At this time, Rick is the only conservative who can beat Willard the Lib.

So Earth to Newt: What are you doing besides handing the nomination to Willard on a silver platter, my friend??

A brokered convention will allow the GOP to install a candidate of their choosing.

We’re not going to have a brokered convention. That’s just the msm’s wet dream. We’re going to have mitt romney as the gop nominee unless newt drops out before super tuesday. Plain and simple.

Gingrich for months has said, “Just wait until Super Tuesday” that will kick start my campaign. Now he has said, “Well I am going to win Georgia”. Big deal. There are 10 states in play and he is going to win ONE state and that is what all the bragging he was talking about. Seriously, the way he was bragging on himself and how Super Tuesday was going to be all about him then why is he only going to win ONE STATE. I know he loves to brag about himself, but he has absolutely ZERO to brag with. South Carolina and Georgia does not win a general election.

And you can bet your bottom dollar it WON'T be a conservative! We'll have mitt, jeb or christie foisted upon us and we'll be told to like it or lump it.

But, but Newt is going to win the state that he lived in and represented a small district for 20 years. This after saying Super Tuesday was going to jump start his campaign. I guess he thought he was going to win all ten or something. I predict he will drop out on Wednesday.

There is not going to be a brokered convention. And even if there was, it would likely just result in the selection of an establishment candidate (Jeb, Christie, etc).

“I predict he will drop out on Wednesday.”

As usual, you’re wrong.

I know. God forbid Newt have any principles. I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Again he is in it for himself. He is bashing rich people again with his “rich people don't care about gas prices”. He is a disaster. I suppose you really want Newt for the nominee. A vote for Newt is a vote for Romney (except in Gingrich's hometown of Georgia).

If we play for the tie, we deserve to lose!

Play for the win.

Playing for the tie and watching Mitt take the nomination would be a disaster.

Which would throw the nomination to Romney again.

Geez, what is this, night of the loser strategies.

Here’s a simple table.

Romney vs Paul -> Romneyslide, every state
Romney vs Gingrich -> Romneyslide, everything outside the south.
Romney vs Santorum -> Santorum wins.

This is not hard people.

Romney versus Santorum equals huge landslide for Romney.

That may be too late. This primary season is making me physically ill. I saw ron paul on some candidate forum that cnn held this weekened and felt like shooting the tv. It's a disgrace that that blabbering, incompetent, blind, anti-conservative fool is running in our primary! Then there's the smarmy mitt! We got a 30% candidate in 2008 and unless newt drops out fast we'll get a 25% candidate this time around. Pisses me off to no end!

Look at Missouri - Santorum dominated Romney in the head to head.

Sorry but numerous published polls prove you wrong. There not one poll that shows Romney beating Rick head to head. None.
