Whoops. I know it’s 2/26, not 2/27.
So, are we going to get another establishment liberal hack dumped on us again?
Thanks admin, for correcting so quickly.
In a perfect world this would be absurd.
I feel such moral revulsion about Romney, it will take every ounce of willpower to vote for him against Obama, if it comes to that.
But maybe I just won’t do it, and if it looks like the guy is unstoppable, we should just focus on the House & Senate & state governorships as a check against oppressive government.
Michigan and Washington winS will put Rick back on top.
And keeping Willard the Lib’s AZ win in single digits would ALSO be nice.
Please make calls into those states:
It’s easy and fun AND WILL have a huge impact on the election...

BINGO, BC.
I have decided that I will not vote for the phony, unethical liar, Rombo Romney and it is so freeing to know that I don’t have to ever again compromise my principles and support an Est-e choice just because they threaten me.
Mistake I made was to tell a few GOP insiders types of my personal decision, causing them to froth at the mouth, calling me a traitor and insisting that if Obama wins, it’ll be all my fault.
So here’s my response from now on(more or less) and you may want to use it too:
“If Obama wins another term, it won’t be because of Conservatives like me who have decided not to compromise our core values by voting for this dishonorable man.
Rather, it will be because of:
A.The mass number of uninformed, brain dead entitlement minded drones who repeat their first mistake out of blind loyalty, white guilt and/or ignorance.
B.An equally uninformed GOP-E, of which you are a member,who saw fit to try to force a Mitt Romney down our throats.
No thanks, No Romney/No Way.
Oh, and I agree with you, BC. There are many other races that we can focus on.
Based on the top two, I’d say YES.
So Mariner, how much more proof do you need based on what I told you Friday? Again, another tracking poll confirms what I knew all along would happen if Santorum dropped: many supporters would eventually just surrender because they’re just tired of having their candidate ripped to shreds by not just the MSM, but by so called conservatives. Romney goes up, but Newt doesn’t gain anything.
Knowing who the voters are and what the demographics are will get you to that insight.
So now that we have verifiable proof I know what I’m talking about, you got two options:
(1) Help Santorum win Michigan, which should allow him to hold onto Washington on 3 Mar and proceed to win on Super Tuesday in states where he should win OR
(2) Continue spewing the Anti-Santorum crap, let Romney win by 15+ in both MI and AZ, possibly upset in WA and cruise to Super Tuesday upsets where he will be declared the “inevitable” nominee again
Your call..
Newt supporters should vote for Rick Santorum in Michigan. Derail Romney now!
So...is Michigan lost now or what? Everyone is acting like it is. Does Santorum still have a shot in MI?
I have not given up re the Republican primaries.
I was speaking about what to do if Romney does clinch the Republican nomination, which I do not take to be inevitable.
The history has been that Romney does not gain momentum after a big win. He tends to get pummeled in the next state. NH led to Newt winning SC. FL led to Rick’s hat trick. The trend is that a win by one of the other guys leads to a huge Romney attack ad blitz winning him the next state, and then the next states swinging back to a conservative. With Rick damaged, that conservative could be Newt.
I still think people should vote for Rick in MI and AZ since Newt has already conceded those states and in the long run, we may need Rick to share his delegates with Newt so they can win at the convention. Super Tuesday is when it will be time to go Newt-clear again.
I’ll call it.
This moment in time is not frozen.
Life and the world move on.
When polls said something different, along each twist and turn, to be consistent you would’ve had to accept each one as “forever”, which I’m quite sure you did not.
If you did, how absurd.
The more general point which I will make again, not for you because you appear to be a one tune, single note piper, piping away every day...but for those who aren’t stuck where you are...
There is no reason on earth or in the solar system or galaxy, or in the common sense we should’ve learned as a child, to believe that only Rick Santorum can defeat Romney and Obama.
That is an obsession bordering on delusion.
Who in the world is Rick Santorum that he now eclipses everyone else as “the only one”, or the “lone saviour”, or whatever??
Balderdash.
Both Newt & his campaign manager have in recent interviews all-but-explicitly advised supporters to vote for Santorum in Michigan. I think the reason it’s not completely explicit is they don’t want to start a meme that Newt has given up generally, and they also don’t want to supply material for a YouTube video where the “in Michigan” part is edited out of the statement “vote for Santorum.”
The trend in all the primaries has been that whichever direction the polls go in the last few days before the primary, is only enhanced during the actual vote. So whichever candidate is on his way down or up only ends up further down or up on election day. That indicates a win for Mitt. Even Newt said Friday he expects Mitt to have a good day and win MI and AZ. I’d like to say Rick had a chance to turn it around, but it’s pretty easy to poll just one state vs. a national election, and the polls have made every one of these primaries so far very predictable.
No...Rick supporters should vot for Newt. Geez...
In Michigan?
