Now the big question is, will Sarah Palin endorse Rick Perry, or is he too much of an intellectual for her?

Love all the reasoning here. I don't buy hardly any of it. Romney barely eked out a win over Santorum. Santorum is undoubtedly the more conservative candidate. Romney still stuck in his usual percentages of support. Bachmann supporters will go to Santorum if they stay true to their beliefs. Whoever the anti-Romney candidate is should be able to garner that support if he goes after it.

It's only the Beltway and the media who are in Romney's corner. Is that enough? We shall see. All of you above should prepare to be shocked and disappointed.

In politics being true to beliefs takes a back seat to backing a winner. Romney, far and away, has the best chance of winning in November.

Santorum, Gingrich, Paul - I am sure they are all nice guys. I don't agree with them on anything, but I am sure they are nice guys.

BUT - Romney has the ground game in place in all the primary states and he has plenty of $$. He's been planning this for 4 years.

For the R's, it's Romney or bust.

It has been said many times and many ways that Santorum is NOT electable. If the Republicans want a chance at the White House, it will have to be Romney AND another moderate for VP on their ticket.

Where in that article does it say Mitt supports poligimy? The one statement was a joke.

The results in Iowa didn't really support anything. turnout was low and most were far right christian. romney only won by 8 votes after all the money he dumped there. Perry will continue.

It is still too early to determine who wiull win the primary. New Hampshire will also go to romney but after that ?????

Romney is not my choice because he is in favor of a VAT tax which by the way is a favorite of Dems. Europe introduced its VAT around 1969 and now into the upper 20 percentages supports Europe welfare system. Beside which romney is what ever one wants him to be at that point in time.

Ask yourself which of the candidates/incumbent would cause you to follow them? the answer for me is none of them...not one

Where have all the great men gone?????

You are asking for something that I NEVER recall happening.....JANMCN providing a source for the venom he/she spews.....if it is someone other than a Democrat, they are to be demonized with no source..no credible link, just they have to be wrong because I dont agree therefore......

Just saying things or using the party line is the new political line. You dont have to know anything or what you are talking about. Just ridicule and run.

If Romney prevails, watch him tap Sen. Marco Rubio for VP...in an attempt to achieve geographical and ethnic balance.

here is what I learned about Iowa. Our democracy is dead,period. Reps,Dems no longer matter. The real winner in Iowa and coming to your state soon is the super PAC. They can spend unlimited money,they don't disclose donors until after the vote is counted and they want to postpone that. These creatures were unleashed by the 2010 Supreme Court ruling. Both sides have them.Both sides will use them. Forget democracy,money is all that will matter. I really enjoyed the back and forth with many of you,it was fun to take sides and discuss and argue the issues but as I see it we are wasting our time. Obama Romney whoever....it doesn't matter they will be owned by big money.Our democracy is no longer.

waynet, a short history lesson is in order.

The United States of America is NOT, I repeat, NOT a democracy.

The United States of America is, I repeat, is a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC.

Now, having said that, you are right, no matter what you call the United States of America, We The People, no longer matter. All the pols are bought and paid for by the Super PACS and will do their bidding to keep getting elected. Sad state of affairs.

I always take political advice on who the Republican nominee will and should be from my rabid lefty friends. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Google Mormons/polygamy and you'll find thousands of links to read.

I thought that Polygamy is illegal everywhere in the USA, and that the Mormon Church does not condone Polygamy. Or perhaps you referring to past history. If you want to read about plural marriages that were once religiously supported, try reading the Old Testament.
