It is a stupid plan. Santorum should have already dropped out. Santorum basically gave Florida to Romney. There is no rationale for him to stay in except pride. Conservatives have not conslidated and thus they are facilitating Romney. No need to blame Rove, Rush or Fox News. It is a circular firing squad.
I will support Gingrich or Santorum, however neither should pick the other for VP.
How “Official” is this?
Uhmmm...can we see your badge?
Placemark
Missouri - Newt not on the ballot, Mitt wins easily
Colorado - Mitt leading comfortably
Minnesota - Toss-up, Santorum leading
Arizona - Mitt leading comfortably
After these 4 states, Newt is close to finished, with no more debates. After that is Michigan, with Mitt poised to run the table again.
Where does Newt go from here? His funding will dry up after this string of losses (FL, NV, MO, AZ, CO...)
That’s what I’m thinking. All the numbers say that Rick dropping out won’t give it Newt, that his supports would spread out. So if both of them hammer Romney, it could have double benefits, delegates and bringing Romney’s numbers down.
And don’t forget my campaign to vote for Paul in VA, deny Romney those delegates.
The process as it currently exists guarantees nominating a loser.
HOW CAN YOU ALLOW A “WINNER TAKES ALL” RULE IF THE WINNER GETS LESS THAN 50%?
For a nomination which must UNITE the party for a fall campaign, it should be IMPOSSIBLE to win early (before August) unless you get >67-75% of the votes, thus affirming a consensus.
These “huge wins” for Romney are making defeat certain. The only conclusion that can be drawn from the data so far is that here is NO AGREEMENT ON A NOMINEE.
Romney winning may simply be a blessing in disguise. We know he can’t beat Obama. Simply impossible. But truthfully, I’m not sure any Republican can beat Obama, even Newt. I’m the biggest Newt supporter out there, but let’s face it, if Newt can’t overcome Romney, how in the world can he defeat Obama, simply because Obama won’t debate Newt and O’s machine is too powerful. Money, msm, corruption, etc., etc. Once Romney gets trounced by Obama, he’s finished for good. We know Romney = Obama. Why not just get through 4 more years of Obama than risk 8 years of Romney. We should focus on getting conservatives elected to Congress, then in 4 years Newt or some other conservative will be poised and ready to be the republican nominee.
