If you asked them why they think Romney’s more “electable” what do they say? Hopefully it’s not the polls since Kerry was ahead by Bush all year up to at least 4 months before election day when he was ahead by 7 points.

IMO, Newt won SC in part because of the anti-Bain ads. Even though voters may have disagreed with the attacks, found them anti-capitalist or whatever, it showed them what Romney will be facing in the Fall that will make him unelectable against Obama. Because Newt won by so much in SC those Bain ads weren’t decisive, but they could have made the different in FL precisely because they showed what Mitt’s glass jaw would be in the fall. Newt will not win the primary if he doesn’t go back to attacking Romney’s business career, albeit preferably with sharper, more defined attacks.

The "early voting" is PACKED with Romney-the-RINO votes, and I don't think NEWT can overcome the ballots already cast against him.

I am not sure how many millions of dollars of RNC and PAC monies have flooded the FL airwaves with anti-Newt garbage, but you can rest assured the State-Run-Media will be saying "it's a done deal; the Romney Nomination is a foregone conclusion".

Be prepared for 4 additional years of corruption and destruction of this country when that happens.

Cheating. It’s Florida.

Isn’t Mitt’s advisor the same one Charlie Crist used?

I don’t believe *any* of the polls anymore. They are meant to dissuade likely voters from going to the polls, and make voters feel like their vote will be wasted if they vote their heart ( for the true conservative in this case).

I’m so sick of the media leading the way, I’m sick of the nastiness, the Pelosi threat — wish she’d just pack up her face and go fade away.

The BIG STINKER in South Carolina was the NBC/Marist poll, which 4 days before the election overstated Romney's strength by a whopping 24 points.

[parksstp]

Oh you know, it’s the standard he looks and sounds “Preidential”, and of course, the polls.

You’re always so cheerful..thanks for the tip.

Hope you’re support of a liar like Romney is very fulfilling for you.

[moonhawk]

“...you guys really need to stop pushing this idea.”

You need to stop telling other people what to do.

[JSteff]

Be prepared for 4 additional years of corruption and destruction of this country when that happens.

The real sad part is whether it is O or mit that holds true. Both are corrupt and socialist and we are done either way. Mit is slightly less an outright socialist than O is.

The other good thing would be that Mit might appoint a conservative to SCOTUS... and we already know what o will do.. we might end up with... that could even be Justice Aeyers... or Aeyere AND Justice Bernadette Dorn.

God save the U.S.A.

I see him as a nasty, spiteful, little man with grandiose, unrealistic expectations. “ I don’t see Rick as nasty, just out of his league. He doesn’t even realize that he’s out of his league.

Anyone who wins, left or right, has to have some connection with the people -- call it charisma.

It is totally irrelevant how good Santorum is on the issues. Santorum has ZERO charisma.

Santorum it truly delusional if he thinks all of a sudden there will be a groundswell of support for him. He will never ignite the people to get behind him. He will never be President.

He is helping Mitt by staying it -- to deny that is to deny reality.

[Rick_Michael]

I think your wrong. 2/1 newt sounds more like it...from the polls I’ve seen. It would help Newt a lot.

[GVnana]

That’s one for the history books.

Geaux Newt!

aren’t moderate/liberal/RINO’s etc, but they are being suckered into the whole electability argument.

Romneycare vs obamacare - LOL! It's not rocket science mitt doesn't have a chance in hell against barry. Kookie, Ron Paul has a better chance, NEVER mitt. He's the ONLY candidate that couldn't defeat barry.

What am I always amazed at the stupidity of voters. I'm talking double dip dumb! Fear does that to people. And fear is from the media. So these voters cannot and do not think on their own. And it's obvious they have NO conservative values to stand on - otherwise, they could NEVER vote for his con man, lying snake in the grass POS.

[presently no screen name]

I agree. Mitt is not only nasty, he’s the father of lies.

But that doesn’t say Santorum isn’t nasty and it’s time for him to take off his halo. He has lied repeatedly about Newt - that’s when I saw him as he truly is. LIARS are nasty!

[presently no screen name]

You know what, I don’t believe your post about ‘your friends’. Call it wisdom and discernment on my part.

[Does so]

"...FL has A LOT of moderate/liberal voters, to the point they do make up a plurality of GOP voters. It’s quite possible, depending on turnout, that Romney’s vote total may exceed Gingrich and Santorum combined. If that happens, then what will the excuse be...?

Did Newt get a standing ovation in Florida debates, as he in in SC?

"Pollster Frank Luntz...'I've never seen it in a debate — and I've been to debates for 16 years — a standing ovation in the middle of a debate...'"

Is a standing ovation still permitted by the MSM?

[PapaNew]

So you're telling me there's a chance.

Hope for the best. God, pull our country out of the fire and save Her once again.

[georgiagirl_pam]

No, he will get 50 instead of 99. BUT...... I am believing Newt for an upset and HE will get the 50! Go Newt and Go Florida conservatives!

[georgiagirl_pam]

Because it really had nothing to do with his Mormonism. (were you being sarcastic, a la John McCain?) :)
