I’m voting for Santorum.
I won’t vote for Romney even against Obama, I’ll go third party.
If Newt wins, I’ll support him.
The main thrust of Newt’s campaign is not to defeat Romney but to eliminate Santorum. I haven’t heard him tell Romney he should quit.
Newt’s main campaign skill is acting as if he’s already won something. I await the flaming.
After she taped a climate change ad with Newt.
“I think the Romney camp prays that Newt hangs on because they currently attract a number of votes under the theory that “Romney is the most electable”. If Santorum ever got enough momentum to challenge Romney again with a comparable “most electable” claim, it might dawn on a significant number of voters that they can get a fairly strong conservative that has a good a shot as anyone in the general too. Dangerous idea for Romney, that must not catch on.”
If that is true, why is a Romney shill like Jen Rubin also pushing Santorum? I think they are using Santorum to eat into Newt right now, knowing Santorum is not much of a threat.
And yes Santorum is performing well in “vs. Obama” polls but that is before any negative stories get into the press. But wait until his very strong social conservative views chase away libertarians, women and centrists. Remember everybody already knows Newt’s negatives, do they know Santorum’s?
Show me in the debate transcrpts the point at which Santorum “sneers”. Also, the amount spent by Santorum on everything is less than Newt’s Tiffany bill. Rick is running an extremely lean campaign, absent a sugar daddy like Newt has. And yet, he has won as many states as Gingrich.
Note to all; if you don’t support Newt, you are “pathetic”, “ out of touch” “stupid” (from last week) or a troll. How does this turn Santorum supporters into Newties? I don’t think we’ll be bullied, not by you or by Romneybots. I’m ready for flame.
I’m from Missouri and I will be voting for Rick Santorum next Tuesday, as will most of my friends. I know a couple people that will be voting for Ron Paul but the overwhelming majority will be pulling the lever for Rick.
I know of almost no one that will be voting for Romney and zero that are pro-Newt.
I guess you haven't heard. Whiny Ricky boy has his own billionaire backing him. I think he reside up in Wyoming (or around there).
Santorum has a personality that comes across as swarmy arrogance. The guy was just a senator. He has an incredibly overinflated opinion of himself.
Rick will NEVER win the GOP nomination, much less the Presidency. Seeing that twerp with his sweater vest makes me feel sorry for him. He looks like a pathetic dweeb.
This is all nonsense. Rick has no chance and he knows it. You might ask youself whay someone with on change keeps going. It means there is something in it for him. I will let you figure it out. Hint: it is as plain as the nose on your face.
“Gingrich will never be president. Even in the highly unlikely event Gingrich beats Romney, He will still never be president as the swing voters desert him and even a lot of republicans sit on their hands.”
Romney will never be president. Even in the highly likely event Romney beats Gingrich, He will still never be president as the base deserts him.
First, Santorum does have a sugar daddy, a billionaire cowboy from Wyoming who is financing his PAC and almost all of that advertising has been anti Newt advertising.
Ditto’s the Santorum campaign, which isn’t very big, but what there is of it is almost all anti Newt. Again, know a little something before you show your ignorance here.
Newt was the last, yes LAST Republican to run negative ads against other Republicans.
And finally, I would agree that Newt’s campaign is too obsessed with Romney and that it was not smart to publicly ask Santorum to drop out.
Allow me to translate that into the plain English we used to use before political correctness infected our discourse:
"But wait until his firm moral conviction to stand for what is right chases away anarchists, feminists, and the perpetually confused."
Much clearer now. No charge for the editing.
What billionaire?
To me, that would be awesome news. GO RICK!!
santorum has no money.
santorum has no patrons.
santorum has no ground game.
it is now all a matter of keeping romney from having a majority.
Santorum is no longer as substantive player.
Friess seems like a good guy.
“But wait until his firm moral conviction to stand for what is right chases away anarchists, feminists, and the perpetually confused.”
It is one thing to “stand for what is right” and to legislate against what you consider wrong. Killing yourself is wrong but does that mean you should have laws against smoking?
