A prominent Republican senator just told me that if Romney cant win in Michigan, the Republican Party needs to go back to the drawing board and convince somebody new to get into the race. If Romney cannot win Michigan, we need a new candidate, said the senator, who has not endorsed anyone and requested anonymity. The senator believes Romney will ultimately win in Michigan but says he will publicly call for the party to find a new candidate if he does not. Wed get killed, the senator said if Romney manages to win the nomination after he failed to win the state in which he grew up. Hed be too damaged, he said. If he cant even win in Michigan, where his family is from, where he grew up. What about Rick Santorum? Hed lose 35 states, the senator said, predicting the same fate for Newt Gingrich. It would have to be somebody else, the senator said. Who? Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor.

It’s a threat.
“Vote for Romney, or you’ll end up with Jeb Bush.”
PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d like to know which Senator this was.
Well, the coward wouldn’t put his name on it! Could be one of about 35 RINO Senators.
Doncha just l.o.v.e. anonymous sources? Any guesses?
What you said. If Bush is the solution they offer, they need straitjackets.
How come every picture I see of Little Stevie Dunham - he’s got his legs crossed like my Aunt Trudi?
Mitt is the sole GOP candidate? Who knew?
Suck it, Senator Anonymous.
Jeb Bush?
I’ll stay home before I vote for another Bush. PERIOD!
mclame
Name names, Mr. Karl.
This Senator just made me give $25 to Santorum!
Also I’d like whomever it is to LOSE their next re-election!
Might as well say what your really thinking RINO. If our big government candidate can’t win we need to go out and get another big government candidate.
Typical establishment crap. Support us if we win the nomination, but if you win the nomination we can’t support you.
Good one.
wow.
We would already have a new candidate if Santorum wins Michigan.
RINO’s are so revolting
Nah, nah. We Westerners have our RINO's in the closet as well, witness the "honorable" Senator Juan "Lettuce" McBackStabbingAisleReachingRINO.
Jeb Bush. Hmmm. We’ve got two Catholics and one Baptist already running against a Mormon. I guess what we need is a Baptist-turned-Catholic to save us from Mormons and Obama. I don’t hate Jeb—he’s better than Christi—but he shares something with all of them—he’s not Palin.
I thought that too but he endorsed Romney and supposedly this fella hasn’t backed anyone. LG mebbe?
It is interesting how few have really backed anyone, would almost seem they were just waiting....
