The Newt Fan Group will be thrilled with this. I could stomach that if Newt would win Ohio, but since he has zero chance and will finish fourth place. I can not imagine anybody thinking this is great news.
Earth to Newt: What are you doing besides handing the nomination to Willard on a silver platter, my friend??
All Latest Polls
Monday, March 05
Ohio Republican Presidential Primary Quinnipiac Romney 34, Santorum 31, Gingrich 15
Ohio Republican Presidential Primary PPP (D) Romney 37, Santorum 36, Gingrich 15
Ohio Republican Presidential Primary Rasmussen Reports Romney 31, Santorum 32, Gingrich 13
Polls be damned, I’m voting for Newt tomorrow!
So Santorum has a 59% total favorability rating and Romney is 6% lower at a total faborability of 53% and somehow Mitt manages to be 3% points ahead with republican voters? Can someone make sense of this for me? I was never stellar in math, but even my poor math skills tell me something is not adding up here.
What is he doing? He’s helping make sure this goes all the way to the convention, that’s what. Which is what we should all want, because with the possible exception of Paul, none of these guys cut it.
If Romney’s wife drives two Cadillacs, is that wrong? Is that a moral offense?
The MSM is flexing its muscles
The Republican Establishment pick will be the Nominee, and the millions spent on the Primaries will assure we have another Obama (either in re-Election, or in his clone, Romney-the-RINO).
Bend over, America......you're gonna get Fluked in November.
Gingrich - Wom 14%
Romney - Wom 38%
Santorum - Wom 29%
If Willard wins Ohio tomorrow with Newt’s help, Willard the flaming liberal is extremely likely and sadly the Republican nominee.
And I then vote third party for the first time in my lifetime in November - - - because Willard the architect of ObamneyCARE, PRO-$50 abortioner, and TARP bailouts lover will never receive my vote. And Obama is a socialist only very slightly to the left of the Massachusetts liberal.
This probably will get me flamed but I’m going to say it anyway. Unfortunately Newt and Rick are done. If they both drop out and endorse Rick Perry we could have the one on one battle with the establishment we’ve all been wanting. I know, sounds crazy but I’ll support anything that will stop the Romney express.
Well what could be the upside to 4 more years of Obama? The end of the Republican party? Maybe that’s it. At least we’ll have clarity, and realize there is no opposition to ever expanding government.
Did Romney say in the last few days that he supported the Individual Mandate?
Heard a reference to it by Joe on Morning Joe this AM, but I need to have that statement confirmed.
Thanks.
If I read Romney right, he argues in terms of the 10th amendment.
Powers not granted to the federal government nor prohibited to the States by the Constitution are reserved to the States or the people.
This includes individual mandates which Romney insists is CONSTITUTIONAL as long as it is done AT THE STATE and NOT at the Federal level.
Therefore, based on Romney’s argument, The HUGE difference between the health care bills is that Romneycare is constitutional (allowed by the 10th amendment) and Obamacare is not (NOT allowed by the 10th amendment).
Not defending Romney at all, but since you asked, I am just giving a summary of HIS argument.
BTW, the above does not address the ECONOMICS of the issue. even at the state level, the individual mandate DID NOTHING to solve Massachusetts ballooning healthcare costs. But that is another issue altogether.
I know this will put the Santorum people on suicide watch, but your boys 15 minutes of fame are over. Whether he did it knowingly, or was too stupid to know he was being used remains to be seen. All he has done is run interference for Mitt for the last month. All you idiots bought the cooked poll numbers the media fed you and hook, line and sinker effectively handing Romney the nomination. I hope Rick’s check from Romney’s SuperPac check doesn’t bounce.
On the air in Ohio: Romney has better ads. I can see why he continues to improve in the polls.
Thanks!
What was the source that you read?
My concern is that now that so many “team-players” have joined his RINO train, he feels comfortable enough to start trying to “appeal” to the Liberals. (”Severe” Conservatism has really been a burden that Romney will glad to be shed of, ASAP.)
So I need to get a direct quote before I can “Flame and Blame” the Romney choo-choo!
