Mitt Romney at the point of no return in the GOP race
by Joseph Earnest February 1, 2012
Newscast Media HOUSTON, Texas. — After winning the Florida primary, February looks good for Mitt Romney who is favored to win Nevada, Colorado, Minnesota, Maine, and Arizona, this month. Gingrich faced a crushing defeat in Florida with Romney winning by 46.4 percent to 31.9 percent. Gingrich still hasn't recovered from the loss and is running out of money. He also doesn't appear on Missouri and Virginia ballots, an advantage the well-organized Romney campaign has over him.
"It's a disaster for him," said Larry J. Sabato, a political scientist at the University of Virginia. "This sends yet another signal to Republicans that Gingrich is not able to organize. Lack of organization suggests you’re not a serious candidate."
Romney has had four years in which to prepare for this election cycle while Gingrich doesn't seem to have a solid ground game. There won't be any more debates until March 1, for Gingrich to sell his message, and the last two debates that are still on voters' minds are the ones in which Romney excelled.
At
this point in the game, Romney has reached the point of no return. He is
favored to win the GOP nomination, and face Barack Obama in the general.
Four years ago, Romney experimented with running for the presidency.
This time around, the specimen has walked outside the laboratory,
and cannot be stopped by the very scientists (Republicans) who created it.
