvious someone like bachman wasn't going anywhere.
