Listen, while I feel your pain, I don’t see how it is possible to stop Romney.
Newt is an unpredictable loose cannon who appears to be in the process of firing on himself...again. Santorum, though he is a good guy, does not seem to be able to convince conservatives to support him in any great numbers, which is absolutely necessary, and Ron Paul is rising, which is both insane and frightening.
We are about out of time in trying to find an anti-romney. perhaps there isn’t one at this time. Dunno what more to say on this.
1 state where the votes count has voted. Wonder what kind of percentage that is?
I don't think that is going to happen. We say we need to stop him but a lot of folks keep voting for him. His opponents weren't ready for this. They are weak when it comes to organization, money and planning. I don't think we can do anything about it.
“Listen, while I feel your pain, I don’t see how it is possible to stop Romney.”
Here’s how.
1. Call your precinct chairman and ask.
2. If there isn’t one, call your county chairman and ask.
We can still stop Romney. It may require that we have a brokered convention, though.
Has any candidate ever won NH but not gotten the nomination?
“I don’t think that is going to happen. We say we need to stop him but a lot of folks keep voting for him. His opponents weren’t ready for this. They are weak when it comes to organization, money and planning. I don’t think we can do anything about it.”
He definitely has the advantage in terms of money and organization but I still think he would lose in a head to head matchup against any of the others (other than Ron Paul). Our one chance is probably to get all the conservatives but one to drop out and endorse the remaining conservative
Has any candidate ever won NH but not gotten the nomination?
The state of NH is small. Carries only 4 electoral votes.
It will be a long time before TX has a say, due to the (IN)Justice Departments lawsuit over the redistricting, being tied up in the court system. But is will have 38 electoral votes. (more than 9 times as many as NH)
Romney will NOT carry TX.....
The parties should have members sign on for a 5 or six year term before switching affiliations so troublemakers cannot cross lines for at least one presidential primary cycle. Since they don’t know how they would be needed 6 years down the line, they may decide to go honest. Independents should be just that - non participants - and wait until the general election.
Having people like Paul involved is nefarious undermining of the political consensus when all the conservatives split the vote.
This is getting to be a ‘bag job’, which is a term I have not heard in many years.
Since this is an in-house contest, stronger controls must be enforced to stop this sort of fraudulent political hijacking.
I agree. If it is going to be Mitt, at least we can look forward to ousting Obama. Lots of Dems who voted for Obama will be voting for Mitt.
We just need to keep our eyes on the prize: getting rid of Obama. We can deal with Mitt later.
Let’s wait and see what happens in South Carolina before predicting Gingrich can’t beat Romney. Things change SO Fast! This Bain thing could really bring Romney down.
Lots of them. Hillary Clinton comes to mind.
I think we should have 5 ten state primary dates with ten regionally diverse states taking place in each one.
Whoever is the GOP nominee it’s better than Obama.
Its too late—Mittens has won. Now we have only to step into place—and start marching while chanting “Mitt Is the One.”
The Tea Party is done—ask Fox News, ask Glen Beck, ask Sarah Palin. Step in line, Comrade, your arm band is in the mail.
The focus on Romney and Bain capital is important because it is the same focus that the left is preparing.
The left has started what they call, Democracy Schools, aimed at anti-corportists. They are tying the Democracy schools with the OWS movement and presenting them as focusing on individual rights and freedom, even property rights. What they are not telling the foolish students at their Democracy schools is that these schools are being run by the same NGOs who are hell bent in limiting their individual rights and regulating their lives into an unrecognizable third world condition.
The biggest focus of the anti-corporatist will be Mitt Romney. These Democracy Schools in Northwest WA were sponsored by the Democrat Congressman, Rick Larsen and are run by people from NGOs, like Sustainable Connections (Agenda 21 people).
Have you been listening to Rush??? Mitt is already shooting himself in the foot by making the comparison between Bain Capital and what Obama did in the auto industry. By the time that November rolls around, Mitt will be as low in the polls as McCain was and Sarah Palin won’t be of any help this time, either. I’ve lost faith in her, completely.
Mitt better than Obama—keep saying it—keep believing it—Mitt is the winner—Why even have any more Primaries? Mitt has bought them all—I betcha he’s going to win North Carolina and Florida too— By February its all over—Your primary is a waste of time—none of them will count as the election is fixed. Now we must all get together to support President Mittens in his Don Quixote charge on Obama—a charge he is slated to lose. thats the plan—lets make sure Mittens wins!!!
