Voting for Newt, May 8, in NC, and voting against gay marriage too. Striking a blow against Communism (Obama) and socialism (Romney)!

Newt is still on the ballot so there is still one option.

I like it. A long shot to be sure, but I like it. I also like your “never say die” attitude!

Santorum 2012

Read Why Reagan Won: The Conservative Movement 1964-1981 (Chicago: Regnery, 1981) by F. Clifton White and William J. Gill. This includes a fascinating account of the 1968 Republican National Convention.

Going into the convention, Richard Nixon had the organization, the money, the backing of most of the party bosses, the momentum, and, most of all, the lion's share of the delegates. However, he didn't have enough to win on the first ballot, and Ronald Reagan, who was running as a "favorite son" and only announced his candidacy on the eve of the convention nearly won the nod.

Nixon won a first ballot nomination, but with only 25 votes to spare. Had the nomination been blocked, Reagan might have stampeded the delegates, many of whom sentimentally favored Reagan but were pledged to Nixon on the first ballot.

AMEN. KEEP SPREADING THE WORD. Everone e-mail your contacts and “share” Newt stories on your Facebook...

Everyone has friends or family who are conservative but really do not follow politics as we do.

It is our DUTY to get off our assets and make sure they know. It really is that simple. It is simply a question of whether we really care enough about the fate of our nation - or whether we would prefer to play a role as habitual victims.

Fox has set the tone and much of the “conservative” media follow. They are acting as though the election is OVER. We need to rally bring them the humiliation and shame they deserve by defeating this ignoble deceiver by a massive freaking LANDSLIDE in the upcoming elections that the SOB Fox lap dogs are pretending doesn’t exist.

These useless scam artists need to be a footnote4 in history.

LET’S DO IT PEOPLE!!!!

Even though he is no longer actively running, Santorum is way ahead of Newt, and is presumably still on the ballots.

No use telling anyone who to vote for, but I think he is the likelier of the two. In any case, DO NOT VOTE FOR ROMNEY. And I think Ron Paul is a distraction, too.

The numbers are NOT with Mitt Posted by noprisoners49 (Diary) Friday, April 13th at 5:30PM EDT 62 Comments Recommenders: garfieldjl (Diary), dialove Mitt Romney must win over 60% of all remaining hard delegates to secure the GOP nomination. Surprised? 19 states still need to be heard from, and of those states 869 hard delegates are available at the state and district level (discounting the 37 total delegates available between Indiana and Arkansas, which have proportionality rules only a democrat could love). State and committee GOP delegates number about 69, which I’m throwing into my calculations as a given for Romney. Nevertheless, Romney still needs 663 delegates to reach that magic 1144 number. Can he do it? Of the 11,280,792 votes cast so far, Romney has accumulated 4,595,908 or only about 41%. Typically, Romney does not garner more than an average of 44% of the vote. Santorum averaged about 25% of the vote. Even if half of Santorum’s supporters vote for Mitt, this still does not give him the necessary 60+ % to secure the GOP nomination. [All data from http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/republican_vote_count.html]. DO NOT WAVE THE WHITE FLAG OF SURRENDER..NEWT IS STILL IN THIS..ARE YOU? NO GUTS, NO GLORY!

I WILL NOT vote for the Mittwit in my state's primary.

The only vote he could EVER get from me is a strategic, last resort, "Anyone But Obama" vote.

I hope anybody but Romney gets the nomination.

Failing that, anybody who sits home insures another 4 years of Obama. And that is probably unsurvivable.

See tagline.

In all seriousness, the primaries have been fought and it is over. Only one person would benefit from this been dragged out to the convention, Barak Obama. Like it or not, that is reality.

I’m supporting Newt, but if the nominee is Romney I’m finished with the GOP. He will install his liberal socialist ilk in all the positions of power in the RNC. If you thought the GOP-e was bad now, wait until he is finished installing his people.

If Romney is nominee, I will probably vote for Virgil Goode. I don’t know much about him yet, but so far he looks good. Here is his website.

The Romney Republican Party is just one more vehicle for socialism.

It's time for conservatives to face that fact and to move on to a principled, practical future.

We have 10 days before the next primary. That’s a lot of time to get the word out and raise money for Newt.

20 primary states remain with over 1,000 delegates. All in all, about 45% of the TOTAL delegates have yet to be voted on.

If Romney loses roughly 55% of those upcoming delegates, he won’t reach 1,144 automatically. Keep in mind Romney has only won over 50% of the popular vote in 3 out of 30 states so far where everyone was on the ballot.

Newt can also challenge the winner-take-all allocation of FL and AZ at the convention which violated rules so Romney can lose a few more that way. And the non-Romneys could engage in behind-the-scenes lobbying with unbound delegates to switch their vote.

I completely agree. I live in Florida and I voted for Newt.

People who live in states that haven’t voted yet should vote for Newt if he’s on the ballot and if he isn’t , then anybody but Romney, even Ron Paul .
