Even McClatchy can see the handwriting on the wall, it seems.

Keep Obama sweating.

If Newt wins, Obama may actually have to do some work. Damn.

Let’s not get comfortable. FL is bound to be brutal, and people will need to fight hard there.

Pelosi threatening to dig up Newt’s old ethics issues means to me that they are more afraid of Newt than Romney.

That wouldn't surprise me. Rick Santorum is a petulant little child with an inferiority complex who would do something like that out of spite.

To win you've got to carry your party's voting base plus rip off a faction from the other major party.

Again, you've got to carry your own party's voting base FIRST.

Romney seemed poised to rip off a couple of Democrat factions ~ but not the Republican party voting base. He seemed to be stuck at something nearer 23% than not.

That's not a winner, and frankly, I cannot trust the political acumen of those who imagine that kind of candidate should head up the Republican ticket this Fall.

Here in Virginia all of our Republican "big dogs" (or was that "big Republican dogs") imagined that they would be in Hog Heaven by wheeling and dealing with Mitt. They even greased the skids for him and froze all the regular Republicans and Conservatives from the primary list. We have no one to vote for.

I just heard the first reports in had Newt getting most of the votes with the first 10% of the precincts counted.

Sounds to me like people are more concerned with national security, freedom, jobs and the basics.

[I just read on another thread that santorum may endorse willard (according to Laura Ingraham.)]

That might finish Santorum as a political figure. I think such an endorsement would be viewed as sour grapes.

Let’s hear now from all the Santorum fans how conservative he is.

I want ...to see . . .her EAT CROW.

Really bad. I want to see her hang her head in shame.

I’d eventually like to see her become entirely irrelevant, her ratings plummet, and learn of her fate sometime later, scavenging for stories at the smallest market local MSNBC affiliate.

If little Ricky does this out of spite then he can kiss his career goodbye. Your diagnosis is dead on. What a little man.
