If Romney decides to allocate funds towards the Pennsylvania primary on April 24th to "crush" Santorum in his home state, I might have a little respect for the guy.
It's quite the dilemna for Romney though, do you save that money for the general election (because he's going to need it) or do you go "all-in" and get rid of Santorum once and for all?
If I'm advising him, I'm telling him to go "all-in" baby.

I would say at this point it is pretty much Romney. PA will likely be Santorum's last stand. Of course you have that select few that think Ron Paul is going to win it all. 
I don't think it matters who the Republicans put up, it will come down to people who want and receive the free stuff (they say they want those Obamabucks) verses the people who have to pay for it. I give the nod to Obama unless gas prices keeps climbing because the people that are paying for the free stuff is a shrinking number.

Obama is easy to beat. Sadly the republicans don't want to beat him. Romney will pull a mccain and throw the election. Fuel prices, lack of jobs, inflation, debt and healthcare will be the issues.
The republicans will hold the house and pickup the senate. We are screwed because Obama will likely get at least one more ussc pick in his next term.

A lot can happen between now and Nov. First of all, if ObamaCare gets shot down by SCOTUS it will be a huge hit to not only the linchpin of his presidency, but also his credibility - especially after the desperate and inflammatory remarks he recently made about the Court. Secondly, gas prices and his restrictive energy policy will come back to bite him. Last but not least is the Iran situation that has been moved off the front pages lately; you can bet your bottom dollar the Israelis still have that problem on their front burner in spite of Obama's efforts to defuse them and pretend Iran's nuke plans don't exist. If war breaks out in the middle east Obama is toast. His incompetence will have been exposed on domestic issues and foreign affairs that even the mainstream media can't ignore or cover up.I would say at this point it is pretty much Romney.

Too much like 2008. Julianni, Mcaine, need I go on with weak *** canidates that the repubs choose this is proof we need a third party and the Democrats or Republicans are not the saving grace of our country.
As a white independant I like to think and choose for myself. I make the following with total respect and sensitivity to the black comunity.
The Republicans had thier chance with Herman Kane who B.T.W. I like. They were using him as the token black man. They had no intention of seing him in office they just wanted to get the black friendly facade. Then as a thank you gift attempted to destroy him. I think the reason is that he as a CEO and would expect results unlike the lawer politicians on both sides who need the issues.
this is what ****es me off with politics its all abbout agenda not americans rights and intrests.
Lets face the fact we will have to grab our ankles for annother four years because, its like this,
Repulican, Conservitive, Right wing
Democrat, Liberal, Left wing
Both are wings of the same bird of prey.
Our big brother over reaching government

The GOP has to win some key states in Novenber to have any chance of defeating Obama. In 2008, Obama won Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. These are states the GOP normally carries in a presidential election. Well, except for Pennsylvania which swings back and forth between being a red state/blue state.
If the Republican Party cannot win in the South, it's over. The GOP must have Florida, Virginia and North Carolina.

Its impossible for us to win. Theres nothing but tyrants running the voting.

Naw...I doubt it. Probably has more to do with passing a couple of bills out of 600.
Can pretty much find that info out anywhere. With those results, you would pretty much be considered insignificant and the current voting numbers show that.
A lot of talk with basically no results. We have that in the White house now.
So if someone isn't behind Paul it is because they don't think for themselves? RP is not everyones cup of tea even if they don't listen to talk radio. Some Paul supporters do plenty to turn people off on him.

The good news is he said that he is only staying in the race to make sure Romney carries some conservative principles into the nomination. Think he is packing it in with very limited appearances. As least his family made some good money in the process.

When it comes to the Republican base, yes. Just take a look around in here. This is the Republican base and you are constantly bombarded with right-wing, fringe lunatic talking points from FoxNews and conservitive talk show hosts. I know, because I listen and watch them.
I whole heartedly agree with you. He may not be everyone's cup of tea but how do you know that for sure. He doesn't even come close to getting the face time these other clowns get on T.V. You personally have to go look for his information and people are just too d'mned lazy to do it themselves. They would rather have some pretty blonde talking head spoon feeding them and telling them what to think, or some bombastic, bloviating, self absorbed pig tell them what to think. Ron Paul is his own worst enemy, you know why? Because he has principles and he won't bow down to the so-called "kingmakers" of the Republican party such as Hannity, Limbaugh and others, that are more worried about their ratings and advertisers than they are of informing their audience. But that's what American's want and deserve.

Nope ... not necessarily ....
People may not support Dr. Paul because they are against the philosophy he espouses and stands for .... or any other number of reasons that one could possibly imagine ....
I recall one (so-called) "conservative" on here arguing (essentially) that a strict adherence to the Constitution was not a good thing .... apparently because this individual had such a low regard for the Founding Fathers as to believe them to be a bunch of dolts ....
Of course, that's actually a viewpoint that comes straight from The Left ... there is nothing whatsoever "conservative" about it ....
This sort of thing happens (IMNSHO) when one fails to understand the fundamental truths (which transcend time and place) that the document is based on ...
One also has a certain contingent of the populace who are utterly terrified by their fellow citizens .... and their fellow man generally .... these folks span the political divide and exist on both the Left and the Right ....
Those on the (extreme) Left want to take away all guns and engage in some sort of super-control of the economic activities (and to a lesser degree the social activities) of the citizens, making them wards of, and dependent on, the State ....
Those on the (extreme) Right see bogeymen everywhere - generally they tend to be "law and order" types, who will willingly lick the boots of anything in a uniform, and prefer a super-control of the social activities (and to a lesser degree the economic activities) of the citizens ....
Both are largely motivated by fear .... and will often excuse all manner of violations of the Constitution and the rule of law - provided that such violations comport with the ends they seek to achieve ....
They are actually more alike than they are different ....
Interestingly, in that vein, this very same individual referred to above could never even bring himself to acknowledge that the United States has ever "meddled" abroad .... apparently all such activities were, and are, always entirely justified ....
Again, this ideological viewpoint is straight out of Wilsonian Liberal Internationalism .... there's not a thing conservative about it ...
Anyone is certainly entitled to espouse whatever political ideologies they care to .... however, I for one would certainly appreciate it if folks who hold such views didn't try to pass themselves off as "conservative" .... they ain't, and no amount of whitewashing or self-serving propaganda will ever change that fact ....
It's really quite analogous to situation we have with Obama .... he will claim he isn't a socialist (or communist) all day long .... however that don't make it so ....
At least be honest about it .... just say proudly: "I'm a neo-con" ....
For pete's sake, do the right thing and own it .... and all the historical, intellectual, and ideological baggage that goes along with it ....
Surely true ... in many cases for quite obvious reasons ...
Other times, not so much ....
Well, yes .... there is that ....
One does have to weigh it, among other things, in the balance.
And apparently, increasingly, people are:

While I agree with Paul on almost all of his domestic policy. His foreign policy scares the bajibee's outta me.
I hope someone puts Paul in charge of the fed.. Now that would be fun and entertaining.. (and much needed)
