Fat Lady Singing?

With a decisive Romney win in Florida, is it all over for Gingrich or any other rival of his?

Nah, there are more stupid states coming up. Santorum should give it up. Paul is little more than a joke.

I think it'll be between Gingrich and Romney for sure, with the mormon winning in a landslide then most likely losing to Obama. Meh.
Never voting again until we get another JFK, hell, even another Bill Clinton wouldn't suck, it's just the waiting that kills me. A president that actually fights for Democratic policies.

Yeah I don't think that Gingrich will be able to get the nomination over Romney. I think most Republicans can see that in the general election, there will be too many questions about his marriages & unfaithfulness, not to mention his ethics violations in Congress. That, and from what I understand that Gingrich won't compromise even with his fellow Republicans.
Santorum, thankfully, has no chance, though it would be nice to see him win the nomination and guarantee an Obama victory.
Ron Paul is a joke, though his supporters are extremely fanatical about supporting him. But he has no chance. He's crazy, but not crazy in the right way to get the Republican nomination. You have to be fanatical Christian crazy, not conspiracy theory crazy.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

What is conspiracy theory crazy?
Ron Paul is a joke? First he is a REAL Doctor. What are the other people? Lawyers and businessmen. Wtf is a businessman anyways? Someone who can fuck the most people for the most profit?
Gingrich is a joke, Moon bases. Romney is a joke, Mormon, and a richy rich guy that does not understand real life.
But media and money are behind Romney, he will get the nomination. That is who they chose, "they" not the people.

romey has spent more corporate money in Florida than the McCain campaign spent in its entirety.
the new rules remove all caps from campaign donations. Now companies can openly buy off politicians, instead of pretending to hide it.
I used to think that Obama had a done deal...but Romney IS of the corny capitalists. He is one of them, and apparently all of his top 1% friends are going out of their way to get him elected.
His goal, to halve the existing returns tax on stocks.
A typical american pays roughly 30%+ on taxes.
People like Romney who main dividens and gains pay 15%
romney is trying to drop his taxes to 7%.
Romney doesnt give a shit about anyone but romney. The amount of media bought and paid for by the 1% makes me wonder if Romney actually has a chance to win this election. If so, then prepare to watch Americ get much worse in the next 4 years.

I'm not voting until we get a horn-dog president. Or teddy. Whichever comes first.
And by that, I mean they have to openly admit to having sex with tons of people (still), occasionally getting high (still), and to find their job funny.
Until that: no votes from me.

Restore Our Future, Romney's campaign and other Romney allies combined spent $15.3 million to air 12,768 ads in Florida....
"They" have chosen him for sure. Media machine at work. Just turn the damn TV and radio off and we can decide for ourselves.
Citizens United case is going to destroy this country.
Spending 15 million dollars to win a primary is Florida... thats just shows how fucked the system is and how fucked it is that money can dictate positive media image or negative media image, matters how much cash you have.

90% of Romneys ads in florida are negative attack ads.
The top 1% spending 15 million to attack people...
...and they say WE are the ones waging class war.

I mean Paul's chances of winning the nomination are a joke. He's way down there with Santorum.
