And it’s real doubtful that Romney can either at this stage of the game.
Another Romney puff-piece designed to imply that Romney is inevitable.
Can you say “Propaganda” boys and girls?
Santorum runs strongest outside his own back yard.
Nor can Romney. The convention will be one hell of a party
Of course this is a pro-Romney puff piece but there is an important nugget of truth buried in the numbers that nobody talks about much at all:
In this race, with Romney marginally ahead, Gingrich and Santorum are splitting the anti-Romney vote without necessarily splitting the anti-Romney delegates.
In a state that requires a 15 or 20 percent minimum, the lesser of the 2 non-Romneys (if he falls below that minimum) doesn’t just split the vote, he sabotages the vote in Romney’s favor.
Something tells me Rick could easily make up the missing delegates from the batch that were not counted in this scenario. This reads as an exercise in pushing Mittens.
Who gives a shi!. If Romney wins he will lose to King Obama and all this crap means nothing. Only Newt could have saved America.
“Remember that one candidate is already at the 50% level”
And what candidate might that be?
‘Cause it sure isn’t Romney..
It is 100% the failure of the GOP that we find our country in this position. PERIOD.
Obviously, Santorum or Romney would be crushed by Obama. Therefore, it is imperative to nominate Gingrich OR someone else who can beat Obama.
In order for that to happen, Romney has to be beaten on the floor first.
Yes, agreed.
Oh Dear if Mittens already has this thing showed up.
Go ahead and hold the Convention.
At this point I am looking for a Brokered Convention. The GOP-e are going to have a fight on their hands.
Yep. Good to know an anti-Santorum piece confirms what we all knew - that it is possible for Santorum to win without going to convention.
And it isn’t possible for Newt to do the same.
—Only Newt could have saved America.—
Personally, I don’t think anyone can. The bus is going 70 MPH and the brick wall is 50 feet in front of us. It really doesn’t matter much who is driving the bus when it hits. As a passenger, I saw the wall and nobody would listen. So I’ve at least gotten as much soft stuff between myself and the seat in front of me as I could for the last 100 feet. We’ll see if it matters...
The point now is to get beyond the first ballot at the convention. Then, all delegate pledges disappear.
Mitt Romney bravely defended France when Americans were dying in Vietnam. Vive le poulet!
I don’t want anybody to drop out... or rather, I realize that it’s unrealistic to ask a candidate to drop out.
What I want is for conservatives to coalesce. And to effectively coalesce we have to put aside our personal preferences and go with who has the best chance of beating Romney.
The Gingrich surge (sadly) has come to an end. So I’m advocating we coalesce around Santorum.
If Gingrich pulls out a miracle today (outside of GA), I’ll change my tune.
Well, I live in Virginia and will not be going to the polls today. With two choices (neither of which I like) and no ability to write-in, why bother.
If I were in your shoes, I would vote for Ron Paul as the only way to express a NOT-ROMNEY vote. Anything which keeps Romney from getting the nomination is good for conservatism and the country. I'm not sure what might come from a brokered convention but it can't be worse than Romney.
My suggestion to vote for Ron Paul is in no way an endorsement of him but just a way to vote against Romney.
