I am not buying this as being accurate. It is manipulation. Be careful putting your reliance in the media. Their goal is to keep control.

Oh, I agree with you... This race is far from settled and I don’t buy any of the current media narratives, especially ones that claim Mitt Romney has all but sewn up the nomination.

Out of curiosity... Since you aren’t buying into these polls, what do you think is an accurate picture of the race as it stands right now?

"I am not buying this as being accurate. It is manipulation. Be careful putting your reliance in the media. Their goal is to keep control."

There's no real meaningful person in this pot left to 'manipulate'. If you believe it, then it bears out what Santorum has done to Romney (which is closer to the truth). If you don't, then it's really either Mitt or Newt. Any way you look at this, the media doesn't know which way to turn.

They can have all the control as long as Santorum is our candidate. I have no problem with them forcing Santorum on us. We should be so honored that they are forcing such a principled, moral who has such great character on us. Man if the media would force someone like Santorum on us every election, we would be in great shape.

Rick Santorum wasn't a lot of people's first choice, but he's obviously the only choice left now. Most Conservatives liked him just fine, but were supporting other candidates they thought were good Conservatives as well. At this point he's the only one in the race who is a Conservative, and he can easily beat Obama. He is the only Republican I will vote for out of those who are left. If Romney or Gingrich win I will vote for a some hopeless third party, or I will not vote for President. It's getting so bad it's hard to see any real positive change through voting when we can't even get a Conservative nominated. We have to work like hell to slow liberalism, and we have shown no success in actually stopping it, or reversing it.

Gingrich should drop out and endorse Santorum since he's not showing he has what it takes. Then Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, Fred Thompson, etc. should all endorse and campaign strong for Santorum. I wish Gingrich would do the right thing, but I doubt he will. I wish Cain and Thompson would change their endorsement over to Santorum regardless, although I don't see that either unless Gingrich gets out or has a dramatic fall. It's disappointing that Palin and Bachmann won't strongly endorse him, and then start campaigning for him hard. If all those guys would have gotten behind the last Conservative left with not only an endorsement, but with active campaigning with him, and helping him raise the money he will need then I think he could win easily.

Palin seemed too sacred to make a long shot endorsement only to now have Gingrich stalling and Santorum rising. It makes since considering the choices us TEA party members are left with. Bachmann really hurt her image by looking like she was just looking for the VP spot to balance out a liberal card. Cain disappointed everyone by asking for donations, and promising not to give in to the liberal media literally until the day before he dropped out. Then it was known he would endorse Gingrich, or no one.

Santorum is the only Conservative left, and he's doing better than Gingrich. People need to switch over to him and be honest about it. If they didn't think he could win they can admit that, and explain they are supporting him now because they feel he can. If we could ever get Conservatives behind a Conservative it would really help out. Endorsements may not mean a lot by themselves, but when they get out there and campaign for them they can bring in a lot of money and positive attention that makes the difference.
