Had dinner with a Tea Party activist and a local legislator last night. They both looked at me like I was crazy when I spoke of Newt or Rick’s “chances”.
They advised me to accept that Mitt is the nominee cuz they are positive that he will be.
Are we at FR the only ones who think Mittens nom. is not inevitable?
Are we in denial?
Please advise this battered but still standing Conservative!
Judging by the low ceiling that Milt has in winning states and his inability to consolidate any further support no matter how hard he hits the other candidates, I would say your friends are the ones mistaken. In my right wing circles, some of whom are rank and file middle of the road GOP voters, the topic seems to come up more frequently how weak Milt is after we were told how he is inevitable by all the usual outlets.
There is just no way Romney is going to be the nominee while Santorum rides shotgun in the polls with him. If Milt doesn’t win MI by a decent amount or loses, I will bet all of your friends will have serious second thought on his inevitability too.
