See we have this process, for deciding our candidate.
It’s called the primaries. I’m all for Santorum - I really am, but I’m also all for letting the candidates slug it out, fair and square.
Let the primaries work. Americans vote. Best candidate win.
No need to be pedantic. What Dan means is that anyone with media (read: we do not k ow where they get their marching orders so their bias is NOT necessarily a legit part of the process) support, who was “inevitable” 3 years before the election, should not just win by media fawning and trickery. If we don’t want Mitt foisted upon us, which we as conservatives DO NOT, we need to put all our effort behind the one guy who can beat him.
And Newt is far out of the game now. If all the brilliant, strong, fighting FReepers would put their effort behind Rick, we have a chance. Otherwise it could be over on Super Tuesday because people insist on Newt and thus don’t engage in the actual fight.
Maybe JimRob will decide to turn his support for Santorum this week, to help us stop this odious Rom-mentum. That might help.
DELEGATE RACE AS IT STANDS NOW:
Romney- 142, of those 26 are non-binding= 116 solid
Santorum- 59, of those 44 are non-binding= 15 solid
Gingrich- 32, of those 2 are non-binding= 30 solid
Paul- 20, of those 12 are non-binding= 8 solid
POPULAR VOTE TOTALS:
Romney- 1,746,046
Gingrich- 977,272
Santorum- 929,807
Paul- 462,187
Over, huh? Talk to us after Super Tuesday.......

I’m thinking Palin could win a brokered convention.
Just saying.
She’s gone quiet the last couple weeks. Remember she was the first one identified by and then against whom, the Mittens’ devious slime machine went after.
If there’s anyone out there most motivated, and most in a position to blindside the Mitt juggernaut with complete effect, it’s Palin.
If she’s going to make some move, if there indeed has been an ‘unconventional’ gameplan as many have suspected.
Now might be the time.
She would be prudent if so, to say something to reframe the message this week.
Something about, say ... GAS PRICES. (hint, hint)
:D
