I stand corrected. I was thinking of Iowa. I'm going to have to look up just how often Iowa has picked losers.

Wide margins eh ???
The one with less words on the paper wins ???
Romney does have MUCH less of a conservative record...
To: Al B.
OK. I looked up the results of the last four open GOP presidential caucus (Iowa) and primary (New Hampshire).
The results were Iowa picked the winner two of four times (1996 and 2000) and rejected the winner both times in the general election balloting.
New Hampshire also picked the winner two of four times (1980 and 2008) and rejected the winner one of these times in the general election.
Not at all an impressive track record for the two states which get a lopsided amount of attention in selecting presidential candidates . . .

I certainly agree with you there. Doubt anything will change though, unless the establishment determines that changing the order benefits them and not Sarah Palin.

We can only hope that the sheeple who are waking up to the overhyped POS Zer0 will wake up to how the same enemedia has overhyped the pissant states of New Hampshire and Iowa.

Actually, the current primary order (Iowa, NH, SC) is an interesting situation that might be to Palin's benefit if she were to decide to run. Watch the RNC carefully to see what they do.
Even NH might be interesting once campaigning starts. Reagan was dead in the water in NH until his personal barnstorming tour in NH and the deft debate strategery that made Bush look bad. Good thing he turned it around there. He may not have been the nominee if he had lost there.

I think South Carolina will be the key. Neither Mitt nor Sarah are going to get nasty if they are the main two nominees. They both have a nice public image and aren't going to soil that by hammering the other too soon.
Sarah has the obvious advantage in Iowa because her social conservative credentials are far better. Social conservatism is what matters here because Iowans like their pork and economic populism like ethanol. The only thing which will mess things up for her here is if Huckabee gets into the race because he equals her on socially conservative issues and beats her on economic populism. He may be the Soros tool which plays the same "Judas Goat" role for Romney which he did for McCain in 2008. That's my main worry.
New Hampshire, on the other hand, will value Romney's "experience" over Sarah's solid stance on economic conservatism. Social conservatism takes a major back seat here, especially with a massive influx of left-leaning independents free to crash the primary since there is no contest on the Democrat side.
So minus a Huckabee "Judas Goat" strategy, they go into South Carolina with a split. I really can't see any scenario of Romney beating her here unless (and this is the big if) the Huckabee Judas Goat strategy splits the vote.

I agree on Huckabee. Also, if Huck stays out, DeMint could be the Romney backup plan for splitting the conservative vote in SC.
It won't be easy for anyone and that's the way it should be. I hope the RNC stays out of it at this point but the establishment is out to get Steele. We shall see what happens.

If DeMint gets in, then DeMint wins South Carolina. He is awesome! I don’t know if he has appeal elsewhere, but I would honestly have a hard time choosing between him and Sarah.

If Romney is the nominee, I honestly cant say I will support him.
If Romney gets the nod, its a sure sign the Republicans want all conservatives to f&%k off and die.
Romney will be the nominee if people vote for him in the primaries. Palin will be the nominee if people vote for her in the primaries. Candidate X will be the nominee if people vote for him/her in the primaries.
The real question, and this comes up time and time again, is do you support someone who you like or do you support the candidate who you think has the best chance of winning? I'm going through this right now in the California Senate Campaign. I like Chuck DeVore more than Tom Campbell. But in a state that leans left, I think Campbell has a much better shot at defeating the wretched Barbara Boxer. So now who do I support? I believe Campbell has a much better chance of bringing in moderate votes than does DeVore. So it would break my heart to have DeVore win only to lose to Boxer in the primary. This dilemma has come up time and time again.
What's your take?
Do you honestly think a second Obama term would be preferable to Romney? You can't be serious.

You watch Palin. She will start holding town halls in NH. This will surprise everyone. Romney is too far ahead up there now, and this is not a good position for him to be in.
Palin will not make the mistake of attacking Romney all the time. She will offer her own vision and policies, which is what the Good Gummint types in Iowa and NH want. They are too GD pure to stoop to negative campaigning.
Palin will rise in New Hampshire and she will win that primary. She will do so on deficits, debt, and government spending.
To: jveritas
Glad you clarified that J.
When I read it earlier, it was clear to me (and anyone else who reads it) you meant you supported Romney.
I thought you had surely lost your mind........

I saw the video of Bertha ranting, almost pulling her hair out, lol.
They believe just as strongly in their views as we do in ours. It can’t be peacefully resolved.
It warps my mind to watch her wild eyed look!

After seeing how all those lemmings in New Hampshire were mindlessly herded into the John McCain camp, I've given up on that state. Especially when their primary is open to anyone who wants to screw the GOP.
Too many refugees fleeing the pool of idiots in Vermont and Massachusetts have messed up a once pretty good state.
