I just got very depressed listening to the Fox Sunday panel.

They have not only declared Newt dead, but have tossed dirt on his grave.

One of the things mentioned is that there’s not another debate until Feb. 22nd.

Debates have been Newt’s savior as he doesn’t have Romney money and he usually takes the debates hands down.

The spending gap between Newt and Romney is astronomical. It’s almost as if Romney can buy the presidency because he’s tired of his other hobbies.

I agree with Rod that Romney showed his colors (again) when he said the healthcare issue was not worth ‘getting mad about.’

I think it was Rush who said that he used that line to make it seem like Santorum was an angry guy, which is one way he’s been painted.

What I’m most scared of is that this primary has been so divisive that, if by some nightmare chance we get Romney, that people won’t vote for him.

Four more years of Obama would do us in.

Let’s hope Newt can win Florida and gain some momentum.

And I’m telling you, Brit Hume positively crosses the line of objective journalism when it comes to Newt.

He despises Newt.

That outcome has less to do with the "divisive" nature of the primary (which divisiveness is primarily due to Romney's actions), and more to do with Romney's lack of good character.

I'm not scared of that outcome - in fact, I'd cheer it. If the GOP is of a mind that Romney is a good and principled standard bearer for what the GOP stands for, then I will work to drive a stake through the party. It would, in my eye, be an evil entity.

The problem is that I don't see Gingrich being able to win against Obama.

If Romney does win FL, this will be the 2nd time Gingrich has been sailing at #1, only to drop like a rock by the time of the voting. IA was the first.

I posted in another thread that, if Gingrich and his supporters thought Bloody Thursday was bad, wait until a nominee Gingrich finds out what Muddy/Blood October holds. It will make Bloody Thursday look like Saturday morning cartoons.

And, I just don't see Romney being able to win either.

Santorum had a great debate last week, but it wasn't enough to put him anywhere near the top. So, neither he nor Paul are viable candidates for the nomination.

It seems the GOP has managed to shoot themselves in the foot again and will manage to pull defeat out of the jaws of what seemed like an assured victory 12 months ago.

A brokered convention might save the GOP, except that they would probably go with the Jeb guy and that would assure them of a November defeat.

You may be right. I won’t vote for that lying snake Romney under any circumstances. I don’t vote for left-wing, statist, slime merchants. Not even ones who put Rs after their names.
