Result: Richie Mitt won Florida.

I hope Santorum gets the nomination, for obvious reasons I think.

Originally posted by KunsooIt will be devastating for Romney to lose Michigan, which he probably will despite the fact his Dad was governor of Michigan and Romney grew up there, but the auto industry despises Mitt. I think as many analysts are saying that Super Tuesday will be a more telling point. I also think the problem for Santorum is that he is not viewed by the Republicans themselves as electable against the increasingly popular President Obama.
But if Romney loses Michigan, I don't know if he could come back from that. Santorum is raising some serious money now.
In the latest poll, Republicans were asked "Which Republican candidate do you think has the best chance of beating Barack Obama in the general election in November?" Their answer:
Romney 55%
Santorum 18%
Gingrich 14%
Paul 7%

It is that question, does the Republican evangelicals and social conservatives go with Santorum who they like, or with the lukewarm Romney who they don't like but so to increase the odds in their perception that the President will not be reelected which is their main concern.

Originally posted by moon1969You're overlooking Gingrinch, who doubtless is working on a comeback in southern states and could split the fascist vote with Sanatorium -- thus allowing Richie Mitt to squeak through by the skin of his swizzled-stick-sized dick on Pooper Scooper Tuesday.

A brokered convention would rock. It would seriously depress turnout in November among the Neanderthals in the GOP who can hold a thought for longer than two minutes.

Originally posted by SoothfastIt's amazing to me how the so-called "traditional family values" base of the Republican party apparently don't really care so much about family values.

The fact that Gingrich is such a serious candidate indicates they're not so much pro-family as they are anti-gay.

Originally posted by moon1969There is a poll out today which has Obama beating Romney in Ohio, I think, by 5 points and Santorum by 7. That's not a huge difference between Romney and Santorum. They are both nearly equally unelectable.

Originally posted by KunsooTrue, and I heard some similar numbers last night. Yet, I was not referring to Obama head-to-head numbers but instead perceived (not actual) electability by the Republicans for their candidates which I think is the biggest driver in who will get the nomination.

While the Obama head-to-head polls showing an improving Santorum may ultimately change the perception of the Republican rank-and-file on electability, they do not currently view or perceive Santorum as very electable. Many will vote in the primary for the candidate they perceive has the best chance to beat Obama.

A prominent Republican bails on Romney and backs Santorum.
