Each election cycle we repeat the same mistakes. Of course Iowa is important, why would so much money be going there. We are just silly enough to read something into Iowa which affects N.H. which in turn makes a difference in South Carolina. I will not vote for Mitt, he is no better than Obama. There I said it.
Just heard that Santorum will skip NH and NV if he does well and go straight to SC.
Well, of course, means better than 4%.
This means he will essentially cede Liberal states to Romney and work diligently to split Conservative votes in states where Romney would otherwise not have a chance to succeed.
The media (including CNN) want Romney, and many Freepers will happily help.
You are right to say we never learn, because WE NEVER LEARN. As LONG AS I HAVE BEEN ALIVE, Conservatives have been doing this - over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again and again and again and again and again and again.
And the Establishment ALWAYS get their nominee (except in Reagan’s case, the one time we didn’t have five-seven Conservatives running until every last vote was counted in every state). I don’t believe for one second Romney is doubling Gingrich in Iowa, based on their current campaigning, nor do I believe Santorum is going to pull of a miracle win.
NRO, Rove, Fox News, et al have been desperately trying to push Gingrich voters toward Santorum. We all know why.
Mark my words, Conservatives are going to do it again. IT WILL NEVER END, NEVER. WE WILL NEVER LEARN!!!!!!!!!!!!
