I fear you are premature in your celebrations.

Remember McCain? After Ames in 2007, he lost all his campaign staff and his campaign was completely bankrupt. If anything, he was worse off than Mitt is now.

Having said that, Romney won't be the next Republican President of the United States. He might get the nomination, but he won't win the general election. I actually hope he doesn't win the nomination.

MCCain, because of his military background, could win south of the Mason Dixon line. Romney cannot. If he cannot win in the Midwest he is DOA.

Agreed. Let’s not write off $hit Romney quite yet. McCain was dead and buried at this time in 2007 and that old buzzard managed to get back into it somehow.

That's what everyone thought. Turns out though that his whole operation was being propped up by other means by George Soros.

Don’t worry—if Perry loses in South Carolina to Bachmann, MNJ will be sucking up to her like her butt was water and he was in the desert. The only reason he’s bashing Romney now is that Perry is the anointed one to the RNCFR types, and Romney stands in the way of that. Heck, if ROMNEY won in South Carolina, he’d be silent until Arizona and then we’d see the brown-nosing start in on Romney.

It’s really interesting how the anti-Romney posters just sorta spread like wildfire around here, even though Romney didn’t even participate in Iowa. I personally would never vote for Romney, but wtf? Why would he bother dropping out now when he’s not even shown up and still won 3%+? It’s not like he’s Perry, who had all the buzz for the week before with his “I’m not a candidate (wink)” campaign, and still only managed to trot out a few votes more.

While I’d never pull the lever for either of them, if forced to choose, I’d rather vote for Romney than Perry. At least Romney wouldn’t be tarring the conservative wing of the party when he sells out and signs off on tax increases. Perry will (as he has in Texas) sing the conservative song all the way to the Capitol, but then vote however his donors pay him to. It’s not like Formula One is coming to Austin on the taxpayers dime because conservatives demanded Perry payoff a bunch of fat cat Europeans. It’s not like there was a conservative groundswell for Gardasil or the Trans-Texas Corridor. It’s because when Ricky is bought, he stays bought.

If he gets the nomination (and I hope he doesn't) he will win the general.

The American People are done with Obama.

I’m so glad that there is someone on this forum who can predict the future. Would you please take pity on those of us without your unique gift and provide the next month’s run of winning numbers for Powerball and Mega Million. Thanks.
