Romney talks and talks and talks, like Obama, without saying anything of value, like Obama. Romney is actually worse than Obama because we know what Obama is but Romney is attempting to sell himself as a Teaparty Conservative. We know he is a socialist.
>>And Romney is not it<<
Agreed. If, after South Carolina, one of the “conservatives” (in quotes because I question Gingrich’s claim to that label) of Santorum, Gingrich, and Perry have dropped out, and assuming Paul gets his 15%, that leaves 85% to be split three ways instead of four.
Say Romney gets 30%. The 55% remaining would have to split almost equally for Romney to remain the “frontrunner.” More likely, one of the remaining conservatives will get more than Romney’s 30% and become the new frontrunner.
In the end, one alternative to Romney will be left standing, Paul will have faded, and it will be clear that Romney is not destined to be the GOP nominee, in spite of the constant braying by the GOP establishment figures, and the MSM, that his nomination is “inevitable.”
And, should the conservatives never sort themselves out, we’ll have a brokered convention with the possibility that someone not even currently running receives the nomination. Either that, or the Tea Party is indeed dead. But it’s not.
I did a quick search so I don’t know how accurate this is, but it seems that Romney supported ethanol subsidies but did not support farm subsidies. Would the farm subsidy issue explain, at least in part, of the 75% issue?
75 Percent of Iowans Voted For Someone Besides Romney
75% voted for someone besides Santorum
78% voted for someone other than Paul
82% voted for someonother than Newt
90% voted for someone other than Perry
95% voted for someone other than Bachman
The quote from Micheal Steele in the article just flabbergasts me. I don’t recall him having that sort of sentiment as RNC chairman. That quote sounds more like Rush Limbaugh than Steele.
All four ‘’McLaughlin Group’’ panelists agreed this weekend that Romney is unstoppable. Get used to it. After he wins SC and FL, there is no jumping off spot for anyone else. Santorum has peaked and fizzled, and the divided field leaves Romney essentially unopposed.
