I thought no person could serve more than two terms in a row.

Or — you could just vote for Fred Thompson. He’s probably still on the ballot on most Super Tuesday states anyway — I know he still is in Illinois.

You are nuts. First, many states are winner take all. In California, they award three votes, winner take all, by Congressional district. I suggest you do the math and see where your nonsensical suggest leads us to. Have you also factored in the results already in?

Newt Gingrich?

Does anyone think that Newt Gingrich will be who the RNC would selects if they broker the convention?

Good idea, but how does it actually work at the convention? I don’t trust the GOP establishment at all. They have zero interest in representing the People of the United States.

Romney will carry the states in the Northeast.

Actually I think McCain might take them. Hope not.

I agree. Romney isn’t going to win in places like Alabama and Georgia so why not throw your vote to someone like Huckabee who could? Make sure the vote is split fairly well. Mitt isn’t the most conservative. A lot of people hear hate John McCain but when you put his record alongside Romney’s. Romney has a far more liberal history. He supported Homosexual activists and appointed homosexuals to judgeships. He put together a Universal Health care plan that required the state to pay for more abortions than before it was enacted. He ordered Catholic hospitals to provide the Morning After Pill. He is a NorthEast liberal. He even voted in the Democrat primary as recently as 1992 and then ran against Ted Kenney in 1994 claiming he wasn’t looking to go back to the Reagan Bush era. So these people who are trying to convince themselves that Romney is the guy they are smoking something. I like you don’t want any of them to win outright. I want to see a fight because I won’t vote for Romney or McCain in the general election unless they put a strong conservative on the ticket with them.

I listened to them in the Reagan Library debate and they all were horrible little men. Talking about global warming and health care. None mentioned anything that would help introduce more competition into the Health care and McCain offered his silly that we need to do something on Global Warming whether it is real or not. Jesus are these all that are available? Where is the common uncommon man like Washington? These are uncommonly political men.

GWB is better than all of them. Do we really want to take a step backward and elect these losers?

This is the stupidest idea I have heard!!! In case you haven’t noticed, McCain is running way ahead all over. Romney and Huckabee combine for only a few states. USE YOUR HEAD PLEASE!!!!!! The only way to insure a brokered convention is to oppose McCain everywhere. Under the most optimistic scenarios for conservatives, McCain comes out ahead after super Tuesday.
For Heaven’s sake, just vote against McCain wherever you are. If you neutralize Romney’s and Huckabee’s wins, it will never get to Brokered!!
You apparantly don’t know how this process works!
