You don’t think Palin/Gingrich or Gingrich/Palin could make it into nomination? If Romney can be denied enough delegates, I think anything can happen. I don’t think this intense focus on Obamneycare is doing Romney any favors now. Santorum’s profane outburst pretty much disqualifies him as presidential material. For all the people who claimed Newt “whined” or was “angry,” I’m still waiting to see those clips, but I now have at least one of Santorum out-whining and out-angering any presidential candidate I can remember in my lifetime.
We’ve got a couple of terrible frontrunners. They can win ONLY by virtue of Obama being so terrible that people just want to get rid of him. Sort of the same way Obama himself got elected. So I’m not going to put it past the delegates to recognize the deep flaws in the frontrunners and turn to Newt if they get the chance.
The super-delegates are controlled by the party poobahs. They will NEVER turn to Gingrich and Gingrich himself knows it. He is unelectable. Period. Scoring 6%, 5% of own’s own primary votes is not re-assuring. Besides as everyone knows he has baggage that will sink a fleet of cruise ships. Primary contests do matter. There will not be a brokered convention. It’s gonna be Santorum or Romney, and unless Santorum can pull of a WI win, his momentum is sapped and Romney it will be.
