There is just no way enough people will vote for either Michele or Rick.

I agree with that where Michele is concerned but let a handsome, young, fresh Conservative face with intelligence (Rick Santorum) show up out of the blue, America will be “wowed”; closely to the way they were by John Kennedy.

It would be great if Cain would endorse Rick and ask his supporters to support him. But, I’m 95 percent sure he will endorse Newt.

Hopefully Cain support will migrate to her
______________________________________________________________

I guarantee you that Cain will endorse Newt and ask his supporters to go with Newt. Michele was quick to “indirectly” condemn Herman when the first allegations against him were made public. She also helped take-out Pawlenty, dissed Perry and Newt wasn’t off the platform at the last Debate when her staff was texting, Tweeting and sending Facebook messages saying Newt favored Amnesty. She is NOT well liked by her colleagues. She has the chance of that proverbial snowball in hell of getting Herman’s supporters.

I’d love to see Herman’s supporters get behind Rick Santorum.

I think Santorum will be the “big surprise” coming out of Iowa this year. He might not win, but he’ll be in the top 3.

Here’s another poll on the GOP race that just got started, so the numbers are very skewed right now. Everyone can forward it around to anyone planning on voting in the Republican GOP primary or caucus, in an attempt to get a larger and more representative voting base:

2008 all over again, this time Romney has taken the place of McCain. I LOATHE McCain but I ended up voting for him in November because to not vote would have been a vote for Obama. Haven't we learned anything in four years?

Vote for your favorite in the primaries and then vote for what is left in November. We cannot afford to have millions of people sitting on the sidelines this time. Don't think that you can drop out of the game because you can't. There is no way to drop out of living in the USA. If Obama is reelected he will bring even more pain to the American people.

No you would be writing in *Obama*. Please, let’s get real. Every write in vote or skipped vote is a vote for Obama.

Good to see many here have the same common sense as Levin!

Bachmann picked up a pretty hefty endorsement from Phyllis Schlafly today.

Did I hear once that California was going away from the winner take all delegate system to representational delegates? If they go the representational way, you might have a voice.

Can't say as I care for Schlafly's opinion of Palin, but her endorsement should help Michele.

Isn't funny how a core group of freepers is staying with the principled conservatives, while others are floating toward the middle-left? Hmmm...

When I aligned myself with the tea party I did so because I saw it as a means of bringing about true pro constitutional change.

Those who hold allegiance to the party, remind me of the Tories of the American revolution. My allegiance is to my God and to my country and I can't save America by voting for the lesser of two evils.

Bachmann got a big boost after the Iowa straw poll but then Perry soon came on the scene and stepped on her toes. People went for Perry because he was believed to be the conservative savior who had that in charge presidential quality and was a governor of a major state. Naturally people would go for a governor rather than a representative but Perry then shot himself in the foot. He spoiled it for Bachmann and then he spoiled it for himself. It was too bad for Bachmann because she is much more conservative than Perry.

Sadly Ron Paul is the one who hurts Bachmann the most and helps the front running RINOs the most but the Paul supporters refuse to see it.

I’m just not sure he isn’t quietly supported by the party for that reason alone.

Freeing my mind from the shackles of the GOP and big (R) in 2006 is one of the best things I’ve ever done.

Agreed. The candidates I support are exclusively republican but that doesn’t equal support of the Grand Old Plantation.

If Obama is reelected he will bring even more pain to the American people.

This is where it gets a little bit tricky. The biggest difference between Romney (at least according to Romney) between himself and Obama, is competence.

The question, do you want a competant socialist or an incompetant one ?

Then, to top it off, what happens to the GOP if Romney wins ? He could wind up dismantling conservatism, something that Obama can not do, by virtue of not being the leader of the GOP. Romney will appoint his own guy as head of the RNC. He can get the legislation he wants passed, passed by the GOP. If Obama wants tax hikes, the GOP will stop him, or try to stop him, if Romney wants tax hikes, he's going to get them, by getting most of the GOP to support them (or they risk losing party funding and support).

If the country is going to go down the tubes, do you want a republican leading the way, or a democrat ? I'm not so sure, a President Romney is the best option in that type of situation. Keep in mind, its not like at least we would get conservative judges, Romney has a record of also appointing liberal judges too, and with Romneys record as a party leader being what it is, you could see the GOP be harmed more by Romney as president, then with Obama as President........Its not that cut and dry.
