Four down, forty-six to go!
First, I would like to Congratulate Mitt Romney! No, really! Between he and his Super PAC, Team Romney dumped over 25 million dollars into Florida since the beginning of the campaign which, along with the diabolical coordination with formerly credible GOP media personalities in a massive Establishment smear campaign, resulted in Mitt Romney getting less than 200,000 votes more than he got four years ago!
The result was a plurality win in a four-person primary where only two candidates even attempted to win the state. At least as impressive a performance as winning a basketball game against a team that only fielded four players!
But he'd better get busy again! At his current return of about one delegate per $500,000 in combined spending, he's going to need nearly $600,000,000 to buy the necessary support to be the GOP nominee in August!
On a bright note, my Freeper Friends, it gets better from here. You see, Mitt was expected to take places like NH and FL, places where it is hard to fight an Establishment favorite. But his troubles are only beginning: as seen in the polls posted in the last few days, he trails miserably in the South - states with disproportionately large numbers of delegates with many winner-takes-all Primaries. He is also second or third in most polls of key midwestern states, like Missouri, Ohio, and Minnesota. To top that off, he is at BEST in a statistical tie with Newt in national polls, despite his massive money advantage!
Georgia alone has nearly 80 delegates, a lot more than Florida, and Newt will clean house there. Don't even get me started on the sweetest plum, Texas, where Newt is a favorite and our friend Captain Perry is circling the wagons for Gingrich! Texas has 155 delegates, NC 55 delegates, Ohio 66 delegates, Alaska 50 delegates, and they are all Newt country right now!!

As you see above, the longer the campaign, the more it favors Newt Gingrich! Mitt may win some states here early, but he is breaking the bank to do so. And if he's struggling this hard to win states he should win easily, image what it's going to be like for him when he faces more South Carolina type places in the future!
To arms! To arms! Keep up the good fight, keep fighting! We WILL win this thing in the end because the state delegate count favors us GREATLY as the campaign goes on! Mitt can't win in the South, he struggles mightily in the midwest, and he won't win in the corn belt.
The fight has only just begun! Mitt has broken the bank, and has only a small lead to show for it in delegates. We are in good position, and we will prevail in August and then November!!!!!!!
Yippeee and add about 46 for Okla, not sure of the exact without going back to check.
Just for you dear
:)
Zot!
Midway. Yeah, I like that imagery.
Cool. Gotted zotted by someone who hasn’t even been on the board as long as I have. This was quite an intelligent place back when I joined. Sad.
Romney attacked Newt for his firm taking money advising Fannie and Freddie - a perfectly legal act of Capitalism. He demanded Newt give the money back. Mitt did this while he himself was actually making MORE money than Newt off of Freddie and Fannie.
It was only when people like Newt started to question Mitt’s saddling the taxpayers with broken pensions, unemployment checks, and bailouts that his campaign came-up with the idea that questioning someone’s private business practices was “anti-Captilism.” Mitt made more from Fannie and Freddie than Newt, and Mitt left WE THE TAXPAYER with the bill from his corporate pillaging practices. It’s not like he just took private sector money and ran - the TAXPAYER paid dearly for what he did, and he pocketed OUR money.
Mitt started the anti-Capitalist rants, not Newt. I’ve never heard Mitt apologize for saying Newt should pay back money he earned legally as a consultant.
Besides, a quick search will find videos of Mitt given anti-everything-Conservative rants, from Life Issues, to Gun Rights, and so on. Just search, you’ll see. Of course, we’re on Mitt Romney 7.0 these days.......
Can I just say somthing, and maybe you can figure it out, because I can’t... I probably converted 300 people over to Newt in Florida leading up to today... they were mostly young, military, parents and seniors... not real young college, but some postgrad types... even a few paultards; not one of them, had any issue with newt’s anticapital bain stuff... and frankly, neither did I... there are excesses in Capitalism that are really ugly and greedy... that doesn’t make all of it bad, or that the mealy parts shouldn’t be spoken about.
I was so surprised to find out how capitalism is the holy grail of conservatism, and no one shall speak ill of it at all. I understand from listening to Mark Levin, how it is the mainstay of liberty, but no man and no earthly instutution is perfect, and actually a lot of people reacted positively to Newt taking on Romney’s ugly business dealings, and then were more open to listening to him otherwise... I mean some dems, also... so don’t know what’s up with that..
Go do some research on the White Horse Prophecy from Smith the founder of Mormonism and then see what you think. Both Mitt and Beck buy into that.
It will come up again, and no we are not bigots for despising Satan the father of lies, we a truthtellers and the truth is LDS are a cult, and not Christians. That is a fact.
I think I read that Santorum is not on the ballot for Tennessee. If correct, maybe that will help.
I dont know about you personally RomneyBot
But your Mormon atheist bishop and high priest Williard Mitt Romney is a prejudiced, anti-Christian racist bigot...
I don’t consider lobbying capitalism. If the government were what it should be lobbying wouldn’t pay a nickle. Try again. And taxpayers pay for all kinds of stuff we shouldn’t be paying for. That it is Congress fault.
and I am sure he didn’t get them made in a right-to-work state...
Ive seen a copy of the ballot
hes on there
and surprise surprise
the same people who were delegates for McCain last time are shilling for Romney this time...
Newt needs to win a simple majority, 1144, of the 2286 delegates. TX, NC, OH, AK, and GA constitutes 406. He took IA with 4 and SC with 23 for a total of 27. That makes for 433 he’ll have for all of those states which is about 38% of the total delegates needed to win.
How many other states does he have a good chance of winning at this point so far?
What makes you say ROmney is anti christian?
so don’t know what’s up with that..
Well I do. Its called populism and it turns my stomach.
Just made another donation to Newt’s campaign.
Newt 2012!
Seeing how well Newt looked, made me feel better.
Actually I didnt say it
I typed it...
Maybe you dont know how your Mom’s computer works...
Here it is again...
I’ll type RRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAALLL SSSSSLLLLLOOOOOWWW
so you can read it by the time your Willie Mitty gets slaughtered in Tennessee stsrting Feb 15
Ya ready ???
Typing ready or not...
your Mormon atheist bishop and high priest Williard Mitt Romney is a prejudiced, anti-Christian racist bigot...
