There has to be a time when Mitt considers calling it quits and throws in the towel...not worth it..

I wonder what the GOPers would do.....given the choices...Newt, Paul, and, Santorum.....?

Nx Nov....Would they just say "Frig it" and stay home?

Would they swallow the line and continue to support the Party?

Or, would they demand change within the Party...a swing toward ? Center? further Right?

I would venture to say they would move toward what works....toward Center and perhaps...

joining us Lefties/Progressives...

The smart ones can see the deterioting GOPer signs and plan their conversion asap....

Come, We Go Luau.....

Beat Obama. That's it. They'll worry about the rest of it later.

that she just couldn't vote for either candidate last time, so she just didn't vote in the 2008 Presidential election. I doubt she was the only one who couldn't bring themselves to vote McCain.

I expect it will be very much the same with Newtster or Mittens

edit to add, I don't think she'll vote only 'against Obama' as she is realizing the dreaded "Obamacare" is saving her a wad of cash every year (of which we repeatedly remind her every time she starts whining about Obama)

This isn't about "good sense" or even "good for the country".

This is about male ego,

Corporate Corruption,

and a Military/Industrial/Multinational Corporate Complex.

and even his advisers would advise against it right now. He's lost in two heavily conservative states so far but they're hardly representative of the entire country. If he keeps losing primaries, then he might drop out but he's got the organization and funds that the other candidates don't have. It's his to lose IMHO but the fact that social conservatives aren't quite rallying around him should worry him for the GE.
