Dude, relax. These are historical trends and patterns playing out - our ability to impact them is very limited. Watch and observe, don’t get sucked into anger. If you’re getting angry too much, disconnect from the media some. That’s what *I* had to do. I know what they’re all saying anyway/.

No. YOU people need to DROP NEWT and SUPPORT SANTORUM. He’s the only clean candidate we’ve got. Conservatism WORKS. Forget Newt. You’re anti-American if you don’t support Santorum.

Do you want to know why I'm against Romney?

It's really very simple.....

Because Mitt lost to McCain, and McCain lost to Obama.

Q.E.D.

(Any other stupid questions?)

Mittens is Obama lite and cannot win

Newt can’t win because he has too much baggage.

Santorum can’t win because he is a lightweight

That leaves the good Dr. Paul as the only Repub who can whup Obama

FL is full of transplanted northerners, and I guess Santorum is not sufficiently Yankee for them.

The problem is that delegates are not assigned proportionally.

It is absurd to have a "winner" who 60-80% of the Republicans vote against.

If a state committee wants a "winner take all" delegate award, make the definition of "winner" 67%, otherwise award the delegates proportionally. And make the big states go last, no earlier than June 1.

GO NEWT!

I fully respect Rick Santorum. However, I cannot comprehend or accept the fact that Romney is garnering such voting attention. The Conservative vote is being split. Newt is the man with the most experience and the most promise. Rick and Rick need to back away and have their voters go for Newt. It's the only approach that makes sense to me. If it's only Newt, he will cream Romney.
Let it happen.

Romney would not be able to win if they did that.

Under your scenario the poll would be:

Newt = 45 Romney = 36

The GOP establishment cant have that.

I wonder if Romney and Perry had some sort of secret meeting?

Listening to Rush now, and my read between the lines is that he is leaning to Romney, without saying so just yet.

The establishment vote is unified. We conservatives can’t win this way.

As they do so well, the GOP is pulling defeat from the jaws of victory in November. The Obama team will use our words in their ads in the General Election. We are our own worst enemy. The divided GOP is giving Obama four more years in the White House to finish destroying this nation.
