Sabato nails it. The article has a good exposition on Romney's chances from hereon. The X factor may be how much campaign money Newt can lay his hands on for the Florida push. Ignore conventional wisdom; the SC result seems to have handily destoyed that (CW). Perhaps Adelson and others can stoke the engine again. Of, course, all of us supporting him can ante-up too.

I think Romney has been revealed to be terminally weak, and one thing america does not need at this time is weak.

I have many questions about the caucus voting in Iowa. That there were so many votes that will never be counted ; that Romney was originally declared "winner" when there were so many voting irregularities.

I believe that the integrity of elections right here in the USA is going in the toilet.

IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY, we will soon have presidents pre-selected, and it won't matter at all what is in the ballot boxes ---- I believe this, anyway.

Right or wrong, Sabato is a pain in the arse.

In a Parliamentary system, Romney would have an excellent shot of forcing his way into the premiership. He’s half liberal, half conservative. (Well, that’s being generous)

But we’re electing a PRESIDENT here.

I think the X factor is Mitt’s high ranking status as a Bishop in the Mormon Church and the tens of millions he has given over to them in cash and stocks.
The more I learn about this group, the scarier it gets.

I have to ponder, what does Santorum want?

He’s not going to be the nominee, so what’s his purpose for staying in?

What does he hope to gain?

[nuf said]

Just a symptom of the ADD media. Romney didn’t win Iowa so his ‘momentum’ was mostly just media hype.

I just wish I could get excited about Gingrich, if he is to be the nominee. I will vote for him, but I am not inspired to go out and work for his campaign.

If he picks Sarah or Col. West, my enthusiasm would definitely perk up.
