You realize the flip side of this is that Santorum and Gingrich can only win states the GOP will win anyway right? And states like Ohio and Wisconsin (and hopefully Michigan) will be battleground states in November anyway.

The truth is the more liberal the candidate the better they do in urban areas, the more conservative, the better they do in rural areas. There is no shock here, everyone knows this. Unfortunately, more people live in urban areas.

What is the point of going on with this? Romney sucks. Pretty much no one here likes him. Not many liked McCain or Dole either. We are going to have a dud as a nominee. The math is the math. Conservatives did not put up a compelling candidate this cycle and the result is the establishment hug-the-center RINO is going to be the nominee. I am for Gingrich (was for Perry first till he proved to me he didn’t have the communication skills for the job), but at this point I know he isn’t going to win. The problem is Santorum is not seen as a credible alternative by major sections of GOP primary voters that would have liked to have a decent non-Romney to vote for.

So what now? Attack Willard all the way to the election or suck it up and vote for the RINO and hope it is enough to at least knock Hussein out of the White House. I mean, that is where we are at now. Pointing out what a flawed candidate Romney is here on FR didn’t help us stop him from coasting to the nomination, and it sure isn’t going to help us defeat Obummer. In the end pretty much all conservative and non-Romney politicians, including Newt and Santorum, are going to endorse and campaign for Mitt anyway - and so will Perry, Palin, etc. So just how long are we going to go on with the temper tantrum?

Don't worry about us. Just do as your master tells you and mind your own business.

The way to win is with Santorum or Gingrich, and use the Bush 2000 or 3004 models.

Win the South and Midwest.

Then duke it out in Ohio, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado and New Hampshire and possibly pick up Michigan or Pennsylvania (if Santorum is the nominee)

Oh yea, just like Dole and McCain, except without personality, service record, and no conservative credentials. That'll happen...

I'm not going to vote for a Democrat who runs on either ticket.
