“”””the David-vs-Goliath nature of challenging the famous and popular Romney,””””
Popular? Where????
Eight is enough......................
One would think the citizens of Utah have had enough of “been there; done that” Romney!
All will be resolved after a chat with the bishop.
Having opposition to Romney divided by 8 ensures Romney winning. One good opposition candidate might have a chance.
This is where the press try to get the non-establishment republicans to attack eachother. Want a chance, just focus on Romney. It makes you look like a patriot that way. Dont attack each other yo!
“Why am I not eight points ahead?”
Eight is too many and will ensure a Romney corronation. Seven of the eight are probably paid by Romney or his backers.
Is that a Romney/insider tactic- to divide the opposition? I’d like to see the strongest conservative stay and the others drop out if they are not getting traction. I respect those who look out for the country’s interests ahead of their own.
Has Romney ever even resided in Utah?
These carpetbagger politicians are despicable for thinking they can just show up during the election cycle and get elected.
Of course, part of the problem is the voters who vote them in.
Long term, this is a way of diminishing the influence of state boundaries.
That alone means Romney will win. Splitting the vote.
They need to huddle and agree on the most likely to win — the way the Democrats do. Vote splitting is a conservative curse.
Eight Republicans just mean they, due their egos and that their is eight of them, they’ll simply insure Romney wins the primary, even if he does not get a majority.
Why do Conservatives in so many states form a circle, shoot themselves and insure the RINO wins the primary?? Why in the hell can’t they get together, form a team, pick the best one and all get behind that one??? No. They shoot it out in a circle of suicide that leaves the RINO standing.
Hopefully they will be smart enough to get together well before the primary, and decide which one of them has the best chance of winning, and all throw their support behind that ONE.
But then they are republicans, so I doubt that they will be that smart. And the RNC and the Republican Machine will be against ‘anyone not Romney’ so they can’t expect national help.
Same technique used to coronate Jeb! for the presidential primary. Alas there is no Trump in Utah. Romney has this one tied up. The sheep have spoken.
Real smart. /s
Split the “anyone but Romney” vote 8 way and Mittens will come up the winner.
PLEASE UTAH! Please elect somebody other than Willard.
Taking out this Deep State Socialist who worked to elect both Zero AND the Butcheress of Benghazi is absolutely paramount.
Wrong! If there are that many challengers, then several of them are in it to take support away from the others, thus giving Romney the win. It’s deep state skullduggery.
Eight is going to crowd the field enough that they won’t be able to mount an effective front against the establishment. Cutting their own throat. If they could stand behind 2 challengers they’d have a chance.
