You think that's shocking? You outta see the number of Republicans who fawned over ME last year when I told 'em I had become a tea party guy overnite and started waivin' the birther flag. Gullible GOP voters, you're fired!

This number is surprising as when Rasmussen was introduced earlier today on foxnews they said Romney finally hit the 50% threshold and he never corrected their announcement. He did say he couldn't explain the 16% jump but that he is indeed the frontrunner once again and will probably be our nominee with his positives across the board.
Nothing is wrong with these people. We want Obama OUT. Santorum can’t win the general and most people know this. Romney is better than Obama and that’s what it has come down to.
It’s not that hard to figure out. These people that say Romney is the same as Obama are delusional. Sure, on some issues they are. On many issues they are not.
I’d love a more conservative candidate, but MOST OF ALL I WANT OBAMA DEFEATED IN NOVEMBER. That’s what this is about.
Exactly. He would get annihilated
Push Polls last ditch effort to save the flailing Romney. Nobody believes in polls and with good reason, especially ones run by democrats.
But for that, he needs our full support and effort. If we fail to do that, then we can't complain.
There’s a word for Republicans who either ignore, or timidly stay away from social issues: RINOs.
Quit your incessant whining and excuses.
Man up.
RICK SANTORUM 2012 or Willard the Lib? Choose one.
Another childish personal attack like that, and you deserve a trip to the woodshed. Hotshot.
Ohio will be a real critical state.
If Santrorum can take Ohio (66), Tennessee (58), Oklahoma (43), North Dakota (28), and Alaska (27). He will have the momentum. He would have won in states totaling 212 delegates.
If Gingrich only wins in Georgia (76), he needs to get out and get behind Santorum. Gingrich would have to win Georgia, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and one other, IMHO, for him to make a big statement. I do not see it at this point.
If Romney wins those races mentioned above and somehow pulls out Ohio, then the momentum will be his coming out of Super Tuesday having won in states totaling right at 200 delegates, and leaving Santorum winning in states totaling less than 150 if he takes all of those others and Gingrich only wins Georgia.
I believe Santorum's prospects are good. And if he somehow won in Georgia too...it would be huge.
Tuesday will tell.
Romney: “Mr. Obama, your healthcare plan is trash.”
A grinning Obama: “Oh Mitt, I based my healthcare plan on yours. I just took RomneyCare and multiplied it by 50.”
The issue of ObamaCare is off the table if Romney is the nominee.
Any sane person wants Obama gone, but nominating the one candidate that essentially neutralizes the biggest charge against him doesn't seem to be a great strategy, does it?
The funny thing about watching the polls is that there is this group of voters that switch to the current “most electable” candidate. Gingrich wins SC, they go to him. Romney wins Florida, they go to him. Santorum wins three states, they jump to him. Romney wins Arizona and is perceived to win Michigan, he gets them. Go to RCP and look at the graph. So far, the lost Santorum support has gone to Romney. I think that the group that would take the Devil over Obama has given up on Newt. I don’t see him winning them back, but I am not dismissing it completely.
As you seemed to agree in my earlier post, at this point it might be too late for a momentum shift to help anyone but Romney. There are a lot of conservative states remaining, but California and New York are out there too. If nothing changes, Super Tuesday is most likely to annoint Romney or Santorum. Newt would have to pull an unbelievable miracle in about five days to change anything.

Santorum supporters went to Romney, think about that.
I have a sick feeling that Mittens will get the nomination, and we’ll get stuck with 4 more years of the obamas and their crushing this country. I can’t get that excited about Santorum, so, I guess by process of elimination, I must be a Newt supporter. I love to hear him talk - and hate what Romney did to him. However, I will vote for anyone who isn’t Mitt or Paul. I might change my mind come November if mittens gets the nod, because I want the squatters out of our WH.
“The media has done a job on Newt first and now Santorum.”
I don’t think it was the media as much as Romney’s PAC attacks. They’ve destroyed everyone he’s trained them on.
They are all flawed candidates. Romney is a liberal, Santorum has the personality of a bowl of dishwater and Newt has a Pullman full of baggage. It is quite damning of the GOP that all of the up and coming conservatives are sitting out this election. Every single one.
Santorum will be a perfectly fine President, especially when it comes to shaping the course of the judiciary.
Lumping him in Romney is absurd.

The economy, unemployment, loans to green companies that are filled with kickbacks for donors, gays in the military, refusing to defense the Marriage Act, running guns with Eric Holder, etc, etc, etc.
Plenty of ways to get Obama on the ropes.
Andrew Breitbart: "You want a unity speech? I'll give you a unity speech. I don't care who our candidate is. I haven't since the beginning of this... ask not what the candidate can do for you, ask what you can do for the candidate! And that's what the Tea Party is. We are there to confront [the radical left] on behalf of our candidate! I will march behind who ever our candidate is. Because if we don't, we lose."
