Quit trying to cheer us up... :-)
That was my take on it too
In his OWN BACK YARD he cannot get more than 35% support
That is why the liberal media want him so bad
and I bet half those voters were democrats who crossed over to vote in OUR primary
Yes, but new FR fave Newton Leroy barely polled 10%. We need new blood in this race.
I agree. Romney under-performed. He fell way short of expectations.
I don’t think he will get over 25-30 percent in any state outside of New England.
Someone else who under-performed was Newt Gingrich. He spent a lot more time and money than Santorum in New Hampshire, but Santorum was able to garner a tie.
Like Romney, Gingrich fell well short of expectations.
The race is between Romney, Paul and Santorum. Santorum is now carrying the flag for the anti-Romney conservatives.
Gingrich should drop out. He is just splitting the conservative vote even though he does not have a chance.
A vote for Gingrich is a vote for Romney.
.
Willard can’t even get a measly 40% in his home state.
I wonder what Newt would get in Georgia, or Huck in Arkansas, or Palin in Alaska?
I would think 50% minimum.
That’s exactly the point. (Apart from his policies being anathema.)
He’s a loser. Just like Juan McQueeg.
That’s why the establishment press want him to be our nominee so badly. He’s just as big a socialist as The Usurper, so even if by some quirk he should win, we still lose.
And when push comes to shove - he won’t win.
One of 10 mansions..
So you resent him because he’s rich?? That sounds more like Obama.
Santorum said he was going to ask for pensioners to immediately accept a reduction in their S/S checks. I’m a great grandpa and I won’t let that happen. Santorom is history to the Boomers.
The majority of voters in NH also didn’t vote for any of the other candidates. Your point?
Your logic reminds me of the 9/11 Truthers’ logic.
Romney is fighting a war of attrition.
There should be IQ test required to post. Your and idiot. Probably nice guy, just an idiot post.
Actually, sadly, it was Newt and Santorum that under-performed.
Add to that that Hhlf of Huntsman’s vote was from people who claimed they were “liberal” so I believe he got most of the crossover, along with the libertarian persuasion going with Paul.
Unless the conservatives can get behind one candidate soon, then Mitt will be the nominee.
...and regardless of whether we like it or not, he is running a smart campaign. He was not expected to win in Iowa...but he did. He was expected to be 2nd or 3rd there.
He was polling in the mid thirties in NH and our conservatives hoped to knock him down to 30%...now with 96% counted he’s at 40% with 30,000 more votes in NH than he got four years ago.
Huntsman, Gingrich, Santorum, and Perry combined do not have the votes he got.
So...he’s doing what he has to do and the conservatives are not responding to it well.
I believe unless we boil it down to one conservative candidate after SC, and partcularly if Mitt wins SC (where he is polling 20 points ahead now), that we may not get another chance.
This nomination is wide open.
