Wouldn’t it be funny if everyone except Romney dropped out, and Romney still lost!
LOL
Newt
This is not what Romney said.
I SAW GINGRICH DOWNTOWN IN BUFFALO NY TODAY (I GOT HIS AUTOGRAPH ON A LAWN SIGN)
HE IS *NOT* FOLDING HIS TENT
HE WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE IS REDOUBLING HIS EFFORT SINCE NOW THERE IS ONLY ROMNEY AND A REAL CONSERVATIVE TO VOTE FOR, NOT DIVIDE UP THE CONSERVATIVE VOTES 5 WAYS
DON’T GIVE UP!
I get the sense that Romney doesn’t fully understand the primary process. Delegates are not like electors.
The reality is, Mitt is the only one who has a legit shot at winning the nomination with delegate count, even if Santorum keeps his current delegates. So, the others are playing for second at a brokered convention. And there is just no way a 2nd or 3rd place finisher in delegate totals will win a brokered convention. It’s either Mitt, or someone not running currently. And there is not a good chance that someone who hasnt been vetted yet will get nominated. It’s over. This isnt a sporting event where you can score 3 TDs in the 4Q and win despite the odds. This is about ground game, because at this point, over 90% of the people who could vote in the future have made up their mind. All that’s left to do is get people to the polls, and Romney and Santorum were the only two who could consistently do that this season. And for most people, Santorum has dropped out.
It could certainly be humiliating for him if they called the roll at the convention.
Posting the comments in caps all over the place doesn’t help get the word out, it only makes your posts annoying. You should really consider not doing that, it’s obnoxious.
It's the online equivalent of pounding your shoe on the podium.
“Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Live Free: GO NEWT!
MITT ROMNEY SHOULD PULL OUT.
ROMNEY THREW ELECTION 2008 TO OBAMA, AND
HAS AGREED TO DO IT AGAIN.
MITT ROMNEY [DEMOCRAT ETCH-A-SKETCH] SHOULD
PULL OUT FOR THE GOOD OF THE USA.
There is much wrong in your analysis, grasshopper. And I don’t think I’ll be taking any decisions based on the opinions of anybody who thinks Boehner has been mostly good.
It’s a good thing that you find so much wrong without naming anything, but feel free to live in your own delusions.
Almost certainly right as far as I quoted. That's the game plan I'm hoping to see play out.
And there is not a good chance that someone who hasnt been vetted yet will get nominated. It’s over.
I disagree. It hasn't happened recently because as terrible as some of the establishment nominees have been, even McCain and Dole could get a majority of delegates. The insiders haven't chosen anyone as weak as Romney - ever. We have potential candidates who have been vetted either in previous campaigns or through general public exposure but are not in the race: DeMint, McCain, Palin, Fred Thompson, and many others. It's not over (and, yes, I know that some of the names I mentioned are much less likely than others).
It's likely that the establishment will force Romney down our throats, but it's still far from certain, particularly as they look at how unpopular he is. The problem is that relatively few people even like Romney. His best slogan would be, "I'm not quite as bad as Obama", and that's not going to build much enthusiasm.
Mr. K, they’re right about the all caps, however, I cut you some slack because it’s apparent you were jazzed at shaking Newt’s hand and getting him to autograph your sign.
In the 1920 Republican nominating convention, Warren G. Harding became the Republican Party’s candidate after several rounds of votes. At the opening of the convention, he had only 39 delegates. “Still, at the opening, less than one-half of the delegates were committed...[and] No candidate was able to corral a majority after nine ballots...” (Quote from Wikipedia).
We have 4-months until the convention in Tampa. The day before Santorum suspended his campaign, I wrote on FR that anything can and will happen between now and the convention. I still stand by that statement.
Dear Raider Sam, it ain’t over until the balloon drop in Tampa this August. Until then, I predict a hot-hot-hot summer.
You are doing no harm, and very exciting to see others as enthused about Newt as I am. What they really want is to shut you up, as they are for Mitt.
NEWT IS STILL IN THIS RACE. NEVER GIVE UP AND NEVER FORGET, he is on his way to TAMPA with a plan.
You can go back to 1920 and hope for something, but its just not gonna happen. Its over.
