But he’ll look soooooo good giving that concession speech in early November. We the Party of Stupid love good looking sacrificial lambs.

 If Romney can’t beat Obama, neither could anybody that run, or most of anybody else except maybe Palin, possibly Bachman and arguably Perry. But Palin never entered, and the other two didn’t stay in long enough to make any kind of long-term impact. It’s not like we have any other good options.

Expect an “impassioned” speech by Gingrich ending his campaign and possibly endorsing Ron Paul.

Well, one can always hope, right?

 Who’s running against Lugar? Is it a good Tea Party Republican, or just another younger establishment upstart? If the former, I wish him well. If the latter, I still wish him well, just not quite as well.

THAT is the question. The guy has local Tea Party support, but maybe only because he isn’t Lugar? The challenger has made headlines here at The Other McCain. I’ve also written about him a bit:

 Mourdock, who was a successful county supervisor and current state AG, a solid and popular conservative who got more votes than any other candidate in 2010, including Mitch Daniels.

Don’t you love these sore loser conservatives that still want to whine how Romney is going to lose to Obama?  (despite several polls showing him winning)

Are they really that pathetic that they genuinely want 4 more years of Obama just so they can say “I told you so.”

Guess what, if Romney loses, I can tell you one question that absolutely nobody with a brain will be asking:
 ”Think we should have nominated Santorum?”

The guy that lost his last Senate race by 20 points was not going to be the guy that could knock off Obama.

Maybe next time don’t get so close to your stories, or pick less pathetic candidates to fall in love with.

So instead, we’re nominating the guy who ran away rather than take his 20-point drubbing.  Just effing brilliant!

Romney will win.  Peer though the polls, Obama has no support.  If Romney loses the vote was rigged. 

The only actual votes Obama will receive will be from government workers, union workers, and those on the dole.
But I repeat myself, don’t I?

Your personal vendetta with Newt is pathetic and low class.
 Its uneeded, beyond the pale and is just making you and your site stink.
 

You are sure that your trio of villains is NOT a majority of the voters?

I’m sorry, TR. Gingrich, like Rick Perry, waged a candidacy badly, in such a way that his campaign became the receptacle for the support for a lot of people who opposed Romney, but in fact the campaign prevented them from supporting the candidate (Santorum) who had the best chance of beating Romney.

Perry’s foolish decision to keep going after Iowa — but then to quit two days before the South Carolina primary — was an example of how his campaign served as a distraction. Perry then endorsed Newt, whose campaign’s viability imploded somewhere between Florida and Nevada. Yet, like Perry, Gingrich kept going long enough to distract people from the real choice in the race: Romney vs. Santorum.

It’s possible — looking back now — to wonder if there was ever any chance that anyone could have beaten Romney, whose overwhelming money advantage ultimately proved decisive. But if there ever was a chance, it was Santorum. People should have recognized that sooner than they did, and you will excuse me for bearing a bit of a grudge. Also, remember: Dede Scozzafava.

Since the race for the GOP Nod is over and you’ll have to hold your nose and vote for Willard in the Fall, why not cast your Primary vote for whoever you really wanted – at least, you get that small satisfaction out of this whole micheghas.

Thanks for the brilliant insights, Clyde.  Your mom’s calling: she wants you to take the clothes out of the dryer, but don’t try to fold them ’cause you always do it wrong…oh, and let her know what you want her to pack for your lunch tomorrow.

Then why do you keep coming back here?

I wish you a speedy recovery Zilla.  Thanks for voting.  

I’m on my country’s team. I wish the GOP was.

 But I won’t have to hold my nose to vote for Mitt. I will do so proudly. A hell of a lot more than I did for McCain in 2008, when I only voted because of Palin on the ticket. It’s different now, we’ve had four years of Obama, and I’m ready to get that POS out of there. Mitt, for all his faults, has plenty of good qualities. I choose to focus on them.

 Perry could have beaten Obama if he hadn’t done so godawful in the debates, and in the meantime he distracted support from Bachmann, who despite what Adjoran and others say was more than qualified, and possibly could have beat Obama.

Cain could have beat Obama, but he let his woman troubles foil him because he didn’t handle them in an appropriate manner.

Gingrich could have beaten Obama if he had focused on Obama and the left while he was up in the polls, instead of attacking Romney through sheer anger and petulance.

Santorum could have beaten Obama, but he screwed up too in innumerable ways which I’m sick of talking about, other than to say his overall chances were no better than anybody else, and not as good as some. He just benefited, if you want to call it that from being the last “conservative” standing.

Hell, Paul even, maybe, could have beaten Obama if he hadn’t taken such an extremist, pacifist, suicidal position on Iran and the Middle East in general.

“If” “woulda” “coulda” “shoulda” all that is fine if you are writing an alternative history novel. But this is real life, and Romney is going to be the nominee. And by the way, there’s something to be said for being able to raise vast sums of money when you’re going up against an incumbent president. Where would Rick’s vast sums of money come from, church bake sells?

There’s an underscore to Rick Perry’s poor judgement, he endorsed RINO David Dewhurst and left Ted Cruz swinging in the wind.  Out, screaming, rageous.
