You got it, girl!

We are not conceding, suspending, giving up or giving in, we’re not quitting, we’re not resigning and we’re not blinking, for anything or anybody.

These thread trolls think it is about getting Newt the nomination and absolutely nothing else. They’re so stuck on their candidate they won’t fight the GOP-E with whatever stick is handy. Newt is a hell of a stick and I want to hear him roar at convention.

It’s also about the WHOLE campaign against the GOP-E for putting up this RINO, funding him to kill off the chances for any conservative willing to run, and without Newt there would be a heck of lot fewer concessions forced on Romney than with him.

This race isn’t over anyway. Romney should be made to bleed for every delegate he gets. Newt will try and see that does. :)

We’re in until Newt is out! Newt, 2012

Thx, tx!

I’m wondering if the convention delegates vote on anything else there besides the nominee. If they vote on parts of the platform then that would be more incentive to get more Newt delegates to go.

I think that the record shows that if the non-Romneys decide to consolidate around Newt, Romney would lose the vast majority of the upcoming states. He only won 3 actual states where everyone was on the ballot with over 50% of the vote. At that rate he’d only win 2 out of the next 20 states.

If Romney LOSES 564 out of the remaining 1,053 delegates, then he does not reach the magic 1,144 number and I presume it goes to the convention (as best I can calculate, not knowing which unbound delegates might declare for him). The outcome of this primary is still ALL up to the voters, not to the elites.

Why all of a sudden do we need to get behind Romney? Because his boy quit and now Newt has to, too? I don't get the logic. My advice to Levin: stop picking lousy candidates (Thompson, Bachmann!, Santo) and stop telling Newt to get behind Romney.

GO NEWT.
