What if Mitt comes in 2nd or worse, third

[GordonGecko]

He won't.

Mitt #1, Paul #2, Santorum #3 and Newt a distant 4th.

For Mitt, it'll solidify his prominence as the 'presumed' nominee.

The rest, it really doesn't matter.

A short lived reprieve from 'suspending' their campaigns?

CB....how will Mitt do in South Carolina?

 

[jammer]

Actually seond or third might be better for Mitt. Iowa hasn't picked the correct republicon nominee in years, Huckaby, Buchanan, Robertson ust to name a few. The rpeublicons of Iowa are a looney bunch and vote accordingly.

 

[degsme]

Actually that's where I'm hoping Mitt comes in.

 

[jammer]

I detest Test

Explains a lot about you Dawg.

 

[Corruptbuddha]

He'll be #2 to Newt, I believe.

Unless, of course, he spends more time there.

 

[bdtex]

It doesn't matter. Establishment GOPs have created a caucus/primary calendar that is frontloaded with states mostly favorable for Romney. Some on the right are doing their best to convince others that it's not over,but it is.

 

[NCmusicman]

Why worry... the primaries are the proving grounds and a great process that is making the Republican choice unbeatable.

 

[Minotaur]

Huntsman would make a fine President.

Actually that is where we agree. I'm pushing for 2016. He got his name recognition from this round and that may prove to be important. I've been a Huntsman proponent for about 5 years now. Got the chance to vote for him when he won by 75% of the Utah vote (both sides voted for him.) If he is ever in the running in the future I'll give the breakdown of why he is solid, at least to me.

 

[GordonGecko]

He'll be #2 to Newt, I believe.

Unless, of course, he spends more time there.

Probably....he can write off South Carolina if Newt comes in 4th or worse in Iowa and let Gingrich have it.

That way Santorum is knocked back down...maybe see a PERRY resurgence and the Romney strategy of "divide and conquer" of the Hard Right continues.

 

[Corruptbuddha]

The also ran's really don't matter.

Mitt WILL be the eventual nominee.

Weird....you didn't Top Post or even say that that much a month ago, when all your friends here were in Newt'mania.

In fact, you JOINED them praising Gingrich!?!?!?!?

 

[GordonGecko]

i hope he wins and gets the nomination. I think we need a change and he's the only republican candidated i can live with..

WILL, you know Area 51 is right beside Utah...and Utah's full of Mormons! Just sayin'

Romney may not win Iowa.
Either Santorum or Paul could come out on top.
Iowa is not a decider, but the top person in either Iowa or in New Hampshire will probably be the winner in South Carolina and whoever wins in South Carolina will probably be the nominee. It's not certain, of course........ but that's how it usually works. So although Iowa is not a decider, it is an important link in determining who will ultimately win.

 

[kgswiger]

Sanitarium doesn't have a chance. Mitt's already well-positioned in New Hampshire, and I just don't see Sanitarium gaining much ground there. He's a flash in the pan and will go away soon enough.

Sanitarium or Paul? Neither would win against Obama, so a moot point in my opinion

You know, Stan, we don't agree all that often, but I love Sanitarium as a nickname for the dumbass.

 

[StanH]

Alright, but let's keep this agreeing nonsense to a minimum.

I like Gingrich.

Always have, but I've ALWAYS told you that Mitt would win.

Since before the Fray went

up.

Of course, I will reiterate the obvious...ABBO!

Jen, Mitt MAY be a liberal...but atleast he's a "leader", huh?

Well, CB, let's just say you're "Mitt WILL be the Nominee" posts and responses were rather...lean....when Newt'mania was going on 4-6 weeks ago.

Hey, Stan...I like "Sanitarum" too. Sorry.
