2012-03-05T10:52:00.000-08:00

Super Tuesday is here again for the Republican GOP Presidential Primary race. It's now time for Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich to face off in the biggest day yet for them.

Republican GOP Presidential Primary Candidates Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich

DailyPaul.com - Ten states vote on Super Tuesday:

Alaska (caucus)
Georgia (primary)
Idaho (caucus)
Massachusetts (primary)
North Dakota (caucus)
Ohio (primary)
Oklahoma (primary)
Tennessee (primary)
Vermont (primary)
Virginia (primary)

What will happen to Newt Gingrich after super tuesday? Well I think it may be time for him to drop out if he doesn't win a lot of states and pick up a lot of ground. CNN - It means that Super Tuesday is near, and Newt Gingrich is running out of time and space to get his juice back.
The former speaker of the U.S. House hasn't won a state since South Carolina on January 21, pretty much ceding the headlines to Mitt Romney vs. Rick Santorum. He pins his hope for a return to marquee status on two things: a big win in Georgia and big increases in prices at the gas pump.
"I keep coming back," he said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I have twice been the front-runner in the national polls and with the gasoline, and I think we're coming back for a third time."

What the Main stream media is failing to tell you but Ron Paul will tell you is that he's doing much better then they will admit. What's important about this race is Delegates. We might have a broken GOP Convention which means Delegates become even more powerful. The real Delegate count is much higher for Ron Paul then what is broadcast on main stream news. RunRonPaul - On CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” Texas Rep. Ron Paul sounds optimistic about the rest of the Republican nominating process. He predicts he will obtain a “majority of delegates” in Tuesday’s bundle of nominating contests.

Spending the day campaigning in Alaska, Rep. Paul told host Bob Schieffer that he is looking to win three of the seven “Super Tuesday” states: Alaska, North Dakota and Idaho. Those three states are holding caucuses on Tuesday, and Paul is sticking with his strategy of focusing on the small caucus states that rely on activist voters.

Bloomberg Businessweek - Tomorrow is “Super Tuesday,” the latest—and possibly last—significant event on the Republican primary calendar. Eleven states will hold primaries, including such major ones as Ohio and Georgia, and 419 delegates will be at stake. Cable news will make a huge deal of it. John King may already be preloading ephedrine in preparation.

Republicans criticize Obama over Iran Situation to gain more votes on Super Tuesday. The Jerusalem Post - WASHINGTON – Ahead of the 10-state Super Tuesday GOP primary contest, Republican candidates slammed US President Barack Obama’s stance on Iran.

Tuesday’s votes, which include the big prizes of Ohio, Georgia and Tennessee, could significantly tilt the race for nomination given the large number of states and delegates at play.

Romney claims to have the advantage on Super Tuesday... I think not, we've seen it before that he thinks he's going to do good and then loses big. Realclearpolitics.com - "Heading into the Super Tuesday contests when more than 400 delegates will be at stake, Mitt Romney’s advisors argued that the momentum in the Republican presidential nominating race was shifting in their favor after their win Saturday in Washington state." What the Romney camp isn't realizing is that Ron Paul actually got the most Delegates out of Washington state. For example one precinct had 8 voters, 7 for Romney and 1 for Ron Paul and guess who got the Delegate.. Ron Paul as his 1 supporter stayed and went through the process to become the Delegate.

As far as Rick Santorum I don't think he's got much of a chance to do well on Super Tuesday, he keeps going on about birth control and things like that that won't solve our Country's real issues of climbing national debt, budget deficits, economy, falling dollar, and more. This will catch up to him and I think Super Tuesday it will start to.

The Super PAC's could have a big influence on Super Tuesday as they have money some of the campaigns don't to spend in states to help the Candidates win. Huffingtonpost.com - In total, independent groups, which are supposedly unaffiliated with the campaigns, have spent $11.9 million across the Super Tuesday states, according to records held by the Federal Election Commission. Most of that money has gone towards television and radio ads that are almost entirely negative.

This is certainly going to be an exciting Super Tuesday and many questions will be answered. I think we may be down to 3 after tomorrow.. We will see.

Washington Post - Miami Dolphins fans want Peyton Manning as their quarterback and they’re willing to stop traffic to get their point across.

Take a look at Manningtomiami.com and see what it's about.

ESPN - Yes, Manning should be the next superstar player to land in Miami. The Colts are expected to release Manning before his $28 million bonus is due in March. Indianapolis holds the No. 1 overall pick, which will kick off the Andrew Luck era while simultaneously ending the Manning era.

It's obvious how great a player Peyton Manning is after seeing how terrible the Colts did in 2011-2012 season without him.

Ron Paul May Be Mitt Romney's VP or Will He?

2012-02-24T13:08:00.000-08:00

Mitt Romney may be looking to have Ron Paul as his VP but don't count on it. It appears Mitt Romney may be trying this just to win over some of Ron Paul's supporters. The Establishment will never let him become VP, the only way for him to get in office is for him to get voted in.
From infowars.com Former Ron Paul staffer Lew Rockwell says that talk of an alliance between Mitt Romney and Ron Paul is an “establishment trick” to smear Paul by making him appear as a sell out. Read the entire article here

Ron Paul and Mitt Romney answer questions during a Republican Debate

Lew Rockwell who is a former Ron Paul staffer talking about Mitt Romney said "Just because he looks good in a suit doesn’t mean that he’s not one of the top creeps, otherwise he wouldn’t be supported by the Republican establishment and by the establishment in general, so no we don’t want anything to do with him except to oppose him"

The Washington Post says The two teamed up Wednesday night to blast former senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) at the GOP presidential debate in Mesa, Ariz. And now, Paul’s national campaign chairman, Jesse Benton, confirms that the decision last week by the two campaigns to skip a March 1 CNN debate in Georgia was a closely-coordinated one.

Jessie Benton said this about Ron Paul and Mitt Romney missing the Georgia Debate. ”A lot of it just comes down to scheduling. Both of our campaigns, for example, had places, specific places we wanted our candidates to be on March 1st, and they weren’t in Georgia. Other states that were priorities for us. And so we talked it out and we said, ‘Hey, let’s present a united front and make sure our candidates can get where they need to be rather than being at the 22nd or 23rd debate in Georgia.’ That’s how we cooperate.”

So now the story continues, where it will go we'll just have to wait and see.
