...but it appears Gingrich may be dropping out of the race next week, if so I believe Rick Santorum's chances to flush Romney out of the lead may greatly improve. :thumbsup:
Mitt Happens...

The big concern for me is "Will Gingrich drop out before it's too late?" if not my hope is that enough voters will see that he should have dropped out and has no chance so won't throw away their votes on him which only end up giving Mitt an undeserved advantage. -

I think it highly likely that Santorum could win a vast majority of the remaining states in a two man race.
DON'T SAY THAT!!!
Excuse me?! Ahh, ....RICK SANTORUM...late January...Don't blink, you might miss the Mitt looking over his shoulder. -
I still hope Santorum wins the nomination, but short of that, the Republicans deserve exactly what they get. They did not gain one bit of smarts from four years ago. -

This person will not vote for Romney. I'm voting Santorum in the primary and hoping I don't have to choose bettween Romney or four more years of attacks on personal liberty.

The sound of inevitability is moving this race. Who cares, I'm doing something else for the next five years. Wake me when its over. -

Perry had a shot, if he had been credible but we all saw what happened. If Bloomberg or Christie had gotten in the race it would have been a different story. However the RNC field never expanded beyond the seven dwarfs that we had after Labor Day.
President Obama has been sailing to a victory since then. And he knows it too. -

Are you saying you believe the polls?
I remember well hearing those same kinds of sounds about Reagan. ;) -

I go to the polls tomorrow. We shall see, but voting for Romney is the same as voting for Obama.

In Romney's home state of Michigan, Romney only carried one county by greater than 50% of the vote, affluent Oakland county, where Mittens grew up. Mittens also won Wayne county (home of Detroit), the county where he was born, by 10,000 votes. Take away these two counties and Santorum would have won Michigan.
If Gingrich had dropped out prior to Super Tuesday, the only states that Romney would have won that night would have been Vermont, Massachusetts, and Virginia (Santorum was not on the ballot.) In Virginia, 40.5% of voters went with Ron Paul, essentially saying they'd rather not vote for Romney, as Paul's primary votes are typically in 10% to 15% of the vote.
Romney appeals to urban voters, many of whom are moderates. This is the same demographic that Obama already has sewn up. Romney will lose to Obama because they share a lot of the same voting base. What the country needs is a real choice, a real contrast in candidates. Santorum is definitely a higher contrast candidate to Obama than Romney would present. -
I love the way things are shaping up in Mississippi and Alabama: Rick, Newt, then Mitt in last place (I don't count Paul anymore :D) ...couldn't ask for more than it to finish this way!!! Except Newt may be encouraged to stay in with strong second finishes. :( When I heard record numbers were coming out to vote I suspected this might be a sign that people are coming out to stop Mitt from happening. :smilewinkgrin:
