“...If a person cannot convince conservatives to choose him over Mitt Romney in the primary, how can a person convince the rest of idiot filled America to choose him over Obama?”
I think that is too simplistic because people have personality preferences and their are certain as pects of each of the conservative candidates that appeal more to individual voters.
Notice how a few freepers here replied that I am right that one must go. One freeper wrote that Santorum must go and another that Gingrich must go....
I think often it’s just personal preference having to do with minor perceptions. With 3-4 consevatives diluting the vote - the one lefty “Republican” (Romney) is going to win. It’s Déjà vu. Bush, Dole, McCain...
I definitely agree that one must go, and one will go at some point.
I don’t have a horse in this race at this point, although I will say I prefer Santorum over Gingrich, but I think both of them are weak candidates. Santorum strikes me as a bit to dry to be able to rally voters behind him, but perhaps I’m wrong on that.
Gingrich comes across as a lecturer and appears arrogant, but he could certainly smoke Obama in debates.
Both candidates are much, much more desirable than four more years of Obama.
I am having a hard time figuring out just exactly how Mitt Romney seems to be galvanizing support as he appears to be doing. The best theory I can figure is that people have bought his argument that he is the most electable.
I do not think there is anyway Romney can defeat Obama in a national election, but of course I cannot predict the future.
My fear at this time is that we are close to being snookered into a candidate that cannot win.
