Kind of sounds like wishful thinking at this point

Is Texas winner-take-all?

from the article: “no clear frontrunner is likely to emerge until Texas (155 delegates on April 3) and...”

That April 3 date is unlikely. Today there will be another post-Supreme Court-decision hearing before Federal Judges Orlando Garcia and Xavier Rodriguez, in yet another attempt to allow Texas to have elections. Texas is still under reconstruction, you know.

May it be so! Newt all the way to the White House. Time for everyone who supports Newt to send him more money.

Besides disapproval of the millions Romney spent on “scorched earth” attack ads characterized by news organizations like The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post as prodigiously mendacious, the results also had about them this remarkable fact: Never before had a GOP front runner lost so badly this far into the nomination process — let alone in three states and on the same day.

Indeed in Colorado, Romney was not only defeated by five points in a state he won with 60 percent of the vote four years ago, but this setback came at the hands of a candidate whom he had outspent by a margin of 40 to 1.

"Prodigiously mendacious."

Yes indeed. I think it is also prodigiously mendacious to be getting this "Ok, Ok, vote for whomever you want as long as it's not Gingrich," BS

Never ceases to amaze me how competent people get pilloried in this culture.

Well it’s out of my hands. Me and the wife wasted our vote for Noot a while back here in sunny Florida.

I think I’m going through debate withdrawals. When is the next one . . . Feb 22? Go NEWT!

I have never seen a primary that was supposedly “decided” so far in advance, particularly one that was often “decided” on the basis of ever-changing popularity polls published practically on an hourly basis.

It’s bizarre.

Gingrich certainly has plenty of time to win this one. But I think the libs have perhaps given up on Romney, and are now pushing for Santorum (since he has equally little chance of winning the general election and a fairly liberal voting and fiscal issues record that will dissuade conservatives once it comes out).

I have said it before, I will say it again:

Super Tuesday is going to be a painful reality for Rick Santorum supporters. The delegate count after Super Tuesday is going to be a wake-up call for everyone looking to defeat Romney. More than that, they are going to see just how much “waiting to be assigned delegates later” because of ballot problems is going to hurt his claim as the “real” alternative to Mitt Romney.

Wherever he can actually win on Super Tuesday, Rick will net few delegates even if he does. In places where Romney will win, Mitt will net most of the states’ delegates, same with Newt (GA, for example).

Three full weeks until that day. Only Santorum backers believe nothing will change in that whole period of time.

April 3rd for us in Texas? Good luck with that. We’ll be lucky to have our primary by the middle of June...

Awesome post. People really have the short term memories of hummingbirds. Just a little more than a week ago, people were saying that Santorum should drop out, now he is the front runner. Let’s see what happens after the Romney machine is finished with Saint Rick, who is about as saintly, economic policy wise as a Borgia.

IMHO, Newt Gingrich would be a “big time” frontrunner right now, if not for Newt’s: personal baggage, political baggage, very big ego, lack of money, lack of experienced campaign handlers, and occasional turnover of all other people working for him/volunteering for him. Add to this the combined left’s/RINOS/elitist R’s/establishment R’s continuous attacks upon Newt and everybody who is “politically ignorant” and/or “politically stupid” wanting nothing to do with Newt, and it’s no wonder why Newt isn’t the present frontrunner.

I’ve had my on-and-off doubts, but still pumping for Newt....here in Colorado, the ACTUAL delegates will be chosen April 13 and 14. By delegates to the State Assembly (and I R 1)
