A Romney Victory Is Not a Certainty by Any Means

Drudge Report shows Obama beating Romney in swing states if the election were held today, by 47% to 45%.  RealClearPolitics.com also shows a number of polls, the average of which shows Obama ahead by an average of 2.7%.

It's hard to believe the American people could be that dumb, but that's the world we live in.  In spite of the passage of Obamacare, in spite of a continuing recession with high unemployment, the sheeple support incompetence and an anti-American president.  

Romney is being criticized for not attacking Obama with any energy or force.  Like McCain, he apparently believes that being "a gentleman" is more important than saving the country from socialism.  A candidate without strong core beliefs and principles just doesn't have the heart to mud-wrestle with a street-fighting punk like Obama.

I sometimes wonder if the Establishment GOP supports weak candidates because they either don't really care who wins, or don't strenuously oppose "progressive" politics.  In any case, if Obama is re-elected, it is time to create a Third Party who will support true conservative candidates.  Yes, I know that third parties generally don't win, but how does that make them different from the GOP?

If America is over, it's because Americans want it that way.  As for me, I think I'll rejoin the League of the South and support secession.  I really don't care to be a part of the United Socialist States of America.

Newt Scores Big In South Carolina

Wow.  Newt Gingrich, no matter what you might think of him otherwise, is a fighter.  He was determined to stick it to Mitt Romney and did so in the South Carolina primary today.

Per Doug Ross Journal:

Yes, Mitt Romney lost by 31 points.
40% Gingrich
27% Romney
18% Santorum

The anti-establishment candidates -- Gingrich and Santorum -- literally crushed Mitt Romney 58 percent to 27 percent.

Don Surber has more details here.

What does this mean?  It's hard to say at this point, but I suppose it means that Newt isn't through yet, and Mitt Romney may not be the inevitable nominee after all.

The race just got a lot more interesting.
