I am becoming more and more convinced that Gingrich is the go to guy to beat Romney and it is just so sad that there are still three in the race to split the “not Romney vote”. The scum bag will slide into the nomination just like McCain did and we’ll lose just like with McCain if he does.
My vote is effectively meaningless, By the time of our open primary here in Illinois, it will have already been decided.

Hey I wouldn’t give up yet. Don’t buy the establishment media B.S. about Romney’s “inevitability.” They’ve shown to me that their constant pushing of this narrative is a sign that they are trying to convince THEMSELVES of this eventuality.
The most telling sign the other day was Yahoo/AP running a headline titled something like “Romney Opens Up 21 Point Lead in S.C.” Then you look into it a little and find out it’s a freaken INTERNET poll! Since when has a supposedly credible media outlet EVER even REPORTED on this type of poll, much less made it one of their lead wire stories?
No, they want you to have this type of reaction like there’s nothing you can do, cause they know that it is highly likely after S.C. that at least 1 of the 3 conservatives will drop out, then there will be further consolidation. They also know that the Liberal Romney brand doesn’t play too well down south, and if the GOP voters think there is a viable conservative alternative they will flock to him. One last thing, this primary will be unlike any other because of there are no “winner take all” contests until April. This makes for a protracted battle by design.
So to counter all these factors working against them, they are desperately trying to cement into our heads the narrative that this year is just like any other election cycle and “whoever wins the first few contests becomes the nominee.” I don’t buy it and neither should you.
I don’t think it’s over yet, even if Romney wins SC and Florida.
Florida is an expensive TV market. Therefore, if Perry comes in 5th as expected, I think he will drop out.
That will leave Newt and Santorum vs Romney. Even if both stay in, and Romney wins Florida, he’d still have less than 100 delegates.
I think one would drop out then.
And going forward into Super Tuesday, with 500 delegates up for grabs, it would be Non-Romney vs Romney, one on one.
It is not be over. Even if Romney wins SC and Florida.
