Watch the MSM proclaim the GOP race over tonight...

especially if Mittens wins by double digits in Florida.

Hard to believe that four states have such power and Mittens would win only two of them (NH, Florida), the Grinch 1 (South Carolina) and Santorum 1 (Iowa).

I say there is no reason for it to be over and the Grinch should continue on because Mittens is a very unpoopular 'front-runner.' Next week Minnesota will be holding a caucus and a week ago PPP had the Grinch leading there by 2-1 (whether that has changed, who knows?) so hopefully the contest will continue

1. I wish they wouldn't do these things in my state.

Having people get together to vote for Gingrich makes me feel about the same way I do towards Minnesota's recent ash borer invasion.

2. I thought that (Republicans) voters wanted more say in the primaries, and not

have the race decided by mid-February ...

Of course, if you believe that the (allegedly) "liberally-biased media" knows all and sees all and determines the race, what's your opinion of President Hillary? (rhetorical question ...)

3. Not Quite.

At the time that they were saying that a Hillary nomination was inevitable, they were also saying that the inevitable repub nominee rudy was going to inevitably win.

Oh the glory of the wisdom of the 2.1 broadcast school GPA.

PEACE!

4. Nah-they LOVE covering the "horse race" and want it to continue as long as possible. n/t

5. Naw......

the media wants & needs that SuperPac money.....
Advertising revenues have fallen off during the recession,
and they will do whatever it takes to get more of those millions
laying around in those SuperPac bank accounts.

Watch them revive Newt just in time for the next battle......
it is what they do best!

6. Look at reality, it is over

Mitt got the same number of delegates as Santorum did in Iowa. He wins the big one in Florida, more delegates than all the previous primaries. His money machine is rolling right along, unlike Newt's, which is faltering and sputtering. Not to mention that the next two contests, Nevada and Minnesota are prime territory for Mitt, places where he has won or done well before.

Newt doesn't have the money, backers or ground game to catch up. Not to mention that the Republican party establishment simply don't want him, either as revenge for his antics in the late nineties, or because he is a crazy unpredictable hothead that they can't control. And despite the ongoing grassroots flogging, the Tea Partiers, Freepers and other such whacko right wing conservatives simply don't have what it takes to push Newt into the winner's circle.

But don't worry, this is good news, at least for Obama. A lot of disgruntled Newt fans will stay home this fall, which means a much easier path for Obama. I've been saying ever since the 'Pugs unloaded their clown car that it is Obama's election to lose, because on their own, none of the 'Pugs can beat him.
