If Mitt is nominated, I’ll vote for Obama. I think the best solution now and future for the USA is for everything to IMPLODE upon itself, and the hard, cold harsh facts of REALITY need to hit the folks that live in the beltway right smack between their eyes, and then we can all start over again. Maybe in 4 geographical areas...let the New York lead the NE...and Texas lead in the South...and California and Seattle start their nation...
I think Obama can destroy effectively everything so we can start all over again. Obama, gets my vote
Yeah, a scorched-earth policy always works.
Please explain how this evil plan promotes conservative values.
I could never vote for Obama..but won’t vote for Romney either.
I’m so sick of hearing pundits on Faux News talk about how we Conservatives will “come around” when the GOP nominee is chosen.
I can agree with you in principle about the implosion theory..except for the fact that some Supremes will be retiring in the next election cycle and would be replaced with more Sonya’s or Elena’s. Now that’s some permanent damage.
Well, I simply would NOT vote for Mitt, and vote for one of the fringe candidates.
Personally, with over 400 delegates the race is over, sadly.
When we implode, we’ll have our money wiped out, our businesses go out of business, rampant crime, possibly a foreign invasion. Not exactly a good scenario for restoring the country to its better days.
I also think a long primary helps. It’s also the media attention the candidates get. Any publicity is good publicity, it helps establish their brand name and the more well known they are, the more it makes people less likely to have their opinion changed by negative attacks.
Below shows how the rest of the states give Romney a much less favorable map than he’s had so far. The states are ranked according to Gallup polling from most conservative to least. Almost half the remaining delegates come from the conservative states. Romney only won two of those so far, both caucuses, but only Missouri and Kansas remain of those that are caucuses. He will win Utah, but I don’t know about any others. North Carolina and Pennsylvania from the moderate states should be competitive for Santorum/Gingrich. So there are about 797 delegates to go from states that I think should favor them (although I’m not clear which of the conservative states are Romney-favorable Mormonland).
Romney’s got a good shot at the remaining 619 delegates from other moderate and liberal states, but even if he got all of them, those alone wouldn’t get him a majority of delegates. So it all comes down to the margin of victory and delegate allocation. It doesn’t look like Romney has an easy path to getting a majority of delegates. And there only 3 or 4 caucus states left, which hurts Ron Paul’s ability to get more delegates.
