"With that said, I find it amazing that Santorum (who we last saw get wiped out by 18 freaking point in 2006 by Bob Casey) is somehow more of a viable candidate than Rick Perry, elected 3-times as governor of Texas."Didn't you get the memo? Perry is stupid ... and what's worse, he's from Texas. Oh, and he flew C-130's in the military. He's just an all around bad American. And he's from Texas. And he smokes Gardasil. And he's from Texas.

LOL. We’ll see about that. I’m betting Romney doesn’t even get over 25% in SC.

So...when given the choice between RINO Romney and Commie Obama you would rather hand the country to Obama..... nice....no wonder we are where we are. stupid is what stupid does....
No, that is not a valid choice.
You start out right from the start with a choice that is a distinction without much difference.
Give me an actual choice, one that does not involve voting for a Man(Myth) whose words cannot be trusted who has been on both side of every issue important to conservatives multiple times THROUGHOUT his career.
Give me someone who actually will re-inforce DADT.
Give me someone who does not and did not believe in the Man-Made Global Warming scam.
Give me someone who does not support Abortion, unlike Myth, who depending on the day you talk to him, either supports in in some fashion or doesn't.
Give me someone who will actually cut the size of Government (Myth does not believe in this idea)
Give me someone who does not believe or support the Individual Mandate and who will not lie about his MythCare being something about States Rights.
Give me someone who is not a Globalist (Myth is a Globalist).
Either give me an actual real choice, or the only choice I have is to vote American Independent or write in an actual conservative.
I will not be played for a fool by the GOP again.
If the GOP will not give me a choice, then I vote for GRIDLOCK which will be the "Least Damage" choice going forward if Myth is the GOP nominee.

Bush was a staunch social conservative and therefore rallied the So-Cons to get elected eight years.Not to hear many on FR and in the conservative blogosphere tell it.
Who is your candidate? Romney?
Hardly. Palin was my candidate, so I got burned.
I will not be staying home on election day and I will not vote for Obama or Paul.
At this point Santorum may be our best shot, but he is already being called a "big government conservative" by people who should know better.
To: wideawake
Something a lot of folks are forgetting is that Perry is probably the only candidate who can draw Southerners, active and retired Military veterans and, yes, Southern Democrats!
How about forgetting the polls for a few minutes and concertrate on pushing viable candidates. When the top tier gets through trashing each other in New Hampshire, the story in South Carolina and Florida might be a whole lot different.

None the less...it will be the choice unless we conservatives pull together. Its up to the south now. When this is all sorted out you may have an unpleasant decision to make....which one will be on your shoulders, not mine...I know what the correct one will be.

If you think that Myth Romney is the correct choice under any circumstances, you could not be more wrong.
If Myth is the answer, you are not going to solve the problem, but just make it worse.

Not all of them. Florida is winner-take-all.

The idea that a candidate can “win” an election with merely a plurality, even a small plurality of the vote is a symptom of a broken voting system. The idea that we would force candidates to get out to avoid “splitting the vote” simply because our voting system isn’t set up to truly capture the will of the people in a multi-candidate race is completely undemocratic.
The current voting system easily allows a fringe candidate who is only supported by a minority of voters to win the election even though the MAJORITY doesn’t want him. Either we change the system, or we get ready for that to happen more and more often as more people get wiser to how the system can be gamed against the will of the people.
All of the consternation over these multi-candidate elections could be rendered obsolete by simply modifying the voting system into something that would truly reflect the will of the people.
Here are some options for changing the voting system:
*Allow voters to pick 3 different choices from the group, all equally given one vote. This change is easiest, but still doesn’t fully reflect the will of the people.
*Allow voters to fill in a 2nd and 3rd runner-up choice, or even rank all the candidates in order of preference. This is basically instant runoff voting, which has been tried in some small elections. Some states require an actual runoff election when no candidate wins over 50% of the vote. Thats the right principle, but its cheaper to simply ask people’s second choices on paper rather than hold another election. This is probably the best option, not too difficult to understand and reflects the will of the people well.
*Have voters score each candidate, scale of 1-10, 1-5, grade A/B/C/D/F. Anything works. It makes it possible to add up how much voters like each candidate so that the winner will be the one most liked. This one represents the will of the people better than any other although it forces the voter to think a little harder.

Santorum is my choice. But I guess I would have to take a strong drink and vote Romney if he runs against Obama. Reason No. 3: Eric Holder.

I agree. I think the Romney campaign is propping up Santorum to avoid a single conservative in the race.
And why is SC the final state?
This primary system is a farce!

If Romney wins South Carolina it's pretty much over (yes I know proportional balloting and all that). But let's face it, if he can come in first in the deep south it's over unless he's caught with a live boy or dead hooker in the next few weeks. So the next question is, are we going to line up behind McCain v2.0 like good little soldiers or are we going to look for a 3rd party alternative? I will never vote for Romney. I am not rewarding the E for shoving a liberal Republican down our throats. I'll vote 3rd party or write-in.

I think it would be good if in SC Newt directed his supporters to get behind Santorum in return for something similiar from Santorum. I’d almost prefer a brokered convention to Mitt because I really wonder if he has the steel for the campaign. He is very good at losing campaigns.
