[Utmost Certainty]

Horse hockey. In any two man race, Romney loses.

According to who or what?

The sooner people come to this realization, the sooner we can begin backing an actual conservative candidate. Romney's numbers have not gone up in months. This means that a sizable majority of Republican voters will back anyone other than Romney.

The problem with this analysis, is that the anti-Romney forces are too scattered to prevent a Romney nomination (and by implication, an Obama reelection). Gingrich is the last man standing who could prevent that—Bachmann, Santorum, and Perry are utter nonstarters now for the reasons I pointed out in brief.

I know you dislike Gingrich, considering your post history, but you should probably consider whether you dislike Romney more.

From what I witnessed four years ago, I can say with absolute certainty that Romney will not win California. He won't win New York or Pennsylvania. He won't win West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, or Oklahoma. He won't win a single Southern state. He definitely won't win Missouri. And there is a good chance he would lose Utah as well. Knowing that, how do you reckon he is going to win the nomination? Need I remind you that Gingrich was a non-starter only a few months ago. And by the time the first primary results start coming in, he will already be on the downward slope.

Like I said, Mitt is not going to be the candidate. He cannot overcome his high negative percentage. And on that same note, neither can Newt Gingrich. There is no point in ceding the race to Newt Gingrich a month before the first primary vote is cast. When Rick Perry pulls off the upset in Iowa, will you still be saying that McNewt is the anointed one?
