GOP End Is Near?

I'm so terrible at this stuff, I don't even know why I try.

Here's what I thought would happen.  I thought Ron Paul would win Iowa.  Romney would win New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and by February the Maine primary would officially seal Romney as the nominee.  Instead, Santorum won Iowa, Romney did win NH but Newt Gingrich cleared out an epic upset to win SC.  And, today at least, it appears Gingrich is set to win Florida. Currently that means there has been a different winner in each Republican contest so far.  Three elections, three different winners.  This can only mean one thing, right?  End of the world for the GOP.  Hardly.

The GOP will survive this primary season.  They will unite behind a candidate and they will vote to oust the president.  I don't think they will succeed but like I said at the beginning I'm terrible at this stuff.  Anything can happen I suppose.  But if Republicans are good at anything it's maintaining unity.

A look at the remaing calendar easily shows this race could go all the way through Super Tuesday and maybe through March.  I'll also add, there's nothing wrong with that at all.

Feb. 4-- Maine, Nevada
Feb. 7-- Colorado, Minnesota
Feb. 28-- AZ, MI
March 3-- Washington
March 6 (Super Tuesday)-- AK, GA, ID, MA, ND, OH, OK, TN, VT, VA, WY

Aside from Nevada and Arizona, Feb. 4th, 7th and 28th look safe for Romney.  That means it's still his race to lose.  Instances where that is still applicable are getting further and further from being true, however.
