Seems to me if he can raise a couple of billion , he might still have a shot at finishing fourth in SC.

South Carolinians are smarter than that.

Ron Paul interferes with Conservative Republicans who are challenging Romney.

Well. Rick Perry got dealt a bad hand with all the early criticism and mindless accusations coming from the Cain camp. Did they ever apologize? Then he made several campaign blunders on his own. That said, he was and is still the best candidate in the race. Experience matters. Dignity matters. Service to God and country matter. Rick Santorum is but a hat tip to Sarah Palin....and I guess Murdoch. I wonder if it will be the ticket that Murdoch created. Santorum/Palin. And we think we have anything to do with anything.

So Perry, Bachmann and Huntsman might be gone...Rick is the big winner here.

Perry's problems were his bad debate performances. Period. He is getting better at them, but first impressions last a long time and it may be too late for him to recover.

Perry should stay in. He has a good shot to catch fire. He would be a much better choice than Romney.

According to Drudge, Perry’s winning. I am not sure if he’s talking about the same thing, though.

lol. I would love to know what they are talking about.

because neither he, nor Santorum, nor Bachmann is going to do well there.

Santorum will come in third. And then President Santorum will win SC and FL.

ROTFLMAO. No Perry lost because of Perry. President Santorum can put Perry as Ambassador of Brazil. I told you folks a long time ago that your support for this loser was not a good idea. Nobody believed me, but I was RIGHT! Go President Santorum!!!!

Ironic. Just this morning on another thread I was wistfully pondering whether Santorum could possibly catch fire.

I blush to admit that although I like his positions, I thought he had a glass jaw and didn’t expect him to stay in long.

But heck, my first two choices were Sarah and Cain. They’re gone, he’s still in fighting. We could definitely do worse.

“He would be a much better choice than Romney.”

He would indeed, however unless some of the conservatives drop out, that hands it to Mitt.

Well, I’ll not vote for any ‘conservative’ who freely spends the taxpayer’s dollar.

Which means no Santorum. His record is just as bad as Bush on spending.

Newt, at least, balanced the budget.

And that means more than any lip service to social causes.

Don’t forget he also endorsed Arlin Spector. who was the 60th vote for closure on Obama care.

I might give him a pass, I’d take him over Paul or Romney..

This sucks. I can’t really get behind any of them.

I am not sure that Newt can win the SC or FL primaries. His adultery and 3 wives don’t sit well with Southerners. FWIW and as strange as it may seem, Romney will be looked upon favorably for his strong religious convictions and his strong family life. Santorum will be looked upon as a Northerner.

Then again we like grits with everything!

Well I wanted him somewhere comfortable. He would rather Mexico but I thought somewhere in South America would be better and I didn’t want to insult the poor guy by saying Venezuela. I don’t knock a guy when he is down.
