Romney Up By 7?

That's the case according to Public Policy Polling, which conducted the poll AFTER the Crist endorsement. Neither this poll or the Datamar poll is included in the RCP average. Are they disreputable companies? This isn't a leading question. I just want to know. 

Hugh Hewitt, who, granted, is Mitt's biggest cheerleader, cites both polls along with a Zogby poll that has McCain up by 3 - also pointing out that Zogby had Michigan tied the morning of the primary, and Romney ended up winning by 9 points. Hewitt points out that the endorsement is just one piece of news cluttering up the landscape, and not necessarily the biggest. McCain's sleazy Iraq smear looks like it's backfiring, and McCain is holding a press conference with bloggers to reassure them that Samuel Alito isn't too conservative to be a Supreme Court justice. Romney's staying on offense; McCain looks desperate. 

Then again, I could be totally wrong and probably am. Go McCain!

SurveyUSA has Romney up by 1, and Rassmussen has the race tied, but has Romney leading for the first time in the national numbers. 

I voted in early voting today here in Utah. My guy McCain got exactly what he deserved with my vote.

Couple of interesting links.

"Heavy-handed" Romney people convinced the fence-sitting Crist to endorse McCain. Interesting bit about absentee ballots favoring Romney.

Some don't like Crist's endorsement:

I've been voting Permanent Absentee for years. Nothing better than voting in my PJ's.

Romney is catching McCain quickly in Intrade numbers in Florida. Endorsements alone can't save him. I fear, however, Romney will die a final death on Super Tuesday.

If it's McCain v. Clinton, what will you do?

I may be with the Wiz on this one. If they're both Democrats, better to let the country's collapse happen on the watch of the Democrat with a D by their name.

Here is the infamous John Fund column on McCain vs. Conservatives, which is making the rounds because of the Judge Alito reference towards the end of it.
