Just as I predicted yesterday (and got flamed for). The attacks on Newt are slowly eroding his support and we are going to get stuck with Romney, who will win with 25% with the conservative vote split too many ways. I am an anybody but Mitt guy, and at this point, I’d be willing to throw my support behind Ron Paul if polls continue to show he has a chance (though I still hope Perry can get a 2nd chance).

Yep, it's 2008 all over again. With Conservatives currently splitting around 25% Newt, 10% Perry, 10% Bachmann, then there are the Paulbots that are a solid 15% or so. That means all Mitt has to do is hold onto around 25% of the party that are RINO's, add another 3%-5% for the democrat/independent crossover primary voters and he's McCain v2.0...

That's how a party that is 75% conservative nominated a "moderate" in 2008...

That's not enough this year, because the GOP has adopted proportional delegates. Romney can't end this fast like the vile McCain did in 2008. This thing could remain a 4-way race through May. Perry and Paul have plenty of cash to stay. Unprecedented.

“Just as I predicted yesterday (and got flamed for). “

that is the one thing i cannot stand about this site. you state reality and you get demonized for it. some people are WAY too over emotional and turn a blind eye and a deaf ear since they cannot accept reality.

Margin of error?

If Newt puts in a strong performance tonight at the debate, I think he will win Iowa, followed by SC & Florida.

He could be #2 or #3 in NH.
