My Shocker Prediction

Never forget, both parties define success as one simple concept...

Ron Paul does not win the nomination!!

After that it doesn't matter anymore, regardless of who wins the White House!

Your predictions sound very possible to me. I've been thinking the same way.

If Romney was beaten by McCain, who was beaten by Obama, I don't think Romney can beat Obama this year when he is doing so badly among Republicans.

I also think my farts don't stink. I honestly think Romney is the ONLY hurdle to the WH. However, if he did...pinch me.

Is when the MSM and the RNC treat Ron Paul fairly. Then I woke up, : (

no- Romney's not going anywhere...

If anyone is going to drop it will be Gingrich...

Probably Gingrich is going to regroup and try to get organized, and spend money in later contests, especially in the South.... how long he'll stick around after that depends- if he loses despite his efforts he'll probably drop out, otherwise he'll probably keep going until either the convention, or until someone wins enough delegates....

I would say there's a good chance this could still be a 3-4 person race up until May/June.

knows he's done.

I also had an inkling that maybe we've got this dynamic all wrong.

What would the race look like if it were from the beginning Paul, Gingrich and Santorum after South Carolina?

Might Gingrich have taken Florida as well? Most likely.

Would these contests last night have changed much? Not likely.

What if Mitt was simply in this for his own ego, and at this point, his staying in this long was just long enough for another candidate to not have a real shot if they jumped in now?

The establishment vote will not go to Ron, not anytime soon. Those people will eventually go vote for whomever is winning anyway, but it won't be Ron just yet.

What if Romney is in it still to prevent Gingrich or now Santorum from running away with it?

Not to say he's doing it for Paul, but it really does benefit Paul more than Romney for Romney to stay in.

Romney is beating up big time on Grinch and Frothy. He'll really be targeting Frothy now.

Paul has money, but it sure is better if someone else is spending theirs against your opponents so you can use yours for other things.

I'd say right now, Mitt is doing more good for Paul IN the race, than if he dropped out.

I wonder, had he stayed in last time against McCain, would McCain have done so well? Could he even have won the nomination outright? Certainly, Paul was not in a position to win last time, but perhaps it would have been a closer and bloodier contest.

I'd say if Mitt stays in and continues to have mixed results, then that is a sign it IS NOT coming from orders to keep Paul at bay. If there truly was anyone playing Mitt as part of an "anybody but Paul" game, they'd have Mitt drop out before Super Tuesday so the path can be opened up for Frothy or Salamander to take the helm.

Going to a horse race and all the horses but one are owned by the same guy who also owns the anouncer, race track, judges and most of the audiance. Those few betters who are suspicious sit around and argue over which horse will win the race. Its a joke, any candidate but RP is simply the same puppet of the bank gangster families and will continue the System of creating money as a national debt with a purpose of inflicting immoral extorted theft called tax upon the people justifyed by the false national debt. When the compounding national debt becomes to large to pay back the cycle requires immoral mass murder called war.

Liberty is the only choice for a free man.

And Frothy Santorum is hoping for a job on Fox!

They'll drop when it's time to unite behind the 'GOP candidate' bullsh*t they did like last year.

Until then, Operation prevent RP from a single victory is in full effect. Also AIPAC will give the election to Obama if he attacks Iran and it doesn't matter what RobMe does.

And who do you think'll win in Utah & Idaho? The only candidate that wears Mormon superhero underwear!

Romney drop out?

don't be fooled. The puppetmasters have already chosen Romney
