I sometimes wonder if Sarah Palin has anticipated a brokered convention, and if so, is she lying in wait.

Make that “bonfire of the vanity.”

The authors bias is so readily apparent that one can hardly take him/her not one bit seriously. Santorum could have shined like a diamond and this writer would have only seen a chunk of coal.

She always does thing to be thinking two steps ahead somehow... I would welcome a Palin entry at that point.

I have never found him charismatic, clever, or skilled enough to be nominee... why do I need to give him any chance after that when I feel Gingrich is ten times the man, makes Santorum look like a child, actually.

Ricky acting like one last night didn’t help his case one bit, did it.

It’s only a Newtbot blog. Consider the source.

Did we watch the same debate ?
I admit Rick stumbled a bit on procedure,
but It was ROMNEY who had an epic fail!
Romney kept trying to steer every question into an MSM enabed food fight, often (and transparently) going way off topic to do so.

Mitt needs to drop out now.

How many times can we be asked to take a bite of the Newt apple and keeping coming back for more? Just because the name of State changes does not mean his flavor has changed. One day it taste like it is caramel apple. The next day it is just an old sour apple. You never know which apple you are biting into. I am at the point that I just don't want to take a bite of that apple again no matter the flavor.

That mean, based upon this process of elimination, we are left with Romney. Plane and simple! And, that does not excite me. Why? How excited will voters be to support the guy with has a great “Oppo Man” but has the same governing background as the One? Not very.

Unlike Mclame, Romney may fight the One, but the voters will stay with the devil they know instead of the one they don't.

That means we will get a liberal SCOTUS. That means more regulations. That means we will get even more crony capitalism. That means in 4 years we will become Greece, because this government can not help itself when it comes to mature governance. We will be in so much debt we will die just as other republics have in the past.

So enjoy the horse race we all call a campaign because the finish line will suck for everyone with Romney in the saddle.

Last night Newt did a good job. Much better than in the last two debates when he was the guy being ferociously attacked. It kind of works like that.

Santorum had a bad night. It is always harder when you have to spend the whole debate on defense rather than making good points. But..I am sure Santorum knew it was coming. It is hard to fight when the moderator and two of the debaters are pummeling you from every direction. That said, Newt was not the one doing the attacking.

All in all, Romney held his own and the outcome will help the Myth more than anyone else.

Santorum will drop some, Newt will rise some, but will either now be able to top Romney and his horse boy Ron Paul?

Me? I am not going to participate in insulting Newt or Santorum at this time. It is pointless.

Wow, this writer is definately hijacking a name, huh!

Reagan was ProLife...seems this writer could not care any less about being ProLife. How can he call himself a “reaganite” and be so ProRomney who supports abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, eugenics, genocide and assisted-suicide, healthcare rationing, etc? And then be so anti-Santorum, who is the only candidate who is 100% ProLife and during a campaign where the ONLY thing that will save this nation is full respect for the dignity of the human person and Judeo-Christian principles and constitutional protection of religious liberty? Oh, I get it...he/she's a “Nancy Reaganite.”

Go figure...

It’s no shock to those of us that didnt buy into the “anointed candidate from Jesus” bandwagon attitude Ricks people have been putting out.

They spent so much time projecting greatness on this guy that they failed to remember that all projections need a big blank sheet to go on.

And boy Rick is one of the biggest blank sheets out there.

My guess he kicks Romney's sorry butt to the curb in the South and Santorum looses his Big-Mo their as last night showed he ain't got the Chops for it.

IMHO Rush maybe right, we maybe looking in a couple weeks of the massive rebound of the Newtster.

There won’t be a late entry. In a brokered convention, the big GOP cheeses will do the brokering and they will pick Mitt Romney.

They aren’t going to pick anyone who hasn’t put any sweat into actually running. That includes, Jeb, Mitch, Chris, Sarah, you name it.

If that happened, nobody would ever bother running as a candidate again. It wouldn’t be worth it. The resentment would cause the chosen one to lose.

Romney wins the award for least sincere and least conservative.

Santorum finished a distant fourth last night. Even Paul showed him to be the typical “politician”.
