I'm OK with that. It would be our best chance to start a 3rd party around Newt and Sarah Palin. Call it the Tea Party........
Drudge really spelled "poll" wrong?
Ohio is not a winner-take-all state. If it’s a near tie and the delegates to be divided evenly, will the Ohio GOP step in and break the rules to give Mitt the advantage?
Again, as I said before:
Down to the wire, Santorum will get 35% from conservative-leaning branch of Republican party; Romney 35% from liberal-leaning branch; Newt 20% from pragmatic-branch ( less idealist or more forgiving); 10% for Ron Paul from free-spirited young or distrusting-government-no-matter-what).
At brokered convention, two front runners will be tossed out, and the nominee will be everyone’s guess. My guess is the formidable, most fearsome, most eloquent, most intelligent, most Constitutional, and for cheap-gas, NEWT!
Santorum got too far ahead of himself, stumbled, and let his mouth do him in.
Gingrich has settled back to the mid-teens — about where he was for the months before Cain’s demise.
It seems more and more inevitable that Romney is going to pull this one out, unless Santorum can come up with a few surprises in the fly-over states in the coming weeks.
Maybe the combo of Santorum and Gingrich can garner enough delegate votes to stop Romney. However, the division of delegates will soon end, as more states will be winner-take-all. [I am not exactly sure of who the GOP has those divided up.]
The use of the verb ‘SURGE’ should be confined to the voters - not the polls or the candidates.
On the Third Party idea. Newt needs to head up a movement of bright young candidates for State and National elections. He should not use TEA Party because he would be accused of usurping the name and opportunism - Constitutional or Conservative Party perhaps. It would take money and organization of enormous effort at the grass roots, but Newt is such a leader to motivate and inspire true conservatives. Even to the point where Newt does not run for POTUS again, but as Party Chair develops candidates with excellent qualifications and four years of national exposure, speeches etc., State Governors would be a good pool of prospects.
I thought drudge was banned along with humblegunner? What happened? They are both on 1 thread! lol
So, Mitt pole-vaulted into the lead?.........
)* Romney can't outright win it, no enthusiam and does he do worse in OH than he did on 08' just like MI?
* Ricky's blue collar cred is wearing thin.
* Ricky is choking on the big ones, if he can't do it, how is going to do against Obama?
At somepoint panic insues and enter Newt Stage Right..
WTH??? Why can’t Santorum hold a lead? He gets a double digit lead against Romney in state after state, and next thing you know, RINO-Rom has caught up with him. Whassup with that?
If Santorum doesn’t win Ohio, it is highly unlikely there will be a brokered or a contested convention.
Even if Santorum does manage a narrow victory, the chances of any real convention drama are still rather slim.
I only get concerned for my and my kids future, if he is surging on a Poll.
Mitt will pick Rubio or Rand Paul for his VP. And you all will line up behind as you should.
