I dislike absentee ballots & early voting more & more each day.

Romney has been pandering to the absentee voters——& many votes- over 200,000 have already been cast in Florida before the debates there.

I wonder how many voters would change their vote after Mitt’s tax returns have been perused???

That alone would have changed my vote away from Mitt.

Santorum is not a viable national alternative, he will not win a national election for President.

Have you noticed that when Willard is not spouting off memorized lines and then often glancing down at his notepad, he studders and stammers and acts more like someone who dropped out of jr. high school than a Harvard grad? That’s another area where he’s alot like Barry Soreto. Like those that think Soreto is a rocket scientist, when in fact he’s your averate ghetto jive talking punk he when loses his teleprompter.
Willard the liberal ain’t much smarter. Newt NEVER stammers and studders and sounds like an idiot talking. He speaks with an average cadence, with precise thoughts and you can you can actually understand what he says. Santorum is also a good speaker. Paul speaks like he’s in the early stages of althimers. Romney, half the time, studders and stammers and speaks just like a security guard has just busted him for shoplifting. It’s funny as hell. Listen to him the next time he has to say something off-the-cuff. Its ah, ah, ah, and, and, and, ah, ah, ah.

Well, I live in Florida. Eight votes for Newt on Tuesday in the immediate family. Walked to my neighbors homes, 5 more there. We are doing all we can.

Oh, one more thing. Eighteen year old daughter in college registered republican this year will be bringing her two best friends, who hate what Obama has done, registered them republicans and is driving them to the polls. So, doing all we can.

One more thing, were all Americans of Cuban descent and can’t stand socialism/communism. That’s what Obama is all about. Romney is also too liberal.

Shouldn’t all debates from now on be held in an empty studio? That way, there would be no way for rabid partisans to color the viewers’ evaluation of the candidates’ responses. It might also keep the candidates (and the moderators) from playing to the audience at the expense of thoughtful, reasoned replies.

Just a thought.

Santorum is too generic? Maybe. But last time I checked, a generic Republican candidate was whipping ObaMao soundly. Those who had names and baggage attached to them weren't doing so great.

Oh and the libtards hate Santorum with a passion. Especially the pink mafia. Go to any libtard website to see what they are saying about him. One reason he isn't being slimed is that there just isn't much to slime him with. He is a boring, reliable married family man with fairly predictable conservative positions. IOW, exactly what this country needs right now.

An Insider Advantage Poll is already showing a tightening race to within the margin of error. And two days still to go. I stand by my prediction: Newt by 3%.

That’s a bold prediction. You’d have national fame if it comes true.

Frankly, Santorum is not going to win the nomination, but he can make sure Romney does.

There are a great deal of fine, conservative family men, that doesn't mean they should become President.

That’s the problem! If he were more conservative, I’d like him! But I just can’t stand the way he’s treated the other candidates, and I don’t think his platform or his past history justify it. If he had followed Newt’s advice from the start and didn’t treat everyone who was against him like they weren’t really “conservative”, I’d have probably forgiven his various political heresies.

Darned if he didn’t totally put his finger on how Romney is. I’ve also gotten a kick out of this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9L9A1IMTQo, which has a strong element of truth to it and is therefore hilarious.

exactly right! This is not a horse race where you try to vote for the guy you think will win just so you can say you “won”. Pick the best candidate.... Pick Rick!

So long at Rick Santorum and Newt get more votes combined than mittens we should continue to support Rick Santorum because he had less baggage than Newt and is a far more principled conservative that will surely beat Obama in the General election. Ron Paul is funded by George Soros and most of his votes will go third party.

Yeah, I agree, While Newt did not do well in the last debate, neither did Romney. The only winner was Santorum, (and maybe Ron Paul for some good laughs).

Mitt Romney. He always underperforms his polling. You can argue over the reasons.

I'll add "enthusiasm" to the list of reasons. A significant portion of Romney respondents in a poll are simply unmotivated enough to take themselves to the polls on election day (or early voting). It's one thing to be presented with a list and pick the one you like best, it's entirely another thing to be enthusiastic enough about your choice (either for or against) to go out and vote in a primary.
