Would love to hear what Gov Perry has to say about that...and of course the Bush family. Santorum will never take Texas
Changing rules in a snit over Romney dissing the Texas debate, or because some candidate is desperate to advantage himself is a bridge that first needs some recon before cliff jumping.
What works for making one (SREC) feel better during one single election, or assuages the desperation of a single candidate (Santorum) during one single election, doesn’t seem like the best of grounds for going to winner-take-all.
If every state were a winner-take-all, this would be over already and RINOS who come in to the races with all the money and all the backing could crush all conservatives early who never have it. The proportional arrangement is certainly fair to all candidates and allows for a protest block of delegates to go all the way to convention.
I was against this on an earlier thread when the “emergency meeting” was not even linked to Santorum, so it’s not my bias for Newt and not Rick.
I can be persuaded, but in a chaotic atmosphere I am not sold by a long shot. Proportional is the only arrangement that keeps conservative candidates alive until they can grow some legs against the Establishment candidates they keep sending us.
Gloomy Gus, you are probably right, ROmney will win it; but at the moment, Santorum is a little bit ahead of Romney in the polls. And if Gingrich continues to fade, Santorum’s lead should grow.
