Newt: I won’t exit the race until Mitt Romney hits 1,144

Please God keep this man going.

Keep them both going.

Gingrich can't capture enough delegates on his own to stop Romney and neither can Santorum.

I didn't believe it a couple of weeks ago, but I'm really believing now that the only shot for conservatives is a brokered convention.

And, it SURE doesn't help the anti-Romney cause for Gingrich supporters and Santorum supporters to attack each others' candidates any longer. They both need to do well enough to pull delegates from the RINO.

I’m sure you are for Rick, can’t be Mitt. But, I want this to go to the floor.

Then Rick can accept his VP slot and line up against whoever else comes out of this.

I think we need to get ready for a brokered convention and pick a candidate we can all get behind. One candidate, not Sarah or Paul Ryan or whatever, a single candidate that WE want to draft. Multiple loyalties was our first mistake, don’t need to repeat it.

That'd be great, wouldn't it?

I don't know how that would happen, though. Conservatives are very independently minded by nature. I'd be extremely happy to see Sarah as the candidate, but I know others can't stand her.

Recent polls say she's more popular than any of the candidates. I think if it looked like she was going to be the nominee, people could unite behind her a lot faster than others.

But you're right, therein lies the problem. Conservatives don't march lock-step so they might never agree on one person. Anyway I just wanted to put it out there because I'm sick of sitting around waiting for the other shoe to drop. Would like to be proactive in some sense.

I guess that will be about the beginning of June.

Oh definitely NOT Romney that is for sure. Hate him even more than when this primary started. Newt is great but can't get people to vote for him...that is not good. Sanatorium is good but can't get enough votes. It is just a disasterous primary as they all seem to be for us.

[Vendome]

yep

[YouGoTexasGirl]

Well said. Newt is the only candidate that is clear on his goals and as you said, Obama is scared of him as he is a very skilled debater who does not need a teleprompter to give a speech.

I have strong hopes he is our nominee at the convention!!

The uncommitted delegates are abundantly sprinkled through out all these campaigns as well as the designated delegates who remain committed.

When do the uncomitted delegates become committed? At convention.

I trust that we all are trying to BE elected delegates on the night of our state’s primary at our precinct meetings which commence at the close of the ballot.

We will have crossovers galore. But some will actually be legitimate, astounded by Obama’s Marxism.

Saw Santorum yesterday as he yelled expletives at a liberal reporter.

Yes, the libs deserve it, but it was highly unpresidential-like behavior ... and what about all this sanctimonious crap? His language was terrible ...
