Now we will see the true character of McCain ... what sound bite lie will he let loose tomorrow about Romney?

Noah, you forgot to mention this part of the article:

"Rasmussen Markets data gives McCain an 88.7% chance of winning the nomination while Mitt Romney is at 8.6%."

Not saying you aren't right, but if I had a dollar for every "Romney will be finished after" comment ...

He's been finished since I first said he was. He's still finished. McCain abides.

The odd thing is McCain is spending today and tonight in Massachusetts where Romney is up 20+% depending on the poll (23-32%).

It isn't a winner take all state, I don't believe, so whatever delegates he wins there still count toward the total.

Buy Romney and pay for your son's elementary school tuition. That is easy money.
