Countdown to attacks on Santorum by those who supposedly want Romney to lose in 3-2-1...
So my Texas might yet still have an impact on this election?! Cool!
PING!
And the people in charge of choosng the calculation method are the people who want Mitt. We are essentially stealing the election from ourselves so that Obama can beat us.
The three points the writer brings up are all speculation.
For Florida/Arizona, the punishment of less delegates has already been enforced. The rule was if you were WTA, you couldnt schedule before a certain date. But the punishment for breaking the rule is to lose delegates, not to force the states into proportional delegates.
For Washington, if Santorum and Paul work together, it may raise Santorum’s numbers, but wont really affect Romney’s (on a side note, where are the Santorum people complaining about trying to change delegates they way everyone was complaining about Paul in Mn/Mo/Me)
For the unbound, what makes the writer think a majority will go to Santorum? They might, but it is all speculation on that. The same way as counting Ia, Mn, Mo delegates was speculation early on.
I think the establishment lives in fear that the Santorum candidacy may get a gasp of air in PA and come roaring back in May. Once again I heard in Wisconsin voters saying that they preferred Santorum, but were voting Romney because they were buying the establishment’s argument that this had to end to beat Obama. I remember hearing the strategic voting argument from some voters in FL earlier. Then this thing got away from the establishment when Santorum pulled the hat trick in the midwest, and voters had a momentary inkling that a more conservative candidate was just as viable against Obama. That’s why they need Santorum to quit on his own. This is to unstable and dangerous. I had a Romney supporter call for a donation yesterday and ask for $400 out of the box. Wow, Mitt thinks I make $10k bets.
I'm in Texas visiting now....IT'S A GREAT STATE!!!....and Lord Willing, Texas will put Santorum over the top
PRESS ON SANTORUM!
No it's not. They need approval from the RNC to do so, and the RNC has already said they won't issue a waiver.
Anyone else remember Newt saying that he was going to “talk” to Santorum right after Mitt’s nasty ads against Newt way back in the beginning of this process?
My hope is that Newt said that both should stay in and whomever is in the front at the end of the day gets all the delegates. That way none of the people would vote for Mitt instead of either of them.
Obama MUST be defeated. On the issues, he hasn't got a leg to stand on. His only hope is our dissension.
If the nomination goes to a brokered convention two things are sure, THREE THINGS are sure (Thanks you Spanish Inquisition!):
1) The results will be unpredictable as the GOP establishment will work to assure a RINO gets nominated behind the scene, regardless.
2) The time to attack Obama will be reduced to two months
3) A convention nominee which have their qualifications questioned.
At this point, it looks grim for a anti-Romney candidate DESPITE the fact that most Republicans REFUSE to give Romney 50% or more.
If Romney get nominated, he will have a hard time fighting Obama due to Bain capitol, his “poor people” comments, his liberal record and the Mormonism thing.
If he IS elected, he will still be light years ahead of Obama - at least he's not a Marxist Muslim foreign traitor.
But he is RINO clear through and will disappoint us is many ways.
As the Indian Chief in Last of the Mohegans said “What are the Hurons to do??”
Plus, the Ron Paul delegates who are saying they would support Romney over Santurom, they don’t even belong in the Republican Party. Throw them all out, the moderates, the libertarians, ideological purity is more important than stopping Barack Obama from being re-elected.
“The race is almost even if you account for a Rick Santorum win in Texas under a Winner Take All system.. “
Sweet!
btw, I constantly check The Right Scoop, as they have information/stories that you don’t hear anywhere else, and they present the information in an easy-to-comprehend and entertaining way.
From the Opening Post:
“the calendar gets much more friendly for Rick Santorum in May. North Carolina, Indiana, West Virginia, Nebraska, Oregon, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Texas might lead to Santorum winning roughly 7 out of 8 states in May, and heading into the June 5th primaries with a freight train of momentum.”
