Romney Keeps on Winning

Well, you never know with Eye of Newt. He might have more than 9 creepy lives!

As for Rick, you go boy! Defeat that Mor-(m)an and cinch the deal for the President!

Romney had 2,190 total votes, while Paul got 1,996. Rick Santorum finished third with 18 percent (989 votes). Newt Gingrich was fourth with 6 percent (349 votes0

Mitt Romney has won a straw poll of Republican voters at the American Conservative Union's annual CPAC conference in Washington.

Romney received 38 percent of Saturday's vote on the final day of the Conservative Political Action Conference, followed by Rick Santorum, who garnered 31 percent Newt Gingrich came in third place with 15 percent of the straw poll vote. Rep. Ron Paul won just 12 percent support

and yes silly sarha was there eye candy

There was more ballot cast in the CPAC poll than in Maine. If there had a none of the above, I think it would have beat Romney in both places.

Did I miss them or was Sarah the only woman at CPAC? Whenever they showed the crowd, I don't remember see a woman among them.

I think that MICHELLE BACHMAN spoke, she was actually somewhat funny for once. she said that if you want to become president you had to know the birthday of ELVIS PRESLEY

I heard her complaining about chrony capitalism in DC and saying it was Obama's fault, figured it was a waste of time to listen any further.

Yup, replace "Mor-(m)an" with "Muslim" or "Jew" and watch all hell break loose...but somehow, it's ok because he's Morman.

Slow days are the only kind of day in Hoserland.

Not so fast on resurrecting Romney's failing campaign.

Since the start of this campaign last year we've been told the following by both the elite media and the GOP establishment:

(1) that Mitt Romney is the presumptive de-facto GOP nominee; there's no denying this;

(2) that said Romney is a conservative;

(3) that Mittens is the *only* candidate capable of beating Obama.

As of today what do most of us now know so far?

1-Romney is not the de-facto GOP nominee and his chances are weakening by the day;

2-Romney is *not* a conservative (as most conservatives have known already);

3-Romney has proven to be the one candidate that is the most unlikely to defeat Obama come fall.

Santorum has won Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado. Rick thumped Romney in all three latter states, two of them won by Mittens in 2008!

He is also leading in Michigan by a very large margin, a state that was 'presumed' to be a Romney 'lock'.

Romney won an open primary in New Hampshire, won a caucus in Nevada and took a closed primary in Florida, plus an insignificant caucus in neighboring Maine the other night. He got a lower percentage of votes in all four states he won than last time. Even in Florida where he spent about $15+ million in negative ads against Gingrich he underperformed. Heck, both Santorum and Ron Paul didn't even campaign much in Florida.

In South Carolina, Mitt was leading in the polls up to a week or so before the debates that carried Newt to his lone moment in the sun.

The C-Pac straw poll win by Mitt was a joke too, with the Romney camp buying piles of tickets and having those supporters vote for Mitt. Not illegal at all but conservatives are onto this game and it only reinforces their disdain for him.

Yes, the GOP establishment could eventually carry Romney through all this, but I personally doubt it. The citizens won't let the GOP establishment or media tell us who the nominee will be.

A big loss in home state Michigan will probably doom the Romney run for good. It might help a Jeb Bush push come convention time so Santorum is far from a lock as well. But Romney is toast and it's a matter of time.

And, if Gingrich drops out completely before Super Tuesday, then Santorum gets just about all his supporters and this race might really be over. Hard to believe, but Santorum is looking great right now and poor Mitt, well the clock is ticking.

In all sincerity, when Richard says "in the first at Tampa" I almost always regret not being at Tampa Bay that day for the card. For me, it wouldn't feel right if Grunder wasn't on the mic.

Surprisingly enough, I'm still waiting to connect with Romney. Maybe I'll ask Mack who he likes.
