Maybe.
But even if Ron Paul doesn't join in the fray, Gary Johnson will do just as much damage if he gets his campaign up and running.
This may turn into the primary slog of '08, except Democrats liked their candidates.

I don't know. But Romney's speech just SUCKED.
Obama's "Yes We Can!" speech was about the greatest concession speech of all time. Romney's speech needed to be something like that.
it's amazing how big the swing was in the polls. It's looking like Newt didn't just win, but he won BIG... Romney must be reeling right now. He's still going to win the nom, but he must feel shitty right now
Shit, man, Romney is incapable of such soaring rhetoric. Even if it was written for him, he couldn't deliver it.
But yes, no matter what one feels about Obama, that speech is an American classic now

Yup. They were produced in the very best robot factories.
Was just coming to flag this. Romney repping for those he's looking out for. Unfortunately there are not enough of them. :lol
This is so amazing. Romney got demolished. I don't think I've ever seen this kind of a swing in one week before. Newt went from down 10-15 to up by the same margin in one week flat. Damn.
Seriously, if he hits 40% it's going to look nasty for Romney. That's like a swing in a single week of over

Train them to do what? The jobs he's talking about are the ones he's paying $15 a day for in China. If he's talking about those same jobs, he was full of shit. And again, simply wanted the government to subsidize training for his company.

Supposedly Romney is getting Jeb Bush endorsement which may be big in FL.

Jeb Bush is going to endorse Mitt.
Then again, endorsements haven't helped Romney.

with ads likes these playing all the time in SC, you can see why they turned on him so quickly.

TPM has Newt at 41.5% and rising right now, Romney at 26%. That's a serious thumping by any measure.
If Santorum drops out, I'd wager most of his vote shifts to Newt, on top of it.
I still think Romney takes this, but for the first time I'm entertaining the possibility of a more, um, entertaining selection.

Goddamn newt up 15.
this has been known for a few weeks behind the political curtain. Every member of the Bush family are Romney supporters to some degree, and it was clear Jeb was waiting for opportune timing - which is on the eve of the Florida primary, of course.

I tell you one thing, Newt getting nominated will motivate me to vote for Obama. I was going to abstain this cycle, but I can't even begin to risk Newt becoming president.
Also, man, it'll be a hilarious presidential race.
Damnit, if true the establishment GOP is trying to seal the deal for Romney before things start getting of hand.
Can you imagine Gingrich's foreign policy?
Nightmare fuel.
What's a good news livestream that's covering the elections?

Ron Paul talking about the time he took the ferry to Shelbyville now.

Newt "What Election Law, lol?" Gingrich, ladies and gentlemen...
Yup. That is the second amazing thing about this week. We went from "Romney is going to be the first presidential candidate in history to sweep Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida" to...
"Well, Romney won New Hampshire. I guess."
Santorum must be pissed they called Iowa for him so late though. I don't think it would have made a huge difference though.
I was just talking about this with my dad. They'd be highly entertaining at the very least.
Either way, Republicans aren't enthused about Romney and the electorate will soundly reject Gingrich. What will be more interesting is what candidate will alienate more voters and give the Dems a stronger hand in congressional and local elections.

Wow, I don't think Romney even mentioned Gingrich's name once in his concession speech.
He won it by a landslide basically.

The debate performance was huge. Man, John King must feel like SHIT right now. You don't ever want to be part of the story when you're a serious journalist

Gingrich is beating Romney among women 38-29.
Yeah he is!

Romney 26.1%
Santorum 17.8%
Paul 13.5%
Cain 0.9%
Perry 0.6%
Huntsman 0.2%
Bachmann 0.1%
I don't think I've ever heard him personally attack ANYONE. He sticks to policy. He might be a nutter but he's a statesman
Idealogically, I don't think so. Politically, yes.
They're gonna rock-paper-scissors for it later.
My thoughts exactly. Yes Paul, debt, freedom, the constitution, the federal reserve, we get it already!
