    I don't see newt or santorum dropping out. This is getting more interesting with every primary.

    What is the delegate count at this point?

    Yessterday was screwed up. Most of the delegates were non-binding which is why Romney didn't campaign much..

    Romney 107
    Santorum 69
    Gingrich 32
    Paul 9

    Maine is Sat for 24 non-binding. Gingrich and Santorum aren't campaigning

    My dream is still a brokered convention, with someone like Pawlemty coming out on top.

    I hate the way things have been done in the past 30 years or so. The winner is whoever is able to play the game, and manipulate the system to reach 50% plus 1.

    Romney has the money. It looks like Super Tuesday will be a zoo.

    Most are proportional

    Ohio
    Virginia -- Mitt's on the balllot w/ Paul.
    Idaho --
    Mass - Mitt
    Vermont - Mitt

    If the race comes down to 2 individuals, say Romney and Santorum or Gingrich, Romney could easily lose. We may see a convention were no candidate has enough delegates to lock up the nomination. I believe after the first vote, if no candidate wins the nomination, the delegates are free to vote as they choose.

    I would watch that catfight. You think the GOP would split in two? Could we get that lucky?

    In your dreams as that won't happen. The republicans will be united behind anyone who will dethrone Obama and his Western European beliefs.

    So you would be united behind Santorum?

    How can I put this. Anybody but Obama. Many others I know feel the same way. Many voted for him last time and will not do the same this time.
    Is he perfect, no but no candidate is perfect. He is better than Obama on many key issues that I support.

    He will defend my right to bear arms.
    He wants to open up natural energy resources
    He supports spending cuts and reform entitlements
    Repeal Obamacare
    Securing our borders

    I can go on but this is why I will support Santorum over Obama

    He didn't support spending cuts when he was in office, and he supported the Bush's massive expansion of government (Medicare prescription plan ...)

    Voters in his own state overwhelmingly threw him out of office. That speaks volumes.

    In the past, I would agree with you. However, in this new era of NO COMPROMISE Conservatives, who knows. Are you sure the GOP will pull together? So far, this is the nastiest GOP primary battle I have ever seen.

    Not much different than four years ago just with more coverage in so many different media types. I do think at times they are trying to out do one another. They should be focusing on the president and less on each other.

    Anyone who doesn't see that Romney is going to win the nomination is just kidding themselves at their point.

    Not that you'd change your mind, but Obama has pretty much steered clear of the NRA. Has opened up more off shore drilling and hasn't indicated support.or opposition for the pipeline. He has supported both spending and entitlements. He has beefed up border security and indicated he would do more as part of comprehensive immigration reform.

    Clearly, he does support the affordable care act but overall it's not bad for a supposed illegal alien socialist.

    I wouldn't be so sure that you'd get better conservative results from the clowns running the GOP. I would fully expect their backers to start looting the gov't again.
