I think you're underestimating the bat shit crazy wing of your party. The fundies are a block so if they can be splintered in the short term to give Mitt the nomination then called back into the fold by one of their own being nominated VP, it makes sense.
I am not the one understimating them. '86 is. HE is the one who thinks (because of the split vote last night) that somehow obama was the winner last night.

Yeah, the Donks were sure hurt in 08' when they were fractured between Obama & Hillary almost all the way to the donk convention.

He's parroting the line that the lib lamestream media is parroting. Its total baloney.

Remember the donk Iowa caucus in 92':
Candidate Votes Percentage Delegates
Tom Harkin 2,314 77.24% 26
Uncommitted 355 11.85% 15
Paul Tsongas 128 4.27% 0
Bill Clinton 76 2.54% 7
Robert Kerrey 72 2.40% 0
Jerry Brown 51 1.70% 1

NH primary: Tsongas won

2/23: Maine: Brown won.

2/25: S Dakota: Kerry won.

3/3: Colorado: Clinton won
------Georgia: Tsongas won
------Idaho: Harkin won
------Utah: Brown won
Washington: Brown won

3/7: S Carolina: Clinton won
-----Arizona: Brown won
----Wyoming: Clinton won

3/8: Nevada: Brown won

3/10: Florida: Clinton won
Louisiana: Clinton won
Mass: Brown won
Miss: Clinton won
OK: Clinton won
RI: Brown won
Tenn: Clinton won
TX: Clinton won
DE: Brown won
Hawaii: Clinton won
Missouri: Clinton won

3/17: IL: Clinton won
Michigan: Clinton won
3/19: N Dakota: Clinton won
3/24: CT: Brown won
3/31: Vermont: Brown won

Clinton didn't sew up the nomination till April. In the 1st 4 Donk contests, you had 4 different winners. NONE were Clinton. In the 1st 9 contests, you had 5 different winners. Yet you now have all these clowns sputing the BS that a divided field early by itself will somehow doom the Republicans. :roll:

I've been saying for quite some time now that if the Republicans were smart they would nominate Paul as he provides a clear conservative alternative to Obama. But Romney is going to get the big money backing in this and will win the nomination. This will not sit well with the anti-mormon christians and the true conservatives who recognize Romney for what he is...a Robama. Republicans are notoriously good at unification so we will see, but a long protracted primary coupled with low voter turn out for the above reasons does not bode well. The more time they have to get the primary settled and get behind Mitt, the better.

Low voter turnout bodes better for Mobama than it does for OBushma, IMHO. :coffee:

No matter who wins the nomination, Obama still has to mold this three year pile of shit he's created into something the US voters want for four more years....I don't think a Republican candidate has to even say a word to pull 30% of the popular vote come November no matter who it is.

You fucks ruined the nation before Obama was elected. He's cleaning up your mess and doing a great job. He saved the nation. Republicans will never acknowledge this, because they hate blacks and hispanics.

Paul is like an even whackier Goldwater. Sure, he's "pure" from an idealogy standpoint, but that just ends up being a rout come general election time. I don't see the GOP purposely putting up a candidate that would likely lose every battleground state.

You could be right and if the economic numbers keep improving it's probably a rout anyways, but if Paul made it at least we would have choice.
