You’re only ensuring a Romney victory.
No matter how many states Santorum might win, he cannot become the nominee because he has no delegates in numerous key states.
Santorum was given a free pass in Iowa. Barely any media attacks and the other candidates did not smear him. It was a combo of Mitt and Paul’s super pacs and scorched earth ads that hurt Newt.
Newt is polling 3% behind Romney in SC...3%!!!!! a vote for Rick Santorum of Rick Perry is a vote for Romney.
PING!
BTTT.
Another home run response. I don’t get much time on Free Republic so it’s nice to see someone not harping on Newts few negatives.
Churchill of our time and that’s a fact.
At this point in time Newt is the only one who can put the brakes on Mitt. Folks in South Carolina need to vote for Newt as it will help keep the rest of the candidates in the race. Sarah Palin is right on target. GO NEWT GO!Good points! And I understand Perry is doing the responsible thing and dropping out.
SC voters: If you liked Rick or Rick, THINK ABOUT THIS before voting.... Each congressional district will have 2 delegates given to the winner-take-all within the district (that's 14 delegates total) And Statewide, there will be 11 delegates given to the winner-take-all at the state level So let's assume Romney is still barely in 1st place in the polls just before the vote. Let's assume there is only ONE close NON-Romney in 2nd place (Newt). Maybe YOU would prefer Rick or Rick.... But, IF YOU Vote for Rick or Rick, you have most likely helped award ALL delegates TO ROMNEY because it is WINNER TAKE ALL!!!! The ONLY way to NOT hand your SC delegates to ROMNEY is to consolidate all conservative votes behind the LEADING NON-ROMNEY Best in debate against Obama? |
Not long ago,I had settled on Rick Santorum. I have since changed my support to Newt. Why? Because he is the only one who can take it to the Zero come debate time. Being a Washington insider isn’t necessarily a bad thing,as many would have us believe. Sometimes to get to know the soul of the pig,you gotta roll around in the mire with them. And I could care less about his personal life. He’s running for POTUS, not sainthood.Don’t get me wrong,I don’t condone adultery,but being faithful to your wife is not a prerequisite to having leadership qualities. If he can get elected and assemble a powerful administration that can reverse much of the damage that’s been done to us as a country,that’s good enough for me. He’s got my vote.
and it's high time the GOP stopped running candidates against the will of the base - just because it's 'their turn'
the entire party, delegate and nomination process is designed to give the entrenched party hacks a grand advantage over the rank and file
look what Bohner and Co have done to the newbies elected by the Tea Party groups
.... and more importantly and pragmatically ... Jim Robinson has endorsed Newt today
.
Thank you....Couldn’t agree more!
I stand with/for Newt
