I would love to see a two-man race between Gingrich and Santorum, and if Romney had been defeated in Michigan, I think that's what we'd be seeing right now. Romney is a successful businessman who cares about the bottom line, and eventually, as he did four years ago, he may come to the conclusion that he's throwing good money after bad.
In the meantime, let's work to counteract Romney's bottomless budget for negative advertising by going out and trying to convince our Republican friends and neighbors that Mitt Romney is running in the wrong political party's primary election. After that, let's explain why we think our candidate, whether Santorum or Gingrich, is the best of the two real Republicans on the Republican ballot.
If we do that, maybe we still have a chance of winning this thing.
While both candidates have baggage, I sincerely hope their supporters don't bite and devour each other so badly that Romney ends up being the main beneficiary.
I'm sitting here at my computer tonight, and when I should be writing articles on local government and reviewing the resume of a potential new employee, I'm instead reading Free Republic and listening to election reports which say Rick Santorum won both Mississippi and Alabama. Newt Gingrich is being quoted saying the two conservative candidates got 70-plus percent of the votes in those two states.
Let's all be grateful, regardless of which candidate we supported, that despite our own internal disputes, at least Romney didn't win tonight. In the long run that's the most important message from what happened tonight.
The backers of Santorum and Gingrich need to repair our frayed relationships enough to defeat Romney in the primary and Obama in the general election. I have a feeling that Gingrich and Santorum get along considerably better than a lot of their supporters.
