You nailed that one.i think bachmann wil bow out after placing poorly in iowa since she has no chance in later states and santorum/perry seem to have some momentum.

I'm not sure Romney has a real shot at winning this really. He's a paper tiger IMO. People just don't like him no matter how hard he tries. Eventually he's got to convince some people to actually like him or he's not going to make it. There seems to be too many "anyone but Romney" voters out there. Once the field dwindles down to 2-3 candidates, Romney is in real trouble. If someone like Santorum can convince people he has a reasonable chance at beating Obama, it's game over. Right now the only reason he's polling on top is because people think he is the best shot at beating Obama and the "anyone but Romney" voters are split between several candidates. When the field thins out a bit, if some other candidate can make a strong case for being able to beat Obama, Romney will be out of this.
Santorum wins the nomination IMO. Every other candidate has fatal flaws. Although maybe Santorum has some unexposed weaknesses too.
Santorum would be worse than Bush 43, if you can imagine that. Almost as bad as a Cheney would be.
the santorum sweep last night made me think of this.
santorum comes off as genuine, blue collar, and conservative. watch out if he gets any money.
Bush and Cheney are both just typical GOP pundits, just like Romney and the Newt! SANITARIUM is nothing but the hard religious right..... Out of wedlock sex = BAD, Gay = BAD, Drugs = BAD and anything other then paying your 20% to the church = BAD!
25 years voting GOP and no way in HELL would I vote to put this country in a SANITARIUM!
Not even sure I can call myself a Republican any more! Sure they fit my views on guns, entitlements, fiscal conservatism and border control... But they miss the point on the state rights, smaller Fed govt, gay rights, the drug war and even allowing hard working illegals who ARE here a right to stay once the border is secure!You sound like a reasonable Republican. Helluva quandry you guys have time time 'round eh?

i will disagree with the people talking bad about santorum. i see him as one of the most reasonable choices they could make. remember, he will not be a dictator, he will have to work with a congress that would never allow his jesus-sharia laws through.
i think his views are horribly misguided, but i think he is genuine about what he says and really does care about some of the blue collar folk that are hurting, even us godless liberals.
santorum democrats, anyone?
I don't follow. Santorum is bat shit nuts. This is what he has to say about global warming, "an excuse for more government control of your life."
Then he says, he doesn't believe in a right to privacy.
This fails basic logic. You can't be for government defining lifestyle choices and against government control. That's government controling life. He's the 1984 candidate. That scares me to death.
I really hope Romney wins. It will be a wake up call for republicans. I just hope republicans find a replacement in 2016. Democrats will also have a wake up call, that heir changey hopey bullshit pisses everyone off so much, they forced Uncle Pennybags to become president.
i really hope santorum wins. i just really do not like romney. like a majority of americans, the more i see, the less i like (i really am quoting a poll taken that says 52% of those polled liked romney less as they learned more about him).
edit: also, romney's favorability rating is about 30% and dropping like a stone.
I really hate Romney too. Probably more than you do. But if Obama gets in again, he proves we're stupid. Santorum is a paranoid version of a Bush. He'd get a following. So neither Obama nor Santorum would change things. Rommey will get no following. He's our only hope for causing a revolution. We're being duped and it's time we stood up for ourselves.
