This is far from over.
Our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor.
Re-Elect The Messiah by promoting a weak, Liberal (R) Opponent
OR:
Get a weak, Liberal, like-minded Opponent (aka: Romney-the-RINO) and lose nothing in pursuit of Utopian Socialism.
Congrats idiot Romney voters. John Kerry II is pro-choice, pro-govt run healthcare, pro gay marriage, anti-gun, etc... Fools.
SC vs FL Victory Margin Same
however, delegate count is not the same.
The media, including Faux News, wants Gingrich to withdraw before the numbers happen and Romney is shown to be Obama-lite.
In 2008 there were 8 million votes cast during the general. 4 million for McCain and 4.2 million for Romney. The votes cast last night were just under 2 million. Where are the other 2 million Republican votes? My view is many if the independEnt tea party votes were locked out. Romney eeked out a win this time but his days are numbered!
One of the things I see here that is funny is that Romney bought the Florida vote by spending tons of money. Money that Newt did not have to spend.
Now we know that Romney has money, but when and if he comes out against Obama he is looking at a clown who has a billion dollar campaign fund. What will happen to Romney when he comes face to face with a guy who can outspend him, has the media behind him, and has free unlimited travel in Air Force One and can take as many reporters with him as he likes.
Romney is about to find out that without the support of the whole party his money cannot buy him the Presidency, and he cannot win the support of the whole party by a scorched earth policy against another Republican.
Obama and his money will eat Romney and his money alive.

It's pretty straight forward based on the cumulative totals thus far.
Rick needs to bow out and throw in behind Newt. If he does, the conservative base will win. If he does not he will continue to split the vote and hand it to Romney.
I believe Santorum is actually the more conservative of the two...but he is not garnering support and does not have that spark that inspires people to get onboard and fight with all they have. Newt does. Newt simply needs to control his emotions and stay on topic and target.
If he does...and if Rick does this, Newt wins.
BTW, Newt won SC by 12.59% on a total vote of around 600,000. Mitt beat newt by 14.43% on a total vote of 1.66 million. We cannot underestimate Mitt and think he cannot get a large percentage of the vote in large states. He proved yesterday that he can so this ceiling we had hoped he was not going to crack is now a myth and we need to get Newt and Rick together so they can beat those numbers.
GO TEA PARTY!
GO NEWT!
