I think that its still close enough for Newt not to be out yet, but why Rick and Paul are still in is just stupid to me.
Well, I guess this was going to give whoever won a pretty massive boost. The important thing is that this doesn't force anyone to drop out, though. Romney's in the lead, but given South Carolina, Gingrich isn't out of it yet.

Might as well face it, Romney will be the Republican nominee, and will be the most likely to beat Obama in the election. I supported Ron Paul, but he cannot win 
. So let's unite around Romney and Pwn Obama!

666?
Surely that must be some sort of a sign from God.

Not in my dimension.
I was expecting Gingrich to lose a lot of steam, but I'm surprised he still managed to get about a third of the votes.
Whoever seems likely to win, since it seems he wants a VP spot based on his speech tonight. He's moved quite a bit to the center since he started campaigning (center of the GOP, not in general, downplaying some of his more controversial viewpoints within the party).

Him in the VP spot would be as bad as Palin was in 08. And Ron Paul is too ideological to be under either Romney or Newt. I think the VP candidate will be a popular state governor.
I think you are right as well. Mitch Daniels is my bet if Christie and Rubio are being honest about not wanting it. I wouldn't rule out John Thune or Nikki Haley though.

Need a VP? Why not Zoidberg?
But seriously, NM gov Susana Martinez could be the VP. She's not too bad, and it would attract a lot of the female and latino vote.

I don't think Christie ever said he didn't want to be Veep, did he? He simply said he wasn't interested in the Presidency itself.

Possibly Romney, probably nobody. He's gone after Gingrich too much to really support him, and he doesn't seem like a Romney type of guy.
Eh, Daniels doesn't really strike me as being a VP. I don't think Christie will be picked, John Thune, at the moment, has no name recognition, and Nikki Haley gives me the impression of Sarah Palin lite. I'm thinking it will be Rubio or Tim Pawlenty, who has been working with Romney's campaign.
Agreed.
One of the problems with this campaign season is that post-primary bumps seem to fizzle out far more quickly than before (see Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina). I wouldn't be surprised if Romney's post-Florida bounce dissipates by Friday and the Nevada caucuses occur as if nothing happened.
Right on the Gringo's chances (my preferred nickname for him): if he holds the Southeast plus one or two more states, he can deny Romney the delegates to win outright and go to the convention.
To quote the guy in this thread with a pony avatar: eeeeyup.
