2012 republican presidential nominee III: can romney get santorum out of his hair?

They don't have cabinet appointments to offer him, I'm sure, but they'd be hitting him up on whatever traces of party loyalty are left, and, more important, reminding him that it's better to be inside the fold than out if you want to continue giving lucrative speeches.

I’ll be darned if I’m going to let 123,000 people, in Iowa of all places (or anywhere else for that matter) tell me who I am allowed to vote for in this Presidential election. I am a Perry supporter and pray for him to stay in the race. I watched the first debate. I heard the in-state tuition argument from whoever brought it up (don’t remember now). No one and I mean NO ONE, not moderators, not talking heads on television or radio ever mentioned what he actually said, standing right there on the stage, outlining briefly the process for being allowed to pay in-state tuition. From there, the falsehoods took hold about that and the stupid Gardisil thing, etc. And YOU, Mr. Erick Erickson (God bless you for all the good work you do), have only made me angry one time in all the months I’ve been lurking around here. When you interviewed Gov. Perry in California and brought the tuition issue up, you called it SCHOLARSHIPS. You see, the words we use do matter when trying to convey the truth, even if it is an accidental GAFFE. If that interview had been broadcast on the MSM or even on Fox, once the masses heard that word ‘scholarships’, they would have tuned out and turned off right then, never listening to Gov. Perry patiently explain how it really works. His team should have done more to get the truth out there and I can’t fathom why they did not. There must be a way to get the stellar accomplishments of this fine Governor out where the most people will see them, especially those who do not take the time to research a candidates platform and past performance in office.

Rats! Now I have to go to work. Keep the faith Perry Posse.

Keep the faith Perry Posse.

I want to sign all of my emails with this

"in Iowa of all places"

I like how indignant he is over the tuition issue, yet somehow he never actually says anything about what Perry actually said

ha it really captures something

Kelsey Grammer Newt Gingrich looks like a motherfucker with some dark secrets.

Romney got less votes in 2012 than he got in 2008

"it was the same number of votes, but each individual vote was smaller"

the gop establishment has been in a frothy panic

thakig u

For starters, the media would have you believe that the 123,000 people who turned out for the Hawkeye Caucii was a record. This is simply not true except superficially. If you take out the non-Republicans who came into the caucuses last night for Ron Paul, the Republican turn out was less than 2008 — even considering the ratio of independents to Republicans who turned out in 2008.

oh jesus

This is simply not true except superficially

Bachmann's qui--"suspending." Supposedly she'll endorse craziness.

Ames Straw Poll selling for $0.39 on e-Bay.

It's kind of true, though. If Ron Paul isn't the candidate, a handful of his followers will vote Republican, but a bunch will either not vote or will vote for a third party or still write him in.

And more than a few will vote for Obama

eh he has a number of heterodox opinions

hey, the GOP is the Big Tent party

it's just that when you let in too many people, things get crowded and someone inevitably jostles you and you spill yr vodka martini; the tent is more about elbow room than inclusiveness

the big spacious tent party

MA gov romney is prob further from the 'gop median' than 2011 ron paul. no?

Jon King supposedly has a source that Perry's staying in (if I heard the TV in the background correctly).

Oh those smoke filled rooms:

A group of movement conservatives has called an emergency meeting in Texas next weekend to find a “consensus” Republican presidential hopeful, POLITICO has learned.

“You and your spouse are cordially invited to a private meeting with national conservative leaders of faith at the ranch of Paul and Nancy Pressler near Brenham, Texas, with the purpose of attempting to unite and to come to a consensus on which Republican Presidential candidate or candidates to support, or which not to support,” read an invitation that is making its way into in-boxes Wednesday morning.

The meeting is being hosted by such prominent conservative figures as James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family; Don Wildmon, one-time chairman of the American Family Association; and Gary Bauer, himself a former presidential candidate.

MA gov romney is prob further from the 'gop median' than 2011 ron paul. no?

ehh, I'm pretty sure the average Republican voter is more likely to vote for Romney than Paul.

wasnt it Frothymix who complained that Paul was "to the left of Obama on national security"? as if there was any room there, huh.

its nice to know that in 2012 big deal republicans still implicitly word their invites to read 'no jews'

Good luck USA!

naw pauls stances on foreign policy / criminal justice / economics are p much the oposite of the gop establishment - romney is just somewhat moderate - i mean its wroth repeating that he pushed for 'romneycare' because it was a major republican concept at the time - he did it because he thought it would help him get elected president! lol
