Will Santorum and Gingrich Listen?

[Hoovie]

Ok JD, Romney was/is not my choice, but how possibly would one campaign against him in the fall if the choice is Romney vs Obama?

Absolutely not a question.

Newt has the heart of a warrior, though he appears very tired, I still would not be disappoint if he were to win the nomination.

I think the lightbulb may finally be going on in the Santorum and Gingrich campaigns.

Santorum is looking at polling showing him losing his home state of PA (deja vu all over again) so he is taking a four day "vacation" from the campaign. Hopefully at the end of he will gracefully (if he is capable of that) bow out before he embarreases himself completely and lose any legitimacy as a force within the Republican party.

Newt has the embarrassment of one of his organizations filing for bankruptcy today. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of your management ability even if the problems only really started to mount once he left it to run for Prez. This may explain why he cut back his campaign a few days ago if he knew this was coming and saw the handwriting on the wall.

I hope the flood of truly conservative Republican leaders telling RS and The Newt to acknowledge reality finally is working. Those of you who claim it is only moderates trying to edge conservatives out have to face the fact that conservative leaders like Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan and Rubio are all telling them to concede. These guys know we (Repubs) are killing our chances of winning in November with this infighting.

It's Easter weekend. That could be his reason. He also has beat Romney in the south. I don't know why he would drop out before Texas. But, if someone talked with him, we will find out.

Newt hasn't been a part of that company since last May.

Newt is also incorporating a "Lean Six Sigma". Lean Six Sigma is a managerial concept of Lean and Six Sigma that results in the elimination of the 7 kinds of wastes (Defects, Overproduction, Transportation, Waiting, Inventory, Motion/Redundancy and Overprocessing) within goods and service at a rate of 3.4 defects per million opportunities.

I hope that the GOP doesn't disenfranchise those of us who have not cast a vote in the primaries. You can thank Rubio for getting the ball rolling in Florida to force Romney on us. Yes, I just love the GOP.

Yes, he certainly is. Much more a warrior than I first knew. But, like CC1 said in another post, he will always be a part because of his brilliant mind.

There was even a time when I was supporting Rick Perry, unfortunately he was not ready to face the national exposure in a campaign. I believe Romney will prove to be much more conservative than many believe him to be.

They are voting, reluctantly, for him because the media and GOP have everyone convinced he is the nominee - the inevitable. I hope he does prove to be much more conservative than many believe. I certainly believe there are people who will hold his feet to the fire. Too bad he has that perception about him.

At this point in the 2008 race, McCain was over 50% and HE couldn't beat Obama. This is astonishing to me, that Romney's actually got nearly 4 out of 10 Republicans convinced he's the right guy. I estimate that 6 out of 10 GOP likely voters will become "likely sitters home." Here we go, 2008 all over again....(sigh). Looking forward to 2016 when we can try once again to put a true Conservative in the White House."

I can't see 6 out of 10 republicans sitting out the elcetion. Maybe 2 of 10? As disappointed as some would be (including myself to a point, I prefer Gingrich or Santorum) I Romney is the nominee, they would be devestated at another 4 years of
"waint until the election is over" Obama.

I want the brokered convention!

I'm sour on santoeria, but Newt is someone I could vote for-- if Newt pick santo for his VP, I would hold my nose and support my party. I'd rather see a Newt-Christie ticket! That would more than motivate the base, attract the swing voterrs and Independents!

Those calling for a Newt-Rubio ticket would simply be using Rubio as race bait and I hope our party stays away from that trash because it NEVER works as planned. I thought the GOP was above that, but this primary season has proven me wrong in that respect.

Under no circumstances will I vote for a ticket with Romney on it. I will work and campaign hard for Obama to win in Florida and my efforts (along with others) would be most effective where I live-- along the I-4 corridor.

What you guys don't understand is that I am not the only one that KNOWS Romney is not a conservative!

We don't want him!

You'd vote for Gingrich, but if its between Obama and Romney you'd "campaign hard" for Obama? RIDICULOUS! You have a vote and can use it any way you want, but to say you won't vote for Romney because he's not a conservative, but you will actively spend your energy, life, and God given breath (all for free) to make sure that the most radical leftist socialistic internationalist, flip flopping divisive,Islamic regime supporting (Israel hating) president in US history retains power (and gets stronger since there remains no threat of being voted out) is one of the most senseless things I've ever read.

I am a MO delegate for Rick Santorum, the conservatives need to have their voice heard in the GOP.... There is more to it than presidential selection, and no one should sit out in Nov.

While it can be argued RomneyCare is similar to ObamaCare, it simply cannot be argued that Mit Romney (or any R candidate) has a socialistic worldview in the manner of BHO. I would run to the polls to vote for Donald Duck against Obama.
