Some people have a hard time acepting reality. We’ve been through many candidates and this is what we’re left with. Newt’s numbers just aren’t there and Santorum will never win the general. Newt and Rick are going to split the votes in the south. Who is that going to help? I’m guessing people didn’t even listen to Romney’s speech last night. He took it to obama pretty darn good. When you consider that he’s taken incoming from the left and the right and in spite of splitting the vote four ways is still surviving. At what point do we stop dismissing the actual voters who are keeping him in? He even took a nice chunk of the senior vote. At this point I’m going with a reality.

Reality is what it is......Romney won by splitting the vote. And RUN Paul is every bit as much of a factor but most here, seem to be blaming Newt for Romney's win

Here is another dose of reality for you Santorum fanatics; Newt had the lead months ago, but santorum benefited by being virtually invisible at the time Romney focused all of his big money and guns at Newt, and took him down at a critical moment in the race.

Now that Santorum has proved that he cannot deliver and his Big Mouth is his own worst enemy, the newest Santorum fairy tale/fantasy is that Santorum “actually won” Michigan, by losing to Romney by only 3 points. (Pay no attention to all those Democrat crossovers who Santorum paid campaign funds in order to pander to at the last minute.)

I certainly do not blame Newt for any of this. I do blame the ignorant Lemming voters in this party, who stampede blindly to career moderate/big government candidates like Santorum, who have him wrongly classified as a “true CONservative”. Socially yes, fiscally, he's a joke!

I appreciate that Free Republic pretty much officially hates Romney. I believe that is based on his record as governor and a total mistrust that he has switched on issues like abortion.

However, where many here depart from reality is they discuss Romney as a present day liberal candidate. He simply is not. Romney is campaigning as the most conservative republican. You don’t have to believe him but Romney currently is pro life, favors the strictest anti illegals policy, supports conservative judges, repealing Obamacare, etc.

As for giving a speech I’ve watched a couple now, he is about 10 times better than Santorum, and the speeches are very anti-Obama.

I’ve supported each front runner so that included Perry, Newt, Rick, Hermann. I considered Michelle not sure she was a true front runner. Pawlenti seemed ok but ended up being a dead fish candidate.
