The teabaggers and the evangelicals will now start to pressure MIttens to select one of them as the VP candidate. Snow Snooki redux? Or a suitable substitute?

There’s an Alice Cooper song I think Rick Santorum should use as his campaign theme song.

Rather than address the topic, I would rather say keep up the good work, News Hounds. It is more important than many realize, and the participants here are vital, too. Fox IS a lie machine (and a ratings machine for that matter). The ugly/evil nature of the deceptions are very scary. Soft-core Third Reich.

values folk like Santorum; money folk like Romney. Newt will feast on the remains.

So it’s Romney, by 8 votes. Does anyone see any scenario where he doesn’t get the nomination? Assuming nobody else gets in, of course.

Believe it or not, KARL ROVE just announced that some votes for Romney had been undercounted.

I can’t believe the Republicans lost the ballots. Or on second thought, it fits perfectly.

Ah, Nikki Haley is a real possibility. I was thinking Romney might want to go with Christie but being the programmed robot he is, he’d know that CW says it “must” be Rubio. But Haley might be workable compromise. Plus possibility of being first Indian woman and all that.

Ellen, you are so right about Faux and Romney. Starting tomorrow, Faux will all come together behind Romney. Even they know that Santorum would have no chance in a general election. Talk radio will take a while longer, but Ailes and Murdoch will give the orders tonite to back that great conservative Romney.

Was thinking all along that Rubio would be placed in the second slot. After his “family escaped Castro, yet they left in ’56” came out, I’ve had my doubts. I’m switching to Nikki Haley in the VP slot.

So true, Aria.

Down to Romney and Santorum… seriously, who would have thought? I’ve been seeing for the last week and a half that it was down to Romney and Paul. But it’s not like it changes anything in the big picture.

Looks like Perry is dropping out. Says he’s going back to Texas to reassess.

Bachmann’s speech sounded to me like she’s going to drop out.

Gingrich: “On to New Hampshire.”

“Positive” Newt called Paul’s foreign policy views “stunningly dangerous.” He hasn’t talked about Romney yet.

Here comes Newt.

I’ll predict that tonight marks the beginning of Fox News coming together behind Romney. Unless someone else jumps into the race.

Fox projecting Ron Paul comes in third in Iowa.

I’ll bet that when he makes his statement, “positive” Newt blasts Romney.

OMG, it’s Mark Sanford on Fox now.

Buh-bye, Michelle……Are you sure that was Gawd tellin’ you to run?

Fox just predicted Gingrich to finish 4th and Perry 5th. Bachmann previously predicted to finish 6th.
