Mitt is a disaster for the GOP, he has to be stopped.
I agree with you. I think our best hope is for the “tag team” to throw this into a brokered Convention.
Santorum 2012
Can’t argue with anything you just said. Although I can say the only thing we can do is vote for the candidate we feel is best suited to fix this country. Then... if mitt wins... just vote for congressional seats in the general and write-in someone conservative for POTUS :D
Is the writer of the opinion piece you posted, Robert McCain, one of “those” McCains?
If they work together we could have "8+8".
Eight years of Newt as president followed by eight years of Santorum....Sixteen years of a conservative in the WH should turn the country around.
I'm not sure who is stronger in Arizona - but I think that will be secondary for Santorum, though he'll be there for the debate. I would guess Newt will focus his energy there.
Arizona is a tough state as it has a fair number of moderates and a strong minority of Mormons.
I personally think Santorum has the best chance against Romney here in Michigan. Hopefully he’ll get up here after a couple days rest and start mingling with the folks.
The lds-org denies that Jesus is the Creator, that everything was created THROUGH Him, BY Him and FOR Him.
They deny that Jesus created even the angels out of nothing.
They do NOT teach the truth about Jesus.
Freeper impimp has also championed the collaborative alliance idea, and I think it makes a lot of sense. It does require a departure from the conventional campaign mentality, but if Santorum and Gingrich can’t do that - are they really the right men for the job? BY working together they would force Romney to defend himself on two fronts at once, and by not sniping at each other but instead focusing on Obama and “Obama-lite” the campaign would have a more positive feel for conservatives and others who are afraid of Romney but maybe aren’t convinced who is the best “non-Romney” at this point.
There are no perfect candidates. What we need is the best conservative who can beat Obama.
....the glimmer of a possibility that Romney can still be beat. But it will nevertheless be a difficult challenge.....

Nah; it will not be difficult; Obozo will take him out easily in November.
I read this today and thought it timely.
We don’t need to see the way if we’re following the One who is the Way.
Strength for the journey, 2/8/2012
It’s possible that strategy has already been employed- Newt appeared only 1 time in Colorado and Mn- ran no ads- and has not said anything negative about Rick.
Some here on FR were saying Santorum was the best conservative in the race...but there was some sort of embrace of Newt because he was vicious in attacking the media.
I think Santorum could win this if Newt dropped out. I don’t think Newt could beat Romney if Santorum dropped out. Newt has hit a wall with Married women and has too much baggage. Santorum can win this and Newt chould put his Ego away and do the right thing.
Santorum and Gingrich really can’t form an alliance because they have very different political philosophies. Santorum is Romney lite - he’s a GOP establishment guy who is different from Romney only in his social conservatism, and in being a dweeby, Jimmy Carter type of person rather than a crazy eyed Mormon missionary type. He’s not likeable, but he’s sure a lot more likeable than Romney, who has absolutely distinguished himself in this campaign by being vicious, petty, deceitful - and having that expressionless, synthetic but at the same time aggressive Mormon-missionary face that really turns people off.
Since Romney and Santorum share a lot of positions and both of them have launched personal attacks on Gingrich, I’d say that voters weren’t going for ideas but for the lesser of two evils. Romney was expected to win, thus indicating a large percentage of middle of the road, semi-RINO voters, and Gingrich wasn’t even on the ballot in the only real primary, so the voters that Romney was courting clearly indicated that he is so unpleasant that they too will pick anybody but him.
I hope GOP Central gets the message.
To the headline: (I wanted to say bat but that’s going to far) so I will say instead, with dirty underwear.
Gingrich, for all of "pluses" (and there are many) is not electable for many reasons, most important of which (I'm sad to say) is appearance. Too many voters will vote for Obama's car-salesman smile over Gingrich's dissolute slob optics. (Yes, things should be different.)
Mister Gingrich's numerous crazy Ivans while in the Congress and while in front of a camera would provide endless fodder for the billion dollars of campaign $$$ that Obama has extracted from his fellow travelers. The easiest job in the world, my FRiends, would be to write anti-Newt ad copy. There is nobody Newt G can blame for this, he chose to say the things he said, to cast the votes he voted, and to make the "family" decisions he made. Frankly, Gingrich's toxicity is his own doing.
Santorum keeps looking more and more like a winner, and our best possible candidate (from among the group of 4 remaining.)
.
Santorum has now won more states than Mitt & Newt. It is time for Newt to drop out, and clear path for Santorum. One on one, Rick will defeat Mitt. If both stay in (Newt & Rick) then advantage goes to Mitt, since he collects proportional delegates in each contest.
“What the Santorum-Gingrich tag-team has so far achieved against Romney in sequential contests, they must now attempt to repeat in simultaneous contests.”
The people seem to be doing this on their own. It may not take collaberation between the campaigns.
Gingrich and Santorum have already figured this out. They are both better off if they both stay. Two targets for Romney makes it much harder for him to repeat what he did in Iowa and Florida to Newt. Plus, the more Romney stays negative the harder it becomes for him to be the nominee.
