If Newt ends his campaign, Santorum will be the nominee. I base this on the belief that most Newt voters go for Santorum.

I think Santorum is better than Romney...not by much, but Romney is a Mass. progressive. Santorum is at least a moderate conservative with a blue collar background.

Right now Santorum is leading big in Michigan....Romney's home state. If Romney loses in Michigan, he likely is done.

Santorum’s Turn

pic_giant_021312_A.jpg

Rick Santorum is joined by his family at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., February 10, 2012.

At the moment Rick Santorum appears to be overtaking Newt Gingrich as the principal challenger to Mitt Romney. Santorum has won more contests than Gingrich (who has won only one),has more delegates, and leads him in the polls. In at least one poll, he also leads Romney. It isn’t yet a Romney–Santorum contest, but it could be headed that way.
We hope so. Gingrich’s verbal and intellectual talents should make him a resource for any future Republican president. But it would be a grave mistake for the party to make someone with such poor judgment and persistent unpopularity its presidential nominee. It is not clear whether Gingrich remains in the race because he still believes he could become president next year or because he wants to avenge his wounded pride: an ambiguity that suggests the problem with him as a leader. When he led Santorum in the polls, he urged the Pennsylvanian to leave the race. On his own arguments the proper course for him now is to endorse Santorum and exit.

Santorum has been conducting himself rather impressively in his moments of triumph and avoiding characteristic temptations. He is doing his best to keep the press from dismissing him as merely a “social-issues candidate.” His recent remark that losing his Senate seat in 2006 taught him the importance of humility suggests an appealing self-awareness. And he has rightly identified the declining stability of middle-class families as a threat to the American experiment, even if his proposed solutions are poorly designed. But sensible policies, important as they are, are not the immediate challenge for his candidacy. Proving he can run a national campaign is.
Romney remains the undramatic figure at the center of the primaries’ drama. Lack of enthusiasm for him has set it all in motion. Romney is trying to win the nomination by pulverizing his rivals. His hope is that enthusiasm will follow when he takes on Obama in the summer and fall. But his attacks on Santorum have been lame, perhaps because they are patently insincere. (Does anyone believe that Romney truly thinks poorly of Santorum’s votes to raise the debt ceiling?)

only way Noot quits before Super Tuesday is if his money dries up.
its 132 Romney to 105 Noot/Rick now. not convinced that = done just over Michigan.
Super Tuesday then yeah.

if the GOP simply focuses on BOs record of failure anyone can win it.
 
The problem is, if Santorum is the nominee, the party is done already for 2012.
 

Santorum is more or less running on social issues -- if the 2012 campaign is about social issues -- we lose. The election has to be about the economy, or we really won't stand a chance -- because, if the election is about social issues, then it pretty well means the economy is recovering -- in which case what really swings and drives turnout among Independents and even R's?

I disagree. In every election, the scummy liberal media will do all they can to portray the R candidate as a religious zealot. So, it does not matter whether the candidate is Mitt or Rick. To think Rick is going to push social issues over the economy and do it any more strongly than Mitt, is wrong.

Do not forget what happened less than two years ago. The American people spoke clearly when they overwhelmingly voted against the Commie Party and BO. It was an historical rebuke of the Commies and BO. Nothing has changed since then. The Ds are still operating as they did before the mid-terms. They, like most leftists, refuse to learn from history or accept the people's verdict.

I think it does not matter who the R candidate is. He will win in a landslide because a majority of voting Americans do not want F-ing Socialism.

The economy is not improving and could very likely get much worse if a few things happen, such as Europe going down, gas prices raising to $5 per gallon, or BO doing his usual Marxist act.

I have to disagree Gip, the donkey party is (and I would not have thought it was possible til Debbie W-S was made DNC chair) even more craven than before. much as it was quipped regarding that Nikki person's performance at the Grammy show that it made Gaga look very very normal, Debbie is making Timmy Kaine appear almost normal.

Well okay. The Commies have gotten worse since the mid-terms. I can agree with that and it will not serve them well in November.

Should i give up on Newt? Voters just dont agree with his hardline tough politics like i do.

hes smart (in reality as opposed to the hype of a certain telepromptor reader)
hes willing to take the hard line
hes intimately familiar with government

trouble is that makes him unlikable to some.

Super Tuesday will settle it one way or another. I'd keep the faith till then and see where things stand.
