Suggestion to Gingrich, Santorum, Perry and respective supporters
RealClearPolitics Republican presidential primary polls | Jan 17, 2012 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 01/17/2012 3:32:52 PM PST by Jim Robinson

RealClear Republican Presidential Polls as of January 17:

South Carolina, Monmouth University: Romney 33, Gingrich 22, Paul 12, Santorum 14, Perry 6

South Carolina, Rasmussen Reports: Romney 35, Gingrich 21, Paul 16, Santorum 16, Perry 5

Florida, PPP (D): Romney 41, Gingrich 26, Santorum 11, Paul 10, Perry 4

Florida, Sunshine State News/VSS: Romney 46, Gingrich 20, Santorum 12, Paul 9, Perry 3

Nationwide ABC News/Wash Post Romney 36, Gingrich 16, Santorum 13, Paul 16, Perry 9

Nationwide Gallup Tracking: Romney 34, Gingrich 15, Santorum 15, Paul 12, Perry 6

Like it or not, the trend has been clear for weeks. If we wish a conservative to be our nominee, Perry should drop out of the race and we should coalesce around Gingrich or Santorum. As long as all three or even two of the three remain in the race the conservative vote will be split and RINO Romney will get the nomination.

Gingrich should challenge Santorum to a series of Lincoln-Douglas style one-on-one debates and if there is a clear winner, then the loser should drop out, or in the very least, we may be able to better decide which one is better suited to take on Romney and Obama.

May our very best conservative take on and defeat Romney/Paul and then wipe out Obama!!

AFIK, it is illegal to offer a position in return for an endorsement.

Sorry, I let wishful thinking get in the way of critical thinking...but coincidences do happen ;-)

Another problem is SC is an oPen primary state... So you know Dhimicrats will be out in force for Willard.

The conventional wisdom outside of FR, in "mainstream" media is that Romney is the strongest candidate vs. Obama. I don't necessarily agree with that, partly because my opinions are not those of elite liberal media.

But Democrats and many independents are the product of the left wing media. Your assumptions is that all these Democrats and independents all read FR, they found here that Romney is the weakest candidate, and therefore, in open primary are going to vote Romney, in order to weaken GOP, strnghten Dems..

That, to me, is just not intuitive. Open primary will result in more of the less conservative voters participating. But it is not a conspiracy to give GOP the weakest candidate. It is just that they (some Democrats - mostly "former" Democrats, and some independents) have found a candidate they liked.

"...not the style you were looking for."

Nope. It's the style Newt was pushing until he was challenged to one by Santorum.

how to get rid of Paul? Who considers him a Republican? Why is he there? It’s like those children’s puzzles - “which one does not belong?”.

The only impact Ron Paul will have is on the polls, and unfortunately the MSM will use that to help old Willard out.

Most of Paul's supporters are not Republicans, and they won't be voting for the GOP nominee if it's not Paul. Don't worry about them.

Right. As of now, the fate of our country hangs by a very thin thread. If we let the conservative vote be split, it will be a disaster.

I don’t think that the Paujl people would move to any other GOP candidate if he dropped out. Most will retreat to the bong and the rest will go to the Liberttarians.

Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner! I've been yelling this for weeks now!

Perry was close to dropping out after NH, and I am certain does not want to be VP....Santorum on the other hand would probably jump at the opportunity to be VEEP. Gingrich/Santorum would actually be a formidable ticket.

Funny, I have yet to meet one progressive who thinks Newt is anything close to a progressive.

Try asking Alvin Toffler. I love that Newt is so open minded and willing to experiment. I just think his lack of discipline makes him a loose cannon on deck. Winning debates is different than winning national elections. I remember the 1990s and Newt is extremely polarizing. People who are not interested in doing the research will be horrified by the things Newt has said and done, both professionally and personally. That said, I will gladly vote for anyone,including Newt, selected by the GOP to run against President Obama, who IMHO is on a mission to destroy America.

Well, I like the changes Newt’s suggesting like a 15% personal flat tax after deductions and a 12.5% corporate tax. Elimination of the capital gains tax. Privatize social security and medicare and eliminate the payroll tax. Neuter the Fed and the EPA. Eliminate 185 federal welfare programs and return them to the states and the people. Repeal ObamaCare, repeal Dodd-Frank, repeal Sarbanes-Oxley, fire the czars and dismantle the Marxist government. Cut government, cut spending, cut entitlements, cut taxes, cut regulations, cut borrowing, cut the deficit, reduce unemployment, balance the budget and create an environment for the free market to flourish. Set our people free to produce and prosper AND enjoy the fruits of their labor. What’s not to like? And he has a history of conservative accomplishments just like these with the Reagan Revolution of the 80’s and the Republican Revolution of the 90’s. And I believe he has the fire in the belly to do it again.

” What’s really scary is that Newt said he’s decided to stay in after SC even if he loses. So what the hell was he going to do? “ <<<<

I believe that remark was code for two things; 1.) for us to do the damn math; 2.) clear the brush out of my path and I can take this guy out in South Carolina, and still have some money to at least cross the border into Florida, and try to retake my lead there. Otherwise, “congratulations folks, meet your nominee, Romney.”

“And then Rubio for VP”

This is a merry-go-round. Is Rubio a natural born citizen?
