Politics Who's Gonna Win?

I wonder who will win in a three way race between Romney, Santorum, and Paul? Who will the other 28% of voters go if they don't have the other candidates taking away their votes?

That is why they need to have playoff style voting or ranked voting.

 

identical to yours

 

Ugh, my mistake....sorry for the mishap. It was meant for loquitur.

I believe it will be Mitt man winning the Republican nomination.

 

It is far from being over. And even though Romney and Paul are the only ones on the VA ballot...

I'd question whether the average Perry, Bachman, or Gingrich voter would ever vote for Mitt.

And I read this, which says that Mitt shouldn't be so quick in bragging about winning Iowa. If only 5 votes had been miscounted, it could have been a different outcome. And Santorum would have won.

Anyways, Jill Stein (http://www.jillstein.org/) is a better choice than Mitt or Santorum.

 

i can't believe mccain endorsed romney. i'm not even sure romney appreciated it? i mean the guy who couldn't even compete against obama is giving the possible future gop nominee an endorsement. sounds more like a curse than a blessing to me. if i was romney, i'd want to stay as far away from bush/mccain type people as possible.

i really dont think mccain ever had a shot against obama tbh regardless of who he picked as a running mate. if anything the only excitement from his campaign came because of her.

 

I hadda get this in and I won't bore you with links, it was a Yahoo article, and like a lot of news stories the headline says it all.

Gingrich to Blacks ' demand paycheck not food aid" the article goes on to say that if invited by the NAACP (at least that's the group I think mentioned) to speak that would be his subject matter.

the first thing that occured to me that if I were head of any of those organizations I would be on the phone personally inviting him to speak right now. I would corner the snack concession and bring in every reporter who wanted to come.

Does this guy NOT have someone working for him that wants him to win?

 

I guess the only response i have is that he's campaigning to republicans right now and not the nation as a whole. what he says now to try and win will be forgotten by time he runs for president, just like conservatives forget that he's not really a conservative at all.

 

Interesting that the Boston Globe endorsed Huntsmann instead of local boy Romney today. Although most of the endorsement is "here's why Romney sucks".

 

I get that, I even get that it's realtivley safe for him to say in that he's not counting on the Black vote.
But to offer up such a broad judgement of a people, any people, at any time during a campaign, I don't get.

 

I believe there will be ups and downs, but Romney has the money and organization. I also think most republicans think he is the only one who even stand a chance of beating Obama.
He knew Iowa would extremely difficult...that's why he originally wasn't going to bother with a lot of campaigning there. The numbers made him change his mind.

Obama 2012!

I agree, McCain was not going to win in 08, but my god, she certainly helped voters in the decision-making process.

I heard that on NPR on the way home.....talk about blatantly playing the racial stereotype. As usual, his facts are incorrect. Only 1/5 of people receiving food stamps are African-American.

My word, we've only gotten through one state, and my head is ready to fall off my shoulders from too much repeated shaking of it in disgust.

 

And who will Romney pick as his VP choice? Palin would be the right choice for him I think to help him get the conservative vote. Rubio would be another one.

Romney will have to do something bold to get the rest of the GOP to get excited about voting for him. Ron Paul as the VP might be an interesting choice too... He has to unify the republicans (anti-mormon, conservative, libertarian, and fiscal conservatives groups to vote for him)

Obama probably has 3:1 odds right now over any GOP candidate. And if the unemployment numbers get to 7% by Nov, it should be easy.

This is so funny. And then the Obama ad for the GOP nomination at the end is comedy gold (they should have added in Gitmo, drone attacks, and oil subsidies to the list).

 

Romney's tax plan will certainly be fuel for Obama in the general. Cut the wealthy, and business, tax rate significantly, minimal middle-class increase, while increasing tax on the poor.

 

Haha, unfortunately they seem to fool many Americans with their rhetoric.

Romney's new tax plan only increases the federal deficit 180 billion....funny how just this past summer they were ready to shut down the govt. because the it was crashing around us because of the debt.

Just amazes me that after all the "Occupy New York" protests they have the balls to still submit lopsided tax plans that favor the wealthy.

 

It's because the idea that the average american isn't a leech just doesn't compute for them. They actually believe the demonstrably false nonsense about job creators that they spout on a regular basis.The job creators are entitled to the tax cuts, because we're all parasites living off of the success that they provide.

I personally like hearing Romney talk about how scary it is to lack economic security. Totally makes him seem more genuine. It's similar to how Gingrich seems more genuine when he pretends to be able to experience human emotion and Santorum seems more relatable when he pretends to not be a giant bigot misogynist.

 

Ha,ha...like your second paragraph

I guess I just have a hard time accepting that anyone could truly believe such nonsense.

Thought I'd share this open letter that was in the Daily Kos. I really liked the first few paragraphs....after that it was a bit garbled and repetitive.

one of gingrich's ex wife apparently did a campaign ending interview. also perry is dropping out today, looks like it's a romney paul santorum race now if gingrich's wife isn't lying.
