Agree totally. NRO and the RINO’s know that Mitt has been gifted with an early primary calendar full of states stacked in his favor- several home states for him as well as heavily Mormon states, including two of them, Arizona and Michigan, upcoming on the very same day. Skipping the South almost entirely in the first couple months and doing everything possible to muzzle the conservative base. It’s not even slightly representative of the national picture, and it’s all done to help Mitt conceal his weaknesses and the fact that the rank-and-file of the party thorough despise him. NRO and the RINO’s were hoping that Mitt could win all the early states and knock out the true conservatives before the grass-roots in the heartland had a chance to express their preferences. Yet even with this handicap Mitt managed to squander his advantage and lose more states than he won.

That’s why the NRO and other hacks are desperate for Newt to drop out by Super Tuesday, because they know that Mitt’s ridiculous primary calendar handicap comes to an end in March, and after that it’s all downhill for the Romney campaign, no longer able to hide their weaknesses and put up this dog-and-pony show for an uncritical media. With the Southern states finally getting their say on Super Tuesday and beyond, the primary shifts back to Newt’s turf, where his organization, deep roots and national profile give him the edge and where conservatives will finally have their say in the numbers they deserve. Santorum doesn’t yet have the organization or ground game in the South to thrash Mitt there and so without Newt, Romney’s shills could just focus their resources on taking out Santorum and stifling the conservative voice before even half the states have spoken. But Newt is Mitt’s nemesis there, also what makes Newt the strongest candidate nationally- capable of firing up the base and attracting conservatives to the polls which is why his popular vote total is so strong, a tough debater, a tenacious bulldog of a fighter. That’s the only type of candidate who wins major elections, which scares the RINO’s silly. So with Santorum scoring wins across the Midwest and then Newt feeding off his strength in the South- and the two of them also picking off some states in the West and possibly Northeast- Romney and the RINO’s plan to preemptively muzzle the conservative voice is thwarted.

That’s the worst nightmare for Mitt Romney and the RINO’s, because they know that Mitt is toast once the South and the country as a whole finally get their say in what’s so far been a ridiculously unrepresentative and Mitt-friendly series of primaries. Romney is in for a string of humiliating defeats come March, one painful disaster after the other. So sorry to burst your bubble NRO, but we’re not stupid. Newt will make sure that conservatives in the South and other regions of the country are able to have their voice, to loudly reject Mitt and the RINO agenda and to restore conservatism at the top of the ticket.

This is true. See below for a chart of the most conservative states according to Gallup. Only 1 of the top 25 has voted so far. 7 of the bottom 25 have. Almost half of the delegates are in the top 25, the other half in the bottom 25.

What we have to worry about though in winner-take-all states like Tennessee is vote-splitting between Newt and Rick. It would do some serious damage if Romney won that state with a plurality and got all the delegates.

"Mitt Romney and the RINOs" sounds like a good name for a rock band. This could be Romney's fallback career if the whole presidential thing doesn't work out...
