Agreed...didn't see that coming. GOP is fubared in November with Santorum. It is interesting that based on stereotypes you would have expected a bible thumper like Santorum to have done better in the South vs. Midwest.bluehenbillk wrote:Didn't see a 3 for 3 coming last night.
More of a vote against Romney or for Santorum?
Either way, not looking that great for the GOP vs Obama in November....
Well, he is still a Catholic - the South tends to like their bible thumpers to be of the Protestant bent.ASUG8 wrote:Agreed...didn't see that coming. GOP is fubared in November with Santorum.

...and that's a sad testament to what's available to pass vetting in the GOP. Obama has very little to hang his hat on as far as accomplishments, yet the GOP is so fragmented that they can't get behind anyone enough to make a change in November. I see a lot of Republicans sitting this one out, and the independents don't really need to show up either for Obama to win.GannonFan wrote:I don't think there's any doubt now that, barring some disaster economically, that Obama is a lock for re-election. It was always an uphill climb for the GOP to unseat an incumbent (as it is for any Presidential incumbent) and now that the GOP has no viable candidate (Santorum would lose PA in a landslide - he'd be Mondale-like, and Romney only a little better) the focus is really on the Congressional elections. Can the GOP hold onto and increase their control of the House and can the Democrats hold onto control of the Senate? Will enough Dems come out in an election where the President is assured of victory, as it seems likely, and will the GOP, angry about having no shot at the White House, turn that fury towards the Congressional races. Independents are likely not to be as influential this time around and it may really be an issue of the partisans on either side determining things. But the Presidential race appears to be all but wrapped up now.
True, but the South most people think of is hardly what it used to be. With the migration of retirees from the Northeast and elsewhere it's a much more diverse group. My office here is about 60% native southerners, the balance from all over the place.GannonFan wrote:Well, he is still a Catholic - the South tends to like their bible thumpers to be of the Protestant bent.ASUG8 wrote:

Wrong.Current delegate count is:Ibanez wrote:He is still far behind in the Delegate count, 106-22. Last night will definelty bring him in more money. If he gets the nomination, I think Obama has his 2nd term in the bag.
Yeah, a president with an approval rating in the 40s who is in a tie with Romney (who is going to win the Rep nomination) in the lastest USA Today/Gallup head to head (both swing state and nationally) has it all wrapped up and is a lock for reelectionGannonFan wrote:I don't think there's any doubt now that, barring some disaster economically, that Obama is a lock for re-election.

Gingrich's numbers were impressive too before Mitt unleashed the dogs. The same will happen to some extent once Obama starts spending his dough.BDKJMU wrote:Yeah, a president with an approval rating in the 40s who is in a tie with Romney (who is going to win the Rep nomination) in the lastest USA Today/Gallup head to head (both swing state and nationally) has it all wrapped up and is a lock for reelectionGannonFan wrote:I don't think there's any doubt now that, barring some disaster economically, that Obama is a lock for re-election.

Yeah, I read somewhere that it cost $8 million to hold a meaningless primary. Couldn't believe itSuperHornet wrote:BDK...Missouri didn't "move their primary up." Their state law has apparently placed the primary in Feb for years, but the GOP National Committee decided that they were God and tried to force it into March. The way I heard it, Missouri decided to hold TWO primaries. Dumb move in terms of cost, IMO.
Jon:
The thread title reminds me of the World Bowl Champion Sacramento Surge, which featured Bill Goldberg.
The only candidate who really had a prayer is Gingrich. And he's too Neo-con for the hard core repubs....Obama would really have to shit himself now to not get reelected.GannonFan wrote:I don't think there's any doubt now that, barring some disaster economically, that Obama is a lock for re-election.
