[malos]

With all respect I just don’t believe Newt is a conservative anymore.

[Theodore R.]

If only Newt and Santorum had never wasted any time in NH a state they had no chance of winning and just focused on SC. They could have told all their supporters to vote Paul./ Paul would have beaten Romney and humiliated him in his own backyard, and conservatives would be in good shape for SC.

Really sharp hindsight analysis! If there is still a race by VA, all the non-Romney can then vote for Paul, but I feel certain Mittens will roll on through now but lose a few Deep South primaries, such as AL, MS, LA, possibly TX too.

[taildragger]

I personally think that Santorum is stronger, but that’s going to be up to South Carolina, which is going to settle that battle.

The question is this how the senior crowd in FLA thinks..

Will they look at him as the Skinny Catholic kid of Italian decent from PA with the nice family...

Or will they go much deeper into his ideology.

Or refer to my 1st description and "like" him ( he does seem more likeable the more I look into him ) and potentially more so in the fall against Obama?

[mylife]

Perry picked up 3 delegates in Iowa.

[King Moonracer]

LOL, Obama is at 82% of the ‘Rat voters who bothered to vote. Considering how many rats crossed over to pick Mitt, seems kind of hopeful, 18% willing to vote said FUBO!!!!

[Persevero]

PERFECT, thank you,

[Persevero]

PERFECT, thank you,

You’re not considering one factor. What if one of those conservatives is waiting for Romney to win SC and clear the field and then jump in say late Jan/early Feb as the last-ditch candidate to stop Romney where they can face him 1 on 1 and not worry about 4 or 5 other conservatives splitting the vote.

Then endorsing wouldn’t really make sense.

[Persevero]

PERFECT, thank you,

Well....alrighty then....Bye!

[dynachrome]

A suggestion. In long threads like this could you mention the post # or #s that brought on the zot? thanks.

Carry on!

[katiedidit1]

So far in NH ...its 10% for Newt and 10% for Gingrich. Do you have any updates? look, NH is Mitt country and a purple state at best. His super pacs did the number on Newt in Iowa. Perry is doing very bad...

[Praxeologue]

If Newt really wants screw Romney he will drop out and endorse Santorum or Perry.

Win or lose, for all our sakes, Newt needs to remain on the debate platform.

[ez]

And Newt has 5 and Santorum has 7...what’s your point?

[Admin Moderator]

ZOT! You arrogant jerk.
