Newt is the best principled guy left. I don’t hate on Rick. I am dismayed at Romney’s nastiness and somehow don’t feel he will go after the Bamster with the same level of ferocity. I am hoping against hope for a brokered convention. I don’t care what Dick Morris says - when was the last time he was right about anything?? And a failure on the first ballot resulting in a release of delegates in my opinion created a dynamic of excitement that this race hasn’t had due to a poor slate of candidates - Huntsman? Really? Maybe Herman Cain comes back in to save the day, I don’t know. Palin probably wouldn’t get enough support. But there are conservatives out there who could have a shot with good appeal (Fred Thompson, Bill Owens, Matt Blunt, Condoleeza Rice, JC Watts, Rick Perry, Marc Racicot). But after all the smoke clears, the GOP-E needs to be swept aside once and for all.
LOL. Right on about Dick Morris. Lately you can take what he says and bank on the opposite.
It seem the GOP E are determined to destroy this election, but we can’t let it go without a fight.
I don’t hate Rick, but I Do Not trust him and the feeling is just unshakeable. I think he will sell out his supporters and team up with Romney.
As for Romney, he will be another McCain when it comes to Obama. He will not go after O. That is another reason we desperately need Newt.
I don’t agree with Morris. He’s going back to the 1970s for his baseline. Times have changed. Information moves much faster now. And since the laws on SuperPACs changed, we can have one “not affiliated with any candidate” running the anti-Obama campaign long before we have a nominee. Not to mention, all the candidates will probably support and stump for each other after the convention. They’re not going to thumb their nose at the party. The main difference is we’ll have a TON of publicity leading up to the convention and at it. The convention always gives its party a bump as far as I know. If they knock the speeches there out of the park and eviscerate Obama properly, with the extra ratings, we should only get a bigger bump out of a higher-profile event. Even Mitt will probably back off the sliming of fellow Republicans after the voting is over while we wait for the convention in the 2-month interim.
