Post-Super Tuesday

Romney vs Santorum.  That's the contest in '12 for the GOP nomination.

Gingrich is out.  He's won only two States (GA and SC), and Paul seems to be nothing more than a vote cast to say "I don't think Romney or Santorum are conservative enough".  That in itself is scary...  Paul took more than 40% of Virginia's GOP vote, and he was the ONLY other candidate on the ballot besides Romney.  What does THAT say about how Virginia conservatives feel about Romney?

Santorum has done very well in the Midwest, but can't seem to win strong on either Coast.  His only real chance now is a HUGE showing in the remaining Southern States, and possibly CA... but Catholics never do well in CA.

I'll say this, though... if either Romney or Santorum win and DON'T pick the other as a running mate, the GOP cannot win the '12 general election.  It is the only hope right now of getting the unaffiliated voter in Anytown USA to vote against the status quo.  Put it in the books, that's my big prediction and I'm sticking with it.
