So if Malkin and Rush support and/or voted for Santorum who didn’t have a snowball’s chance, what stops us from voting third Party? If letting a liberal win by voting for the “conscious” vote doesn’t that destroy their third party argument?

Good point.

I would add that after the first four states, Newt will lead Santorum by about half a million votes.

If there were a decent third party, I’d be there. I’m just disgusted right now.

The only thing that I can hope is that this is a wake-up call. Romney has spent a fortune here in Florida (I saw $20 million as the figure) and even he probably can’t do this in every state. He was counting on big wins in the first states, and this is the only state in which he has gotten one (thank you, Rush Limbaugh).

His campaign has been working here for years now and had everything scoped out; he started planning his national strategy right after he lost in 2008, and he had the money to set everything up.

When I went out to vote this morning, for example, the streets were lined with Romney signs. He has no fans here and nobody goes to his campaign events ...he has been lucky to attract a couple hundred, while Gingrich attracts thousands...but suddenly he had all these eager volunteers putting out signs? I don’t think so. He obviously can hire entire squads of people to go out and plant signs during the night, and he can also afford to pay for the huge numbers of signs necessary to blanket an area.

So I don’t know what to say. As long as Gingrich is in the race, I’ll work for him...and it may not be over yet...but I sure don’t care about the GOP anymore.
