Newt currently has the best chance of defeating Romney. That’s the only quality that matters right now. I’m a Santorum supporter, but because Rick fell flat on his face after Iowa, I’ve given my support to Newt because we’re only a few days away from potentially ceding momentum to Willard Romney the open socialist.
I don’t understand why you people still cling to failing candidates. Don’t you realize that defeating Romney is just as important as defeating Obama? If we make the same mistakes as ‘08, we’ll have the same election results as ‘08 with John McCain v2.0.
It just dawned on me, is the primary similar to the general, in that delegates are there to support who they represent, but actually make their own vote?
Reason for asking is, if Romney were to win a plurality but either Santorum or Gingrich had by the time of the convention already dropped out of the race - could the departing candidate assign their own delegates to the other?
Thereby, resulting in victory for the recipient of the assigned delegates?...
“Fell flat”???? Not only did Santorum most likely win in Iowa, he came in ahead of Newt in New Hampshire. Stop assuming that Newt can win...he’s got too many skeletons the DNC will have a field day with to be even considered as a nominee. His numbers dropped like a stone in Iowa and beyond which should be fair warning of things to come.
Let’s go ahead and examine your logic here.
You say Rick Santorum fell flat on his face because he got 9.3% of the vote, so you’re switching to someone who got the same percent of the vote despite having spent millions on TV ads.
