sam, the GOP-E absolutely in promoting Romney and “selecting” him, even when only half of the states have held their primaries.
They are DC Beltway crowd beating the drum for Romney as the inevitable nominee, therefore all resistance must cease.
The people have consistently voted against Romney, yet we are being told everyday that resisitance is futile—he is the one.
So the question remains: If Romney is not getting the majority of primary votes why is he being coronated, and what are we going to do about it?
Newt is the face of this rebellion.Before the afternoon of April 10th, maybe Santorum could have been that face, but for unknown reasons, he has negated all of his hard work and bowed out.
Newt is the last conservative standing, so I am rebelling with him.
I’m sorry he is not perfect, but he is a darn sight beeter than either Romney or Obama.
And he's going to win all the delegates in the upcoming states and Santorum's delegates are going to swing his way? Right? Because that's what it is going to take.
Yep. And if Santorum had thrown his support behind Gingrich from the beginning, then we wouldn't have a Romney problem to worry about. As it is, even if Santorum could commit his 280+ delegates to Gingrich, Romney's still ahead because Romney benefitted form Gingrich and Santorum splitting the vote in winner-take-all states.
So the reality is that the GOPe consolidated on their boy Romney, and we flitted away the conservative majority advantage in the primary by having a bunch of charlatans half-running.
