Subscribe to RSSWith Mitt Romney looking to be the likely nominee, Rick Santorum looks to Texas in hopes to help his chances.
With Mitt Romney's win in Wisconsin, perception shifted in this campaign -- from Romney as struggling front runner to likely nominee.
The question then became if and when Rick Santroum would drop out.
But Santorum, who met with conservatives at his home in Virginia Thursday, showed no signs of ending his campaign.
Instead, in that meeting, Santorum backers were trying to chart a way forward. The strategy they came up with hinges on: (1) getting Newt Gingrich out of the race, and (2) getting Texas to change its rules on how it allocates delegates from proportional to winner take all.
Well, if that that sounds like a lot, that's because it is. And it's not likely to happen.
Gingrich said there's no chance he's dropping out and telling his delegates to go to Santorum, and Texas would need a waiver from the Republican National Committee to change its rules. But RNC sources tell NBC News there is little change of that happening.

Willard didn't win sh!t, this week, last week or next week!
And he isn't going to win in November either...
All the propping him up by the MSM isn't going to change a thing!
The sooner you realize Willard is the most flawed candidate in decades, the easier it will be to say hello to 4 more years of President Obama!
The sooner you realize Willard is the most flawed candidate in decades
Just because you say silly stupid things doesn't make them true.
Romney has more talent and smarts in his pinky finger than Obama does in his entire useless body.
Obama is NOTHING. He is a proven FAILURE.
If you look up SUCCESS in the dictionary Romney's picture should be there.
Silly you say? lol
What's silly is you Raab, frantically trying to impersonate someone with 1/2 a functioning brain!
Now tap your ruby slippers together 3 x's and keep trying to BS yourself!
Repost from earlier, compliments of the collapse cowards;
I have been saying since it became apparent Willard was going to wrap up the GNOP nomination, they couldn’t have chosen a more flawed candidate.
Seems the more America gets to know the thirty faces of Mittens, the less they like him.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I’m complaining or anything… lol
I believe this is what is known as a serious case of buyer’s remorse…
How’s that ABO thingy working out for you all? ;o)
Maybe Anne should hold off on measuring for the drapes for a while… lol
On a positive note, after November, Willard can go back to being a vulture capitalist and the rest of us can forget about him like a bad dream!
Keep dreaming the dream sister.
Once Romney is the nominee he will be unloading on Obama and the media will not be able to cover up all his failures. He is going to sink like a rock and take a beating like Carter did.
Feisty, so true. Romney will be the nominee by default. Wow, what an energizing convention -- Especially if Paul Ryan is VP -- how exciting his speech will be!
Rob in ma - Romney already has so much "misspeak" he will spend his entire campaign backtracking on what he's already said. And, how totally sad you don't realize women remember and vote accordingly. His dislike of women - unless he can tell them what to do - is beyond telling. But you're right on one note - the media will NOT be able to cover up all of Romney's failures or lies or flip-flops. And, putting an elevator for the car in your house - while thousands are out of work and hungry - what moron would do that and expect to run for President. Oh wait - that would be moron Romney!
Obama/Biden 2012
Fiesty Redhead, I understand why you are called fiesty. Go girl!
Thanks susq4097 - I will never back down when it comes to common sense & the truth! ☺
Girl Power 2012!!!
PS: Where did my little buddy Raaab scurry off too? lol
That would merit a great deal of respect, except that the vast majority of what you've posted is purely opinion that you treat as fact. Less opinion and more factual information have a greater effect on swaying others' decisions when it comes down to election time.
Rob is heading for some deep disappointment this coming November when President Obama is reelected by a landslide against the uninspiring Etch-A-Sketch.
Here are the most recent polls pitting the GOP's current losers against our president. President Obama continues to lead them all:

Mitt is winning the money and organization game on the Republican side. That is all. Republicans aren't coming out to vote. If Santorum and Paul go you will see less Republicans come out to vote. He isn't well liked even by his own party. He will cost Republicans House and Senate seats this fall. Which is something I am looking forward to. We need Nancy Pelosi back in the Speaker's chair. We have lots of work to do. That drunk Boehner needs to go back to spending the majority of his time at the bar where he seems comfortable. Leave the work to the Lady Speaker. She is capable of doing five times the work of any man in that chamber.
I think its funny to see Romney trying his hardest to become a racist cracker !
Rasmussen poll of likely voters, which is superior to other polls of just voters:
Obama 46 Romney 46
And it will only get worse for Obama!
Romney-McDonnell 2012
Bob in Virginia - you wish!
Obama/Biden 2012
...or is it superior simply because you like the result?
I'd be interested to see what methodology they are using to determine who is a "likely voter". Sadly, however, the only way we'll really determine who is a "likely voter" is who actually shows up in November.
Let the record show that this week marked the week that our Federal courts became just another partisan political tool when Jerry Smith of the Fifth Circuit issued his order to the Justice Department.
After years of criticism about "activist judges", the GOP cheered wildly when an unelected judge played partisan politics with the President and his right to express his opinion.
Is this how a judge should act?
my perception of mitty keeps changing, keeps flip-flopping...
Da Noid:
I thought it was surreal that a federal circuit appeals judge would make the Justice Department respond to his concern that Obama said something he perceived as mean or unfair. Obama just said the Supreme Court should be cautious when striking down legislation. Everybody agrees with that. Judge Smith must be a crackpot. I'm sure Holder wondered if he was serious at first. You give Teabaggers big jobs and it's always an embarrassment. The new members of the Republican Party and their appointees will form another dirty chapter in our American history. They will be remembered as something akin to Joseph McCarthy and Lester Maddox.
He said a good deal more than that.
Suggesting that striking down the law would be unprecedented is certainly not true. And further suggesting that it should be upheld solely because of the manner in which it was passed is similarly untrue. If it is upheld, it should be upheld solely based on its constitutionality.
In fact the new Republican Party is Lester Maddox and George Wallace. Strom Thurmond was ahead of his time. People like Jim Demint just use the media more adroitly.
AnaBanana, Right on point... I agree.
feisty- I think we should show them some Caterpillar Power 2012. I think Priebus's idiotic attempt at a metaphor revealed the true thinking of the RNC: we want everyone to believe the dems make inequality a fiction, and we want women back into the canyon of ignorance and servitude.
Good luck, RNC. You are already failing at trying to herd a bunch of intelligent and independent cats.
Wow, a Mormon Bishop, that will get the religious right energised, no?
Romney talks out of both sides of his mouth. He's no better than what we have now - and that is pathetic.
Where do these leftwing nuts come from. They back a commie/muslim person "aka"hussein obama a so-called man that doesnt even know who his daddy was btw ther isnt any record of his commie mother ever getting married, over an American. Talk about stupidity these idiots ought to move to the middle east and i dont mean in the U.S.
Hey rule of nine A Mormon Bishop beats a muslim iman
Not sure the groups both have a history of violence and criminal behavior.
Look at Joseph Smith. A criminal. Lets not to forget the murders under the banner of heaven.
Just a reminder.
Obama isn't a middle eastern cleric either.
Well beyond democrap I doubt you were alive when these men you yack about were doing their job. You most likely havent a true clue to history only what you were taught by the unionized schools via the nea which was started by the red party to gain control over young minds. Joseph McCarthy was right on about the movie & entertainment industry and their communist agenda and they still support that agenda today. Maybe you need to talk with someone that knows the facts and not fiction.
As a woman I would like to know if Romney thinks I have to be connected to a Morman Man to get to heaven. I was told this is part of the Morman belief!
You need to be married to one.
You can marry a dead one so it's not really a problem.
Romney is a high priest so he should know.
Perhaps Santorum and Gingrich needs to hold on to market share similar to Sarah Palin.
Loose oppportunities to sell their products with less time in the race.
The shock factor that they could actually be there keeps the story interesting.
Perhaps the GOP benefits by distracting from Romney?
The low life Ceasar Obumass administration and their media pimps? Amazing stuff. They cannot not win on the Messiah's record, so they are reduced to this.
