[Gman]

winner take all!

He's getting increasingly over the top and headed to the point of oblivion shortly. Who will be the lucky DU'er to win it all!

Grand Prize: A night of brews with the Moran guy.

2. As soon as the PTB realize that GOP women will quietly enter the polling booth

and vote for Obama and lie about it later because of Santorum's obvious hatred of anything female and his insistence that Vatican dogma become civil law.

They're thick as planks, of course, so it might take a while. But once it sinks in, they will destroy him any way they can.

3. I'm seeing signs of this right now. I'll say April 1. n/t

4. He'll last slightly longer than the previous 10 front-runners for one reason:

There's nobody left except Mitt and Ron Paul for the voters to prefer. Little Ricky is the last in line

5. I think Michigan primary

what's 2nd prize?

14. How about free, unlimited, uncensored, mandatory no banning, posting rights at freerepublic.com

that other place.

18. It would be good if Santorum won Michigan; to make Romney look bad. THEN implode right after

That way he takes out BOTH of them

[DCBob]

6. Super Tuesday.

He will drop out after very disappointing results.

7. The next debate is tomorrow right?

I predict some bus tires for sale friday morning. They will have a weird, santorum-shaped depression in the bottom of them.

8. tonight at 8pm eastern.

12. Doh!

thanks for the heads up!

9. i think even if SAntorum ends up losing the NOmination he will stay around hoping for 2016

unlike Sarah Palin who is more of an attention whore SAntorum really believes his shit and probably thinks he is doing god's work or some shit.

[nevergiveup]

10. It may happen this evening during the debate.

I do not believe Ricky wants to be the nominee of his party or president. The higher his approval numbers have gone up the crazier he has gotten on the campaign trail. Any man serious about winning his party's nomination does not make batshit crazy statements and then double down on them the next day. Rick Santorum is dumb with a little bit of added crazy. The chances of him winning the nomination, IMHO, are zero.

[Gman]

13. That's what I'm thinking

after tonight when he goes completely batshit crazy.

11. I'm betting on period between tonight and evening of Super Tuesday.

15. October 1

I think there's a 50-percent chance he'll win the nomination--the Republicans are running four people no one likes very much, and Santorum is the last not-Romney left standing. If the teabaggers get their way, which is possible, the not-Romney will go on to the general.

The problem with Santorum, at least as far as the GOP is concerned, is he will fuck every downticket candidate they've got. Republicans are NOT going to go to the polls and cast protest votes for President Obama, they will stay home. Democrats, OTOH, will go to the polls in droves to vote for Obama in order to keep Santorum out of the White House.

If Santorum is the nominee, expect the "tax cuts and deregulation" wing of the GOP to launch a third-party bid...probably the Constitution Party, if I were to lay bets on it. They'll choose someone like Lamar Alexander or Dick Lugar--you know, one of the grand old men of the GOP--to run as this party's nominee. Either one could siphon off enough Republican votes to hand Obama every state.

This may sound ludicrous, but consider: the most important task facing the GOP right now is getting rid of the Tea Party. Running a third-party candidate against Santorum would do it.

16. Halloween eve

Straightjacket, rubber room, 72 hour mental health hold.... It won't be pretty.

17. July 3rd

I think he will go over the top on the weekend of the 4th. By then it should be clear that he is going to lose to Rmoney but he won't be eliminated quite yet.
