Sunday Open Thread [1.8.12]

Filed in Open Thread by Delaware Dem on January 8, 2012 • 17 Comments

A new Public Policy Polling survey in South Carolina has Mitt Romney leading, but not as big of a lead as with other recent polls. Romney leads with 30%, followed by Newt Gingrich at 23%, Rick Santorum at 19%, Ron Paul at 9%, Rick Perry at 5%, Jon Huntsman at 4%, and Buddy Roemer at 1%. Now, keep in mind that South Carolina is the LAST chance for any of these horrible alternatives to Romney to pull off a win. If Romney wins South Carolina, the nomination is his.

Sunday Morning NBC GOP Debate

My prediction for this mornings debate is… I got nothing. You see, I actually believed the not-Romney candidates when they were threatening attack on the Romney. I believed it because it made sense to go after the front runner. It’s flippin’ Politics 101, for crying out loud. And if they weren’t going to follow through with all their trash-talking why did they even bother to show up? I swear, I truly expected everyone one of them to end last night’s debate conceding to Romney, because, hey, that’s what they did.
