Perry was my choice and he could have beaten Obama. But unfortunately those early mis-steps have done him in. (same as what happened to Palin) Not just for this election cycle, but forever on a national stage. He can probably be a senator or cabinet official or something.
Newt did great in the debates. Stayed positive and only attacked Obama (and the media). Quick on his feet, and great grasp of the facts and very intellectual. But his past has hurt him and would in a general election. And he blew it on Bain Capital big time. Along with going negative (I know Romney started it). Now he has helped Mitt in the general election by getting the Bain Capital issue out there now. Has a weak campaign organization (ie Virginia Primary). Newt cannot beat Obama in the general. But I would love to see him debate Obama. He’s smoke Obama. But the debates usually don’t mean much anymore.
Santorum - would make a very good president. But I just don’t see him having the organization to win the primary. It takes a billion dollars, a top notch staff, and the backing of the establish (yes it does) to win. Obama escalated the presidential race to unbelievable levels in 2008. I just don’t see Santorum making it through 50 states in the primary. If he could win the nomination, he might beat Obama after getting the RNC and the establishment behind him.
I like about 50% of what Paul stands for. But the other 50% is what makes him not only unelectable, but toxic. Lets hope he doesnt go 3rd party, or it will absolutely guarantee a 2nd Obama term.
So in the end, Mitt will get the nomination. He may not be my candidate or your candidate. But in the end, our choices are going to be Obama or Romney. Regardless of what we want in a candidate, you can only choose between what is available. So you either vote for Romney or vote for Obama (either by voting for him, or not voting at all). And that is all of our rights.
But the stakes are too great for our country the next 4 years. Mitt may not be the most conservative out there, but he is 100 times better than Obama.
All the SC polls have Romney ahead. Anywhere from 2-21 points. It will be close I believe. Even if Newt wins, it will only keep him in the game another week or two. Unless he can string together 3-4 back to back wins.
LOL! Perfect!
I have been polled before, and when I answered a question the way they didn’t expect, my poll was cut short. How did I know I answered “incorrectly”? First, they told me the poll would last from 3 to 5 minutes of my time, and the poll ended in less than 30 seconds; second, after my poll-ending answer, there was long pause and a curt “thank you for your time”. Click.
I have been skeptical of polls since then.
He's a LIAR on every major issue that is important to conservatives!
