Romney Strong in January Primary States

Mitt Romney just won't go away. He doesn't have the charisma of Rudy Giuliani or Fred Thompson but he keeps moving forward. The January primaries could give him the momentum to be a formidable contender in February.


Take a look at the most recent poll numbers for the states that matter in Jan. 2008.

Electoral
Date STATE Votes Giuliani Thompson Romney McCain
Jan. 14 Iowa 7 15% 17% 25% 6%
Jan. 19 Nevada 5 21% 1% 23% 16%
Jan. 22 N.H. 4 22% 12% 29% 20%
Jan. 29 S.C 8 21% 25% 11% 7%
Jan. 29 Florida 27 30% 24% 8% 11%

If the numbers hold up, Giuliani will be explaining how he could lose three primaries in a row. It doesn't always pay to be the front-runner.

McCain will be explaining why he lost five out of five and is just getting weaker and weaker. My guess is that he will soon see his support moving over to Fred Thompson. If that happens, McCain will receive less than 10% of the vote in South Carolina and Florida. Could be an early departure for McCain.

Thompson is standing tall and getting stronger. It will be interesting to see if he gains strength after he announces or weakens under the microscope.
