We need those votes in SC to stop Romney.
IA + NH + SC + FL = Romney nomination and Romney/Obama ticket.
It is up to South Carolina and Florida...
Well, sorry, you can’t have the Perry votes.
It’s up to your favorites to campaign and earn their own votes.
It’s becoming kinda obvious that neither Newt nor Santorum are sending a tingle up anyone’s leg.
Maybe they should both drop out and support a man who would actually be attractive to voters if they got to know him and has no downside.
No, no, no. These states have reduced delegates due to early voting penalties, so that combined they make up about 5% of the total (and they are NOT winner take all. A SuperTuesday state like Tennessee has MORE delegates than FLORIDA. Georgia has more than Florida, Iowa and New Hampshire combined. The structure has changed also because there is more proportional voting in many of the states.
I am going to caucus for the RNC Tampa Convention here in Colorado on Feb 7th for a Triple Option Delegate slot, a Gingrich/Santorum/Brokered delegate. I will be willing to bargain between these 3 outcomes depending on relative strength that emerges.
