Huh? I wonder about alterPaul’s sanity.

[ConfidentConservative]

AMEN!

[Lazlo in PA]

This is a very sad day indeed. Now we won't see the Huntsman daughters anymore. Very sad.

I will also miss hearing debate answers in Mandarin Chinese.

Please don’t pollute Free Republic with the name ‘Jay Severin’, Mitt Romney’s #1 fan.

I actually like huntsman more than mittens.

The Lord thanks you and so do I. Newt is the only one that can get us back on track to restoring this wonderful nation called AMERICA. It is still the best country in the world, God established it and HE can sustain it IF we do our part. VOTE NEWT GINGRICH.

If any of you have contact with NEWT, tell him not to get tangled up with defending something romney says, that is a trap to keep him off the important issues. Do not mention romney in any manner, don't give him TIME for rebuttal. Same with blathering paul.

True that!

Yes.

[lwoodham]

He was never a serious candidate and was Romney’s ace in the hole. Now that Romney has mounted a little lead Huntsman is no longer needed. I could smell Romney all over him in the debates.

[Persevero]

“I just don’t get the Rick Perry supporters.”

Something that may help is to know that at this point, the delegate count is:

Romney 13 soft/7 hard
Santorum 6 soft

That’s it.

And 1245 needed to win?

It’s still anybody’s game.

Of course they have to consider internal polls and breaking scandals and funding and the like, but, from my point of view, this race is still wide open.

Newt is smart enough to know they will attempt to play gotcha. If I see him look down and grin than I know he has got THEM. I am always braced for trickle down slime from FAUX NEWS.
Can dead folks vote in SC?

[DNA.2012]

This is historic!

A surprise withdrawal from the race by John Hun-

John Hunt-

What was his name again?

[MestaMachine]

Ummm. Did you receive any Freepmails from that jerk? Maybe you should know that in one of them, he called Jim Robinson gay. Turns out he was a retread with no posts and a signup date of Jan 15.. I don’t run to daddy. But when someone insults him, I DO think he has a right to know, don’t you?

[octex]

lol... Appreciate your humor in #168! Most postings on this thread are depressing.

[octex]

Agree with all you said in #188!! Great rant!

These damned daily push polls are influencing too many non-thinkers.

[tellw]

Will miss the daughters.

[My Favorite Headache]

He stayed in it for only one reason...to keep votes away from Newt and Santorum.

[My Favorite Headache]

He stayed in it for only one reason...to keep votes away from Newt and Santorum in NH. Mission accomplished.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

I’m not handing anything to Mitt Romney!!! The voters of South Carolina will do that!!! And....my friend you will be surprised how many conservatives and Tea Party folks give their votes to Mitt Romney. Now.......if the race were between Romney, Santirum and Paul, the outcome would be significantly different. But.....with Gingrich & Perry in the mix, Mitt Romney has got this one in the bag!!!

My point, anyone voting for Gingrich or Perry is just plain wasting their vote, for obvious reasons known to most dedicated Republican, Conservative and Tea Party voters.
