First Poddy, it's not Rick's strategy...it's Newt's. If Rick ever even dreamed he thought of any strategy before Newt, Rick would wake up and apologize.

As for Newt's brokered convention strategy, success is achieved with the fall of the GOP-e---

I'm in, til Newt's out.

Poderetz ...not a culture war bone in his body

[Revolting cat!]

And what or who is ‘Poderetz’? Another uninformed thread on FR.

I am afraid the “looking at cherry blossoms” thing may go on well past August.

Well Newt strategy is to take delegates from Romney which I am for. However, in Illinois, Newt received ZERO delegates. All of March, he has only taken 25 delegates from Romney. He needs to take a ton more than that to have any serious results of Romney not getting to 1140 delegates.

Do you ever back up your BS slamming of Rick or do you just make this stuff up thinking you are cute? Newt's only strategy was the fabled "Southern Strategy" and it was an utter failure. After he crashed and burned, all he could muster as a reason for continuing was to cause trouble at the Convention. What type of strategy is that? Sour Grapes.

Rick is actually winning states, enough to be put up for nomination right now by the GOP convention rules, and has people donating actual money to keep him fighting on. Newt is broke, he didn't win nearly enough states to even be put in to nomination and he just came in a single digit 4th to Paul in IL for crying out loud. If Rick followed that strategy, he would be sitting next to Newt and Paul in the back seat and Romney would have this thing sewed up by now.

Sorry, I apologize for overreacting, but Podoretz is a nobody, but Podhoretz is an otherwise respectable and known conservative thinker. Or neo-conservative, but then how many thinkers do we have who are strictly conservative and not in any way “neo”? I appreciate and respect them all.

[campaignPete R-CT]

even if the roomneyites get their wish and NEWT and RS declare defeat .... if both end it .... ronPaul plods on, as the alternative to MITT collecting even more votes and delegates and attention and building his organization.

somebody got to stay in, if only to keep ronPaul down. get it?

[GulfBreeze]

Thanks keep shilling for Romney there. Newt staying in is what will push Romney over the 50.

None of this even matters.

Etch-A-Sketch is going to be Obama’s GOP opponent.

One question now remains.

Do we want Etch-A Sketch as president or a muslim communist fascist dictator named Obama.

Seems like a simple choice to me.

So now it’s time to poop or flush our country down the toilet for good. I think I’m going to go with poop.

I have a question for Poderetz:

When Rick wins the nomination, will you vote for him?

[december12]

I believe Mitt will go to the convention with an easy first ballot majority, assuming Rick and Newt stay in. Mitt has won 55% of the delegates to date. There's every reason to think he'll do even better going forward. Furthermore, a substantial number of ballots go to Republican Party leaders who are uncommitted. Most of these leaders will support Mitt, because he appears to have the best chance of winning the general election. Yes, it's time for Rick and Newt to drop out.

"I'm in, til Newt's out."

I'm with you!

Man, give it up newt does not have enough wins to appear on the convention floor and he is not going to come close anywhere else.
