[Ozymandias Ghost]

I am a Newt supporter and was just making your point on contraception on another thread to a Santorum supporter who was being rather smug about suggesting Newt needed to drop out if Rick wins Michigan.

That said, I am rooting for Rick in Michigan; as he is the strongest challenge to Romney there and I hope he kicks Mitt's butt! I see it the same as Sarah Palin does: The longer both Newt and Rick can stay in the race the better the chance of defeating Romney.

I fear that neither Santorum nor Gingrich can beat obama in the general. And I’m almost certain that Romney can’t.

So....I guess here’s what I think. Perhaps our only hope is for each candidate to have enough delegates where the convention can be real, and then we can emerge with a new, surprise nominee (ie, Gov Jindal from Louisiana).

Then we have a short intense 3 month campaign, and then we beat obama.

Otherwise, I fear, none of Gingrich, Santorum, Romney nor Paul can win.

And dammit, I am in pain for my country to have to say that. But that is my very real fear at this moment.
