GOP Primary Megathread!

[Phillip V]

'Appealing to the Hispanic vote in Florida, Mr. Romney on Wednesday launched a Spanish-speaking ad narrated by his son, with a few words in Spanish from the candidate himself.'

¡Ay, ay, ay, no es bueno!

Let's not forget that Romney's father was Mexican-born, living his early years there. Romney still has dozens of cousins in Mexico. Clearly, we need to demand his birth certificate.

Then I suppose I must change accordingly.

How do you plan to game it now that Paul is in 2nd?

You mean Gingrich?   Gingrich is in second, right?

Heh, I dunno.

After the firing people thing and dog thing, I'm considering voting for Romney now.

The goals are actually dual: 1) extend the primary contest and the period of internecine conflict for as much as possible, weakening the surviving candidate; 2) attempt to secure the nomination of an unelectable person.

Gingrich and Romney are the only big guys I feel are remotely electable--unfortunately, they appear to be the only ones likely to win the nomination.  However, Romney may now be the less electable of the two in November, even if he may be the most "nominable" of the two as far as the GOP is concerned.

I think I'll vote for whoever's doing worse closer to the primary, Romney or Gingrich.  Gingrich is proving effective in fucking Romney's shit up.  On the other hand, if Gingrich is doing very well, I really don't want him nominated.  I dunno, I can't put my finger on it, but a Gingrich run makes me slightly worried.

Hell, I might vote for Paul.

Man, voting for people you want to win sure is a lot easier than voting for people just to sabotage them.

My bad.  I misunderstood Cinco's post.

Just the tip of the iceberg.
Want to start looking at my electoral map again?

[Razgovory]

Yeah, nobody cares.

It's right back there in your previous post, if I never need to refer to it again. Thanks

Apparently Romney does worse things than merely abuse dogs!

Mitt Romney est très beau.

Mitt Romney speaks French

I kept waiting for the bit when he was going to say "Royaumé-Uni nul points"

I just got my absentee ballot in the mail. I have absolutely no idea who to vote for. My preferred candidate is Huntsmen, but odds are decent he will be out of the race by then. I really don't like any of the other candidates. I might go with Cain as a throwaway vote. Romney will probably have the election wrapped up anyways by the time Florida votes in a couple weeks.

[Sheilbh]

I think Huntsman's planning to stay until Florida.  He doesn't stand any chance in SC and apparently his wife's from Florida so they want to try and leverage that into votes.

Evangelicals, Seeking Unity, Back Santorum for Nomination

'Evangelical leaders pursued a last-ditch effort on Saturday to exert influence in the Republican presidential primary race, voting to support the candidacy of Rick Santorum in hopes of undercutting Mitt Romney's march to the nomination.'
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/15/us/politics/conservative-religious-leaders-seeking-unity-vote-to-back-rick-santorum.html

A week before the South Carolina primary, a group of more than 100 influential Christian conservatives gathered at a ranch here and voted overwhelmingly to rally behind Mr. Santorum. An organizer described the vote as an "unexpected supermajority," a decision that was intended to help winnow the Republican field and consolidate the opposition to Mr. Romney.

[CountDeMoney]

Yeah...that's not gonna happen.
