I get it; everyone here hates Romney. And yes, your guy (Santorum) would make a great POTUS, but he’s polling at about 3%.

So wouldn’t it make sense for people here to say who they ARE supporting other than Romney?

I adore Duncan Hunter, and wish that he, Jim DeMint, Paul Ryan or someone with those politics were running for POTUS. But they are not. So what’s your Plan B other than eviscerating Romney?

STEP 1 is to defeat Romney sufficiently to knock him out of the race. This differs from the way Dole was defeated in NH in ‘96. He recovered and went on to be nominated.

STEP 2 only after step 1 is complete, at that point the Republican party folks can get about the business of finding a nominee that is acceptable to the conservative grassroots. Frankly, people who are not involved in the party will have little influence over who that nominee is. My guess is that if Romney is stopped ... Newt will get it. But at least at that point the race for the nomination becomes a free-for-all and a real contest.

My own opinion is that until step 1 is completed, everthing else is bullshit.

And whoever starts to run a close 2nd to Mitt in NH, I will support him. I won’t support anyone running at 12% there. It accomplishes nothing.

Cain, Perry, or Gingrich. What's yours?

The logic of your argument is highly suspect. It is, just in case you don't know, remarkably similar to the demands the Brits made on the French settlers in Acadia ~ to wit, swear allegiance to the King of England or else.

Since their colony, Acadia, had been a joint French/Scottish operation, and they were already in allegiance to the King of England, many groused about needing to swear allegiance TWICE, not just ONCE like all other subjects.

They got shipped out forthwith.

So, what I'm saying is this ~ if you are going to make demands like the King of England be prepared to be met with complaints about how silly your demands are.
