Intrade – Mitt Romney to win the 2012 Florida Primary is 91.8% probable
Apparently the debate tonight didn’t help Newt at all. In fact, Mittens Romneycare surged to a 92% chance of winning Florida.
If he wins, this will be portrayed as closing the deal for him, and it may well do so.
In which case, let me be clear. I would support, work for, contribute to, and back Newt to the hilt as the GOP nominee.
I would hold my nose and vote for Saint Santorum, although I think that, although he has no chance of winning the nomination, he stayed in and helped destroy Newt’s chances. So I’ll vote for him, miserable pecksniffian crapweasel that he is, although I won’t work for him, support him otherwise, donate to him, talk him up, or do anything else for him. And if I have to make the effort of going to the polls in order to vote for him, rather than simply filling out an absentee ballot, I probably won’t bother.
Mittens Romneycare? I won’t vote for him. Period. Or do anything else for him. Why should I? Mittens Romneycare, Barry Obamacare? Mittens VAT, Barry Tax Anything that Moves? Mittens I’m a Progressive? Barry I’m a Socialist?
What’s the difference?
If the GOP is operating on the premise that I will vote for any piece of shit they try to cram down my throat because Barack Obama is Satan, guess again.
I didn’t think the Stupid Party could find a way to lose an election that my fucking dog could win, but as Friedrich Schiller (and Isaac Asimov) noted: Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.
I’m not so sure Intrade is that skillful. To me it seems to follow MSM trends, more than reflect any sort of useful cross section of the public.
Well, there’s a bit of hope yet for Newt, though it’s not very much -
Too bad; I really would like to be able to work for and vote for a clear and useful choice in a Presidential election again…
Ah, well – just more time and effort available to work on State-level and Congressional issues and campaigns.
I’ll never vote for Newt because he strapped his dog’s carrier to the roof of his car and drove for 12 hours.
That was Mitt, not Newt, Growler.
I will not vote for Romney, I do not trust the man. I don’t believe he can win. Sadly, should he manage to acquire the nomination, I suspect more and more voters will see this as he leaps back leftward after the convention–with his supporters nervously rationalizing it as him ‘moving to the center’ for the general. His support will fall back to it’s base–and Obama will waltz back into the White House crowing–not that’s he’s defeated the Massachusetts Moderate, but that he defeated the Tea Party.
