Thanks for running this poll, Jim.
I am an enthusiastic Newtonian so I am pleased with the results, but the real question is when and how do we conservatives consolidate our votes and support behind one non-Romney candidate?
Some folks have said it is already too late but I don’t believe this. I think after FL votes is the time to start, but I don’t know how to proceed.
I would love to see an effort begun here on FR to try to head off Romney before an ongoing Newt-Santorum-Perry dogfight for second allows Romney to clinch the nomination with well under 50% of the primary vote.
I don’t know, but I am expecting at least one of these guys to drop out after South Carolina or Florida, then I think we grassroots conservatives should coalesce around the leading non-Romney conservative soon after. Gingrich, Perry or Santorum are all infinitely better than Obama, Romney or Paul. And it’s probably the only way we’re going to successfully block Romney and the establishment RINOs. I like Gingrich, but I’m not married to him. If Perry or Santorum come out on top, I’ll be happy and will pull for the leading Romney/Paul killer whoever he may be. If we can keep Romney from gaining more than one third of the vote, we should have a pretty good chance of defeating him. NO ROMNEY!! NO PAUL!! NOBAMA!!
