That being said, he would be a GHWB-type of “Republican” president and do little to remove the damage Soetoro was unleashed.
Disclosure: I'm a Newt backer, and a Perry backer before him.
“was” should be “has”
Same here. I'm in Virginia; my husband called a moment ago and said he just cast his primary vote for Ron Paul. I'll be doing the same thing a little later.
This is what gave us Rick Santorum. People fooled into thinking he was actually winning meaningful contests, and was a viable candidate. They are in for a rude awakening.
Newt rising in Ohio, 24% in the poll with largest sampling of Likely Voters.
Newt could be a winner-take-all in Georgia. 50% is easily within his reach.
Also, he’s rising in Tennessee and putting serious effort in Oklahoma.
Any thoughts on Alaska, anyone? I’m predicting that as a roughly 4-way tie, 25-25-25-25%, which would be quite weird. They actually do have a fair amount of delegates (27).
Romney: 139. Virginia (49), Massachusetts (41), Vermont (17), Idaho (32) = 139
Newt: 232. Georgia (76), North Dakota (28), Tennessee (58), Oklahoma (43), Alaska (27) = 232
Rick: 66. Ohio (66), maybe.
There will be stragglers here and there, which will pretty much cancel each other out, though Mitt is guaranteed all of Virginia's 49. Newt will lose more at the margins than Romney, so after final adjustment:
Newt 206, Romney 168, Santorum 67, Paul 13
Ron Paul is weak in the south and will get nothing out of VA, GA, OK or TN. His only hope is ID, ND, VT and especially, AK.
Newt is my guy too! In a perfect word, I would need to be considering Newt, but Romney isn’t even a starter for me. Santorum is ok, but would get his head handed to him in a debate with Bamby. Newt would play with Bamby like a mouse plays with a catnip-filled toy!
