Obama could not have asked for more! A chaotic GOP Convention, backstabbing, blood on the floor, a media frenzy and feed-fest, and with no more than 60-70 days to election a lack of a campaign strategy, schedules, pick of a VP etc. Wow! Obama's dream come true.

You know, I’ve been thinking about this scenario . . . and I’m starting to think it’s not a bad thing, no matter *who* takes it (though Romney is looooooooowwww on my list, he is at least marginally better than Barry). Think about a contested convention: The MSM will be focused on this for days on end. They will not be able to resist it, to discuss GOP talking points, etc. — with at least the possible result that even the most lackadaisical GOP voter will be energized by all that is going on. We need a massive turnout in November. Maybe nonstop discussion of our convention by the MSM will help achieve that for us.

Or we can look at it another way:

Obama isn’t sure who he is running against yet, so he can’t concentrate his attacks on one person. This doesn’t help Obama in the least.

Anyone having a tissy fit wanting Newt to drop out is wanting Romney to win. There is no other explanation.

If reports about Romney’s father not being a US citizen are true, then creating chaos at the RNC should be very easy.

The GOPe basically wants a NPR style election with soft tones and nice complient sheeple “voting” for their chosen Kind Willard.
The GOP should change its name to the GORP (Gelted Old Rino Party)
Back a fighter you...[expletives deleted]
With all due respect to Mr Levin I can not bring myself to vote for Willack Oromney.
Like I said before, America can crash and burn before that will happen.

Another bogus Costa article taking a Friday news dump on the GOP...built around one mostly innocuous thinking-out-loud quote from K Streeter (well, his lobbying firm is actually on F Street) Walker, who isn’t even on the campaign trail with Newt...

Not necessarily. What is Obama’s target right now? Against whom does he take aim? Mitt? Rick? Newt? He doesn’t have a target for precisely this reason. This is a good thing, not a bad thing, and my prayers are with Newt.

I really don’t see this happening. Gingrich knows he can’t win. His moneyman Addelson was behind Newt but he knows Newt isn’t going to win. He has kept funding Newt because Romney is his second choice. Once Santorum can no longer win, Addelson and Santorum’s money guys will stop the funding. I doubt they are going to blow money on people that can’t win and won’t be chosen in a brokered convention.

Newt and Rick can stay in and sit on their butts using their own money until the convention, but once people know they are through, Romney will sail to the nomination.

I would figure the GOP has already made plans in case Romney is short a few delegates.

All the bickering is now a waste of time. The toothpaste has left the tube.

Only a POS of the highest order would be following that path.

The guy who will be a distant third in delegates is not gonna be the nominee.
