This really is a lame break in the GOP run to the White House. All the work and penalty Florida did to leap up in the calendar we are left with a long stretch of nothing but idle time. This is always bad news in a political campaign you want to be a moving target and this stretch has made them al sitting ducks. Even the resurgent Rick Santorum has managed to step in it during the time off. Newt Gingrich has been running east west across the Bible belt hoping to stake a claim. Mitt Romney has tried to tread water which has what he has done from the start. The road ahead is a cross-country series of nine primaries and four caucuses between February 28 and the big Super Tuesday on March sixth. The prize at the end should be clearer picture of the pick to be a GOP opponent for President Barack Obama. We are looking to the debate on February 22nd in Arizona, is will be the first one in three weeks and possibly the last, depending on the outcome after the polls close. Romney, Santorum, Gingrich and Ron Paul must make the call of one state versus another. The choice of winning one state over another or maybe doing less in another to finish second but still picking up some delegates. The bottom line is it will take 1,144 delegates to win the GOP presidential nomination at the August convention in Tampa, Florida and 518 are going to be counted between the 2/28 and 3/6, it is on like Donkey Kong
