As far as I’ve seen Kristol isn’t backing Romney. He’s pretty much said he wants a brokered convention and wants someone other than the current crop to be the nominee.

I can tell you this.
When Santorum gets the heat applied to him, he is going to wilt like a petunia in the Tx heat.

He has had NO vetting.

[no dems]

In ‘08, Romney won CO with 61 percent of the vote. If he loses CO tonight, Katie bar the door.

Time for Jeb Bush to ride to the rescue! (/sarc)

[GeronL]

yes. I hope he implodes after this.

[VinL]

Could happen. But, you know, Jeb, mitch and christie would also be in the mix. Guy like DeMint might be acceptable to both cons. and GOPe.

Newt does not know how unpopular Rick Perry is in Texas now; after embarrassing this State the way he did with his pathetic run in the Primaries.

[VinL]

Sure he will. He has organization and money backers-

[bigbob]

I know who!

[RushingWater]

How did Mitt get the nickname Mittens? It sounds appropriately derogatory.

[TBP]

Well, an open convention would be fun, anyway.

[mylife]

He’s unpopular with you and a bunch of folks that cant keep their eye on the prize.

I see him working hard to get these new voting districts settled as quickly as possible.

I’m not saying Perry will reenter the race, I’m saying he will help shape it.

[VinL]

Please address your provocations to some one else— it’s not my style. Thanks.

There’s only one non-candidate with a national support network.

I’m interested in how the CPAC keynote goes this weekend.

[true believer forever]

Governor Perry - i love him - is going to be campaigning for Newt steadily till Super Tuesday, and so are Fred Thompson and Herman Cain. They’ve already started.

[cornfedcowboy]

Ahhhhh 1940 and Wendell Wilkie. My grandfather was good friends with Mr. Wilkie. The 1940 convention was one for the ages. Talk about smoke filled back rooms.

[WILLIALAL]

“There’s only one non-candidate with a national support network.”

Are you referring to Palin?

[mylife]

Yup.
And Newt is the ONLY one close to Romney for delegates.
Santorum need to GTFO.

[VinL]

The old conventions were exciting. Now, with these polls, and calls after 1% voting and exit polls— they take the enjoyment out of game.

[WILLIALAL]

“The old conventions were exciting”

How true.
