Dobson, Wildmon, Bauer call emergency meeting

Newt brought out the cudgel in NH today; he is going to be cutting throats as is his practice.

This is going to get real nasty before it ends.

I have felt for a long time that there is enough hostility towards Romney from the rightists that he could not win the nomination: he seems to have peaked out in most areas at below 50%, though NH may be a big win. Too many conservatives I know do not like him; in fact, they like him less than they liked McCain.

How will he do in Dixie? That is the lodestar for modern republicanism and if he can't get significant support there, I don't see how he gets nominated, regardless of what the party regulars want.

So what happens if he can't get the votes to get the nomination and none of the others have as many as he does?

This could get really crazy.
 
It is a long time until the convention and this should not be a coronation. Let them battle like Barry and Hillary did. Then we can break out the styrofoam columns.
 
It looks like there will be a meeting of many evangelical stooges this weekend at a ranch west of Houston to convince God to nominate anyone but Romney. Has the GOP gone psycho?More than 150 leaders in the conservative evangelical Christian community are getting together Friday and Saturday at a private ranch west of Houston in a last-ditch effort to derail Mitt Romney's march to the Republican nomination.

The meeting, which will feature state and regional leaders as well as prominent pastors and national-profile evangelical stars, is not intended as a Romney-bashing event, says Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council and a big voice among conservative evangelicals.

"Some have portrayed this as an anti-Romney rally, a bash-Mitt weekend," says Perkins, who has become the de facto spokesman for the supposed-to-be-secret event. "It's not."

"What is driving it is discomfort with Mitt Romney among evangelicals, and the search for another candidate," he said. Some evangelicals see this as their last chance to stop Romney, with the South Carolina primary just a week after their meeting.

The list of possible alternatives to Romney, who already has wins under his belt in Iowa and New Hampshire:

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who finished within eight votes of Romney in Iowa.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, an early evangelical favorite now barely registering in preference polls.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, whose redemption story has appealed to some evangelicals. But some say he's hurt himself with recent attacks on Romney's private-equity work.

What, no I Heart Huckaby?

So will con Christians go to hell if they don't follow this edict from the evangelical version of the College of Cardinals?
 
Disappointing. It's looking less and less likely that my dream ticket will run in opposition to Obama-Perry/Palin. I'm still holding out hope.
 
Well, well, well, this is interesting. Santorum placed a distant 3rd in S. Carolina. Will Dobson, Wildmon, et al now ask him to bow out so that they can unite behind the thrice-married Gingrich?
 
Shiner: That is true, we're only in the first inning of a long primary season that could lead to the first open GOP convention since 1976. I was just rather surprised with Santorum's mediocre showing in SC in view of the support he was supposedly getting from Dobson, Wildmon, etc.
 
I wonder what Sanctorum gets out of this.

It's gonna save WIllard a lot of coin. How much will find its way to Rick's pocket?
