As each primary passes,both Newt and Santorum's failure to get on the VA ballot looks even worse. Both of them needed whatever delegates they could pick up in VA. Both of them have a chance to win some of the other states on Super Tuesday. Kansas is 4 days after Super Tuesday. That's looking like a Santorum state. Alabama and Mississippi are a week after Super Tuesday.

What will be funny is if this goes to the convention, who is going to sell out first. My real belief is Newt will be bought by big money republicans before too long. He will be walking around lighting cigars with 100.00 bills not long from now, but who will win the biding war?

...gnewt is done, that horse has been rode and put away wet. Not being on the ballot is much more significant to santorum, especially in light of his recent "victories"(?). If Paul takes VA, the mr. mitt could be in for some problems...

I had a gut feeling Ricky S. was not dead yet. The problem with this batch is none of them can be taken serious except maybe Rick S....

I was hoping the GOP would have embraced Huntsman but it seem they want a radical nut so Obama can win a second term.

The West Coast states will go Romney, the Mid-West will go Rick S., and the South will go Newt except Florida which we already know it went Mitt...

The one to watch is Texas... The one that takes Texas will be the leader, but the leading candidate will have to broker with the other two...

I was thinking last night that Romney will probably focus on a big state and NE states campaign with his money advantage. CA,TX,FLA,NY,OH,MI,IN,VA,MA,IL etc.

What was already gonna be a brutal month for Newt just got worse. Can't imagine he'll have much money to campaign in the Super Tuesday states that he has a chance to win.

Newt will carry Southern states like his home State, Alabama, and those deep southern states with a strong Bible Beatin' Baptist population.

The only way Newt can take Texas is throught the Hispanic vote seeing his stance on immigration and Rick S. Weakness in that department.

After super Tuesday I feel Mitt and Newt might need a reality check and a broker convention is what is coming...

Something is telling me Rick wins last night might have pushed him into the race for good and if so he better be ready to argue facts with Obama, offer solutions, and stay away from the political spin because let face it a Italian Catholic on the GOP being the other choice is not what WASP America really want, and his anti-immigratiion stance has hurt him with the Hispanic community...

VA will be fun. Romney will win it...Governor Bob is behind him all the way, so will Ewic Cantor and the other Repub boys. But if there is a "protest vote" from Santorum and Gingrich fans...it'll put Ol' Doc Paul in a CLOSE 2nd place and mean Ron gets more delegates going into the Convention...

which means him trying to get a prime speech-time.
