Well, it was fun while it lasted. Nothing like having your enemy do your dirty work for you before the general election. Much can be said about vetting the candidates, but this has been particularly brutal...and a boon to Obama.
Are you just a newbie, or a newbie for Willard?
Agree. Why the glee over the supposed Santorum collapse? The person gaining is Romney.
I would get it if Rick’s decrease in numbers were coupled with an increase in Newt’s numbers, but they’re not.
It’s gonna take a miracle for Newt to win now.
In the meantime, I wish people would realize that a Santorum collapse only helps Romney and his little dwarf friend Ron Paul.
Mitt Romney has won, or will win, the following states:
New Hampshire
Florida
Nevada
Arizona
California
Virginia
Massachussetts
Rhode Island
Connecticut
New York
Vermont
New Jersey
Maine(?)
Your sentiments indicate that you'd like to give Michigan to Romney as well. Which just about wraps it up for Romney.
Your misplaced, dripping hatred for Santorum only contributes to Romney's nomination as the GOP candidate.
The dripping hatred for Santorum is all over this forum. And notice how many of the posts attacking him mention God or “Saint” or some other religious reference.
If this is what FR is becoming, I want no part of it.
It’s starting to look like Santorum is starting to tank, Soon, he will be going in the right direction all across the country, down.
I participated in a teleconference with Newt this morning... it was very enjoyable. Newt will make a great president for our times.
** President Newt Gingrich-”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”
Seems odd doesn’t it that conservatives here are so excited and happy with a poll that shows one conservative dropping 2 points, another conservative moving nowhere, and Romney gaining 3 points?
You are right about Santorum in the sense at least I had no idea of his spending record in congress. The more I learn, less I like him and quickly moving back to Newt.
But there is one bit of good news in the poll for conservatives:
TRIALHEAT CHANGE
Obama 49% -2
Santorum 48%
Every news story is “new” when it first comes out. If you look at what has historically appeared on “breaking news”, it’s been things that were significant events, like a nuclear plant breaking, or a big shooting, or a major announcement by a candidate.
Look, just because people don’t like Santorum and don’t want him to be their president, doesn’t mean they “hate” the man.
** President Newt Gingrich-”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”
I know the difference between hatred and disagreement, thanks. The religious nature of the attacks on Santorum are a dead giveaway.
But isn’t that poll before the miracle of the debate, after which all polls will show Newt at 110%, and Romney and Santorum in negative numbers, as the other half of the country registers to vote just so they too can pick Newt Gingrich, the Great.
Actually, it’s a gift to romney. All polls show Ricks votes won’t go to Newt, but to Romney. Mayber your Paul supporters, which means your a romney supporter, so this is ok with you?
We are heading for a lost. The media keeps up the trickery;embedding in people’s minds that Newt cannot win etc. though, knowing he could beat Obama and take on his radical agenda. Build up Rick/ move us away from the strongest person. Once, Rick is out of the way, full steam ahead. If Newt is not the candidate, one can assume, the worse. People are being played about Newt. Newt has the experience. He tells the truth about Obama. The others try to stand up/but they are not at Obama’s level to even show the difference of theology. Even Romney boards are saying they need to watch for a comeback from Newt. Rush has picked the wrong guy though he is helping Romney-I know people don’t see that. The media is winning and playing this like a fine instrument. We have split the vote to stop Mitt, never uniting after Perry dropped out. The soc cons cannot win by themselves. I pray Newt makes it/if not, we are screwed to have a fight with the radicals/I am sick of playing safe with a weak person or a weaker person. It is so dumb that Americans are this uninformed and just seem to want go along without fighting like hell..sorry..I just want to battle with the radicals/tired of them. I can see Newt turning around things. I hope convention gives us Newt or another fighter-but we know who that is..only 2 people I can think of who are reformers (Sarah and Newt, the real kind) Is there anyone else? Paul, demint, Christie, Jeb, Get real. Newt and Palin, get this done.. This time, she would have the other running mate defending her vs. McCain keeping Palin in her place/saying what she could or could not say. The media put her in hell-she may not want to relive it due to her love of family.
That’s because I have a theory that many of these so called freepers that are disparaging Christianity in their references to Rick Santorum are really MITTbots who instead of promoting him (that would get the the easy ZOT, are instead taking cues from their master and carpet bombing him on FR and forums like this)..

I agree. I have to keep reminding myself it's Newt's supporters that are saying these things, not Newt himself. Newt's my second choice, but his supporters have almost turned me against him. They remind me of the Palin bashers who couldn't resist the temptation to criticize her every move.
Rising slowly, but rising: Newt.
????????
So, with Michigan, Romney will get 14 states (if you include Maine), and that seals the deal? There aren't 57 sates, but there are a lot more than 27.......
