I understood the GOP elite argument earlier on, but now people are actually voting for Romney in the primaries. The money is with him, I get that too, but my frustration is with stupid people more than the GOP elite. No one if forcing them to vote for Mittens, and yet, the sheep keep doing it...

Put your ballot in for whom? Newt?
A lengthy speech at the convention? zzzzzz

Sounds good to me. I will never vote for Romney.

I hope it is a battleground. I have been saying for months now we needed a TEA Party march on GOP headquarters...
I think this will do nicely- we even have a date, folks.
show up, bring a large vehicle, food, and water and a porta-potty, and tie up that place like it never has been

I think all these convention goers are annoyed that they will actually have to do some work instead of the usual party.

I will not trade four more years of the Kenyan for eight years of a better bred, lighter skinned . . . Kenyan.

And what is this love for Marco Rubio for VP?
I dont get it- he seems a nice enough YOUNG KID but not presidential for about 20 more years

Newt.... a speech long enough to let him get over his academic arrogance to expound on his real plans - those not including explaining how he'll not be backsliding on AGW, amnesty, cooperating with liberals, crossing the aisle, etc.
He needs to be Churchill, not say he is. Epic statemanship, not lectures.

“If it’s a brokered convention, who’s going to be doing the brokering? Hint: it’s not the grass roots. “1
People seem to miss this point. The establishment will still have the upper hand.
It would, most likely, be a bruising fight which would ultimately increase the chance of re-electing BO.

Seems risky, but - Hey - if it gets Romney out of the picture then it might be the way to go . . . Agreed; nobody that the GOP could stick in there at the convention would be measurably worse than Mitt. So, nothing to lose.

Probably a “better” RINO than McRomney though.

I'm not excited by the possibility of a brokered convention, not when Mitt Romney is the man the insiders are trying to push on us against our will. Still, a second round of ballots could not possibly do any worse than sticking us with Mitt. I'm hoping that the "leadership" will accept reality and choose someone not in the race, someone undamaged. DeMint comes to mind as a realistic possibility, a conservative who is acceptable to the GOP insiders. After all, how likely are they to find a modern day Ronald Reagan ready to go? Would they even know where to look?

He gave a good victory speech last night, Gaffer, but a good speech does not win elections.
Newt needs to realize that he cannot win the nomination and join forces with Santorum to take Mittens out at the knees.

I wonder how many of these primaries are open primaries. Or people can register right before. Dems can then (and do) register for the primary, vote for the one best suited to lose, and then go back to being a Dem. Of course open primaries totally suck in every way.

It will be Jeb Bush unfortunately. I'd like to be able to type, "Even the GOP leadership isn't quite that stupid", but I'd get laughed at for posting something so dumb and I could very easily be wrong.

PBS has a debate scheduled in Oregon on March 19th. So far, it hasn’t been cancelled, though I suspect it will be. The only candidate who profits from debates is Gingrich, and neither Santorum nor Romney have any reason to allow that.
