Question:
Is it possible, although not likely, that Santorum and Paul could rise from the ashes in the GOP primary?

Gingrich has risen like this one time in the past 4 months already. We shall see if he can maintain it. He has a LONG and very spotted record.

Romney has completely imploded over the last week or so. (In short: His main strength, "electability", has evaporated and his primary asset, his business experience, has become something of a liability due to his inability to explain himself clearly).

Santorum is STILL there (the people of Iowa voted for him).

Ron Paul is also STILL there (the only other guy besides Romney with national infrastructure and polling numbers that consistently say he could compete with Obama nationally).

It is POSSIBLE, Gingrich and Romney could destroy each other and leave Santorum and Paul. After watching SC, I'm starting to think anything is possible.

I wouldn't be suprised if the republicans ran a dark horse this year. This election is dividing the voting base, they need someone who all republicans can vote for if they want to get obama out of there.

Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are the only ones with the organization, resources, and volunteers to even have a chance. They are also the only ones on the ballot in several states (not just Virginia).



Santorum will probably drop out after Florida, and Gingrich after that.



Ron Paul 2012!

Paul no.



Santoum yes if not he will back newt.



Newt is the front runner and mitt has fallen and will start attacking newt but in the debates mitt will look like a fool and fail vs newt.

Santorum will be flushed down the toilet where he belongs and paul never has had a hope unless he has the guts to run as an independant. its between romney (most likely) and suumbab Newt

Looks like it. Newt is a one hit wonder and Romney has already failed to seize the nomination.

Anything is possible. The question should be, is is probable.
