He fails to address the media’s total lack of negative coverage on Romney and seems to equate that lack of negative converage with the GOP elite having considered the facts of this election and having reached a reasonable conclusion that Romney is the grassroots’ chosen candidate according to all national polls thus far.

McCain got the same treatment...until he was actually nominated, at which point the media turned on him. McCain was stupid enough to believe that the media really loved him, so he never fought back and never really attacked Obama. Face it, the media is about 95% Dem/liberal/radical, and they ALWAYS want the weakest Republican candidate. I think that they cringe in fear of someone like Gingrich, who will not only attack Obama relentlessly, but he'll go out of his way (like last night) to make the Media Shill of the Day look like the damned fool that he or she is.

That said, I will probably vote for Romney if he's the Republican nominee, simply to get rid of Obama. Obama and those around him are dead set on destroying this country as we know it, and he'll never have to face the public again if he wins. At least Romney will have to face the public in 2016, and he'll also (IMHO) be forced to take a pretty conservative person as Veep (DeMint, for example) to have a hope of a large turnout of the base. I won't like that choice at all, and I'll do what I can to see that Gingrich gets the nomination (I don't think that Santorum really has a shot, though I like him a lot). Threatening to take our ball home if we don't like how the game ends up isn't the path to defeating Obama.

Oh, by the way, it looks a lot like Romney did NOT win in Iowa - the recount, still in progress, shows Santorum 80 votes ahead of where he was before. This is NOT a fait accompli, Romney does NOT have to win - and I hope he doesn't.
