So Mariner, how much more proof do you need based on what I told you Friday? Again, another tracking poll confirms what I knew all along would happen if Santorum dropped: many supporters would eventually just surrender because they’re just tired of having their candidate ripped to shreds by not just the MSM, but by so called conservatives. Romney goes up, but Newt doesn’t gain anything.
Knowing who the voters are and what the demographics are will get you to that insight.
So now that we have verifiable proof I know what I’m talking about, you got two options:
(1) Help Santorum win Michigan, which should allow him to hold onto Washington on 3 Mar and proceed to win on Super Tuesday in states where he should win OR
(2) Continue spewing the Anti-Santorum crap, let Romney win by 15+ in both MI and AZ, possibly upset in WA and cruise to Super Tuesday upsets where he will be declared the “inevitable” nominee again
Your call..
Newt supporters should vote for Rick Santorum in Michigan. Derail Romney now!
I have not given up re the Republican primaries.
I was speaking about what to do if Romney does clinch the Republican nomination, which I do not take to be inevitable.
The history has been that Romney does not gain momentum after a big win. He tends to get pummeled in the next state. NH led to Newt winning SC. FL led to Rick’s hat trick. The trend is that a win by one of the other guys leads to a huge Romney attack ad blitz winning him the next state, and then the next states swinging back to a conservative. With Rick damaged, that conservative could be Newt.
I still think people should vote for Rick in MI and AZ since Newt has already conceded those states and in the long run, we may need Rick to share his delegates with Newt so they can win at the convention. Super Tuesday is when it will be time to go Newt-clear again.
I’ll call it.
This moment in time is not frozen.
Life and the world move on.
When polls said something different, along each twist and turn, to be consistent you would’ve had to accept each one as “forever”, which I’m quite sure you did not.
If you did, how absurd.
The more general point which I will make again, not for you because you appear to be a one tune, single note piper, piping away every day...but for those who aren’t stuck where you are...
There is no reason on earth or in the solar system or galaxy, or in the common sense we should’ve learned as a child, to believe that only Rick Santorum can defeat Romney and Obama.
That is an obsession bordering on delusion.
Who in the world is Rick Santorum that he now eclipses everyone else as “the only one”, or the “lone saviour”, or whatever??
Balderdash.
