how is staying exactly where you have been in the polls for the last year ... “gaining steam”

Romney isn’t gaining steam.

Everyone else is just faltering, and splitting up the remaining votes among to many.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE God have Santroum and Bachmann realize on Tuesday that they need to drop out for the good of the conservative cause.

Romney can’t win in a two way race, period. We have just got to narrow things down a bit and Romney will be toast.

Most of us don’t want this to happen, but if it does, whaddyathink? Obama, Romney, or no vote? IMO, a no vote from us is a vote for Obama. Another four years of Obama IMO is a worst-case scenario.

If Romney wins this nomination it will mean the beginning of the end of this country as we know it. We need a fired up, motivated base in November and he’s not going to provide it. On the contrary he’s going to smother it.

I saw that guy Doug Schoen on Fox was talking about a 3rd party American Solutions ticket. If Romney ends up taking the nomination, I wonder if Newt could get on this ticket. I think they wanted a Democrat and Republican to share the ticket, but better to have Newt and a moderate Democrat as the V.P. vs. Romney at the top. Maybe they could get Trump as the V.P. Romney as the nominee is unacceptable and an alternative option needs to be found if the media pushes him through.

I don’t think Romney winning IA and NH makes him a lock, but if other conservatives don’t drop out before SC and FL I worry that Newt won’t break out of this vote-splitting pattern. Because of the proportional delegation, he could continue getting delegates and building his way up there, but I’m afraid is donations will drop off and make that impossible if the media tries to sell Romney as the ultimate winner just because of a close shave win around 20% in IA.

It is either Santorum or Romney.
Vote for anybody else is a vote for Romney.

Well, at least that open amnesty activist global warming scam artist is finished. Good riddance. Stopping amnesty is absolutely critical.

Since the population of Iowa and New Hampshire is less than the population of metro Atlanta Georgia, and neither Iowa or new Hampshire are considered GOP strongholds why is so much emphasis put on a corn growing state or new England suburb of Massachusetts?

Our side, mostly in this case Iowans, did it for him.

Newt was almost at 40-50% territory, but the “thinkers” thought they still had time to monkey around to get a “better” candidate” (like December was the ideal time to do that), not to mention the combined efforts of Bachmann and Ron Paul to ensure that no one endangered their beloved Romney, because they sure as hell didn’t do themselves any favors if that’s what their original aim was.

I still think Newt can turn it around in SC, but heaven help us if the brain trust that FUBAR’d Iowa still haven’t managed to rub two brain cells together by then.

Wait until Mittens get the Axelrod treatment. Then he’ll wish he never ran!

Weirdos, moderates and liberals are simply mobilizing behind Willard in Iowa and New Hampshire.

But no worry, folks. Conservatives will almost certainly find their guy by South Carolina.

Look, the SC winner will be our nominee as it’s been since 1980. The SC victor (NEWT) takes Florida and the entire SOUTH. Conservative Texas and the conservative portions of the MIDWEST fall in line, too. (That is what happens when we DON’T divide the Conservative/Tea party vote. It’s not rocket science as Rocket Scientist Cain would say. Speaking of my man Cain, why isn’t he endorsing Newt now? Or is he just waiting till SC????

OR we are so doooooooooooomed in 2012 and will just have to immediately regroup for the 2014 and and 2016 elections.

I just hope anyone voting for Romney because of electability takes into account a possible 3rd party revolt by conservatives or Tea Party people. If that happens, his electability will be even more of a myth than it is now.

Ignore it. This is the MSM’s lame attempt, combined with the GOP Establishment (see Noonan’s barf alert column this morning), to say it’s all over, demoralize conservatives, and annoint Romney. No sale.

IDIOTS all. Of course we don't always have to believe everything that is printed, and I DON'T.

What's the differance between this report and the KIMJONGPUKE's funeral mourners? Iowians seem to GLADLY participate without having to think for themselves, go along with the crowd sort.

This is what a trillion dollars of negative ads will get for you. Come on down to GA Mitt and see how many votes you get. And don’t count on SC and Fl to fall for it either.
