I think that Romney is starting to lose his progress, because he is constantly changing his views. The other candidates have strong supporters that back up their beliefs, while Mit doesn't have hardly any.
ReplyDeleteThere is no clear idea as to whom will secure the Republican presidential nomination. Mitt Romney is leading in the number of deligates almost double of what Santorum has. The problem for Romney is that he is still favord less amoung middle and lower class Americans, who make up most of the countries voting population. Santorum on the other hand connects very well with the American people. I beleive this race will lead to the Republican convention, there of which Republican leaders will realize Romney is to out of touch with the American people and Santorum will secure the nomination, even with less deligates going into the convention. It is also beileved that this race has shown to many flaws in the candidates, which means the convention could possibly give rise to a completely new candidate.
ReplyDeleteI think the Republicans will chose Rick Santorum as their nominee. He is the only candidate who is always honest and doesn't have to cover up lies. He values strongly his beliefs, and no one can find negative facts about him. I like how he is blunt with his answers, and he doesn't "beat around the bush."
ReplyDeleteMitt Romney is still in the lead but not by much, Rick Santorum is comming up behind him faster than he would like. If he wins it would be beacuse of a few more poeple on his side. People say he needs to kick it into gear if he wants to win and has to get more people including major people on his side to win.
ReplyDeleteAs of now in the Republican party Mitt Romney is leading in the number of deligates almost double of what Santorum has. The problem for Romney is that he is still favord less amoung middle and lower class Americans, who make up most of the countries voting population. Santorum on the other hand connects very well with the American people.
ReplyDeleteI think they will choose Rick Santorum but that can still change. He has stong beliefs and values. He just tells it how it is.
ReplyDeleteRight now the candidates are both preaty close. But Romney is starting to lose his progress because he keeps changing his views. The other candidates have strong views and beliefs while Romney changes his mind all the time.

ReplyDeleteThere is no clear idea as to whom will secure the Republican presidential nomination.I think that Romney is starting to lose his voters. Even though Ron Paul is in last he is still hanging in there and keeps trying to get more votes. I think he will eventually go independent once it gets to the end. I think they will choose Rick Santorum but that can still change.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Mitt Romney is in the lead, Rick Santorum has a strong following of conservatives, which could put him into the position of Republican Presidential Candidate, yet. Santorum is favored by lower and middle class Americans, while Romney is perceived as a wealthy man who has never experienced middle class life. If Rick Santorum can improve his debating skills, I believe that Rick Santorum will have a real shot at the presidency.

ReplyDeleteMitt Romney has he secures the most delegates, but it appears his campaign has figured talk of numbers isn't helping him get there. He head to the polls in three states.
ReplyDeleteThe republican race for office is getting much closer. The longer time front runner Mit Romney is now loosing ground to Rick Santorum. Newt Gingrich is still in the race but is mostly there to take votes away from other candidates. I think that the republicans will choose Rick Santorum because of his strong values.
ReplyDeleteMitt Romney does not have the conservative vote like the other canidates witch could prove to be an obsticle for him. Rick Santorum however has the conservative voters witch could help him. Although Rick Santorum is behined Mitt Romney by about 200 delegates I think he has a good chance of becoming the nominee.
ReplyDeleteI believe mitt romney will come out on top, although mitt does have a credibillity problem against conservative voters.Romney said even if one of his two main challengers drops out -- a proposition both Santorum and Gingrich have posed to one another -- he'll pick up some of their votes on the way to the nomination.
ReplyDeleteThe Republican president nomination is getting closer. As of now Mitt Romney is in the lead but there still is a chance for the other candidates to win. Most people said they they will not vote for Mitt because he is out of touch with the the low to middle class. Now Santorum is trying to divert Romney's path because he would get the nomination at a brokered convention because undecided delegates will not nominate Romney.

ReplyDeleteI think that Newt Gingrich will be close because he is still in the race to win and that he wil be a lot better then Mit Romney because Mit Romney will not really do a lot for us. and i believe that Newt Gingrich will do a lot more for our country as a whole.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I think that the Republicans will choose Rick Santorum, he is the most honest. He doesn't have to cover up any lies. I like how is blunt with his answers and doesn't give a bunch of false negatives just to fill space and make himself seem smart. Romney is obviously ignorant...he may have double the support of Santorum, however, he lacks the support of middle and lower class people.

ReplyDeleteMitt Romney is in the lead of the republican party currently, but Rick Santorum has a community of faithful conservative followers that could turn the race around in his favor. Newt Gingrich is just an annoying old guy that is taking up votes.
ReplyDeleteRomney and Santorum believe that the Official English language should be the only language. I don't really have a favorite. I just want to get this over with and have a freaking president. Romney is in the lead, but Santorum is a close second. Ok
ReplyDeleteI think Mitt Romney is the strongest candidate in the runnings. Rick Santorum in my mind is following close behind and i believe these two candidates are the only ones that have a chance anymore besides Obama
ReplyDeleteI think that the nomination could go any wya. All the candidates have had their wins in certain states and now i guess we just have to wait and see who will win.
ReplyDeletei think that rick santorum will end up winning and newt gingrich will back him. mitt romney will fall behind. newt gingrich is in the race to hold votes that he can later turn over to rick santorum. rick santorum will gain popularity.
ReplyDeleteEven though Romney leads Santorum and Gingrich in most of the polls and in the fight to get the most delegates before the GOP convention in August, there is still plenty of time for the votes to change. Santorum is in a very close second behind Romney and may close that gap and end up winning the nomination process.
ReplyDeleteRomney is that he is liked less amoung middle and lower class Americans like our state who make up a lot of the voting population. Santorum is liked a lot with the American people so I believe he will be the nominee.
ReplyDeleteEven though Romney has more support than Santorum, I think that Santorum will come out on top. Romney doesn't have the conservative voters like Santorum does and so with being behind the conservative voters will help out Santorum more. Santorum is more like in the lower and middle classes.
ReplyDeletei think romney will get it but i dont think it matters cuz i dont think either of them will be able to beat obama
ReplyDeleteKayla:
ReplyDeleteI think that Santorum will probably get win president. But I hope Newt Gringrich will win.
Mitt Romney is still leading the GOP with twice as many votes as the next candidate, Rick Santorum. However, Mitt is starting to slip with Santorum appealling to the middle and lower class citizens. Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul are still officially in the race but they don't have much of a chance. They are only stealing votes from Romney and Santorum. I think that it will be a tight race between Romney and Santorum. I hope Santorum wins.
ReplyDeleteMitt Romney is still in the lead of the GOP race, but, I think that he is a jerk as a person, and has some really stupid veiws. He is a complete liar and changes his views by the day just to satisfy people, all talk. My main man Santorum however, is my Homey G dog. He is straight up holmes, and I think that he will be the chosen one and bring balance to the force.
ReplyDeleteI think the Republicans will chose Rick Santorum as their nominee. He is the only candidate who is honest and doesn't have to cover up lies. He he has strong beliefs, and no one can find negative facts about him. I like how he is blunt with his answers, and he doesn't answer indirectly.
