Perplexing but true: Mitt Romney is on the glide path to the most easily secured nomination a Republican presidential candidate has ever had

I'll write in "Tim Tebow" (so he isn't 35 yet.)

Not for nothing did she say this:

Palin: “GOP better not marginalize Ron Paul and his supporters”

No matter. There's no proof that Obama is 35 either.
bttt
Sorry. I don’t get the point of your post @42.
Fixed it.
However, it's still true that Noot > Romney.
Willard seems to think he is entitled to his CAMELOT, but he is more like Al Gore, who also thought he had entitlements.
viable, credible, feasible, possible
“Santorum is a serious candidate.
No real conservative would doubt this.”
My observation is that although Mr. Santorum takes himself seriously, and although those on the right take him seriously as well, he lacks the “electoral horsepower” to win on the national stage.
By contrast, Mr. Romney has at least a _little_ more of that “horsepower” than does Mr. Santorum, but nobody takes him seriously... :)
With that criteria I would say that Santorum is not yet a serious candidate. He doesn’t have the funds raised or the organization in place to run in all the States needed on Super Tuesday.
And everyday the road gets longer and harder without the funds in hand and the people in place.
South Carolina is a make or break election. If Romney (or Paul) wins, the game is over. Money dries up from the other candidates and it’s trying to put lipstick on our pig to beat the lipsticked pig the Democrats are stuck with.
If someone else wins, all the money from the “Not-Mitt” movement shifts to them. Then we have a race to the nomination. If Santorum wins South Carolina, he will become a serious candidate, but he just isn’t one yet.
I won't vote for Romney.
Ditto...no Romney, no way.
Mitt Romney: South Carolina not concerned about electing ‘pastor-in-chief’
Mitt: "In your Face, Evangelicals, Christians"!
It’s hard trying to figure out what’s going on with Gingrich. Strong establishment streak in him, true. But the current establishment has gone all out against him. If this is a sincere effort on their part, it means they fear him and therefore he is likely a good choice for our country.
If nothing else, Gingrich might have the creative intelligence and maybe even the cojones to do something radical like reestablishing the legal and political authority of our Constitution.
Just this, "Not for nothing" did she say that. :)
Sorry, my give-a-damn's busted. I'm no Paul fan, but if the party and MSM succeeds in shoving Romney down our throats like, it looks like they're on the verge of doing, I really couldn't care less if Romney gets heckled and has his coronation disrupted. I'll just grab my popcorn and enjoy the show...
Fine. So he’s a potentially serious candidate. The way I see things, this is the same as being a serious candidate.

That's been my position as well. I might have held my nose and voted for McCain but Romney is a bridge way too far.
If I'm accused of electing Obama by my actions, so be it. I think that Obama with a hostile Congress would do less damage to our nation than Romney with a compliant Congress. Even a strongly-conservative Congress would have difficulty contending seriously with a President of their own party. Besides, the Republican establishment needs to hear us once and for all: NO MORE RINOS.
WINNER, WINNER...CHICKEN DINNER!!!
WE HAVE A WINNER!!!
