THE CATHOLIC KNIGHT: Mitt Romney has just won the New Hampshire primary on the heels of a very narrow victory in Iowa. Rick Santorum lost to Romney in Iowa by just eight votes but was soundly beaten by him in New Hampshire by 26 percentage points. Romney also bested Ron Paul by 12 percentage points. While a New Hampshire victory was predictable for Romney, it has reinforced the notion that he can easily carry all of the New England states in future primaries.
Rick Santorum's best chance at making a comeback is in South Carolina at the end of next week, where he trails Romney by an average of 10 percentage points, depending on which poll you believe. Even if Santorum manages to pull out a narrow victory in South Carolina, that victory will be short lived when Florida holds its primary ten days later, where Romney leads against Santorum by 20 percentage points and Gingrich by 10 percentage points. Then comes Nevada in February, followed by Main, Colorado, Minnesota, Arizona, Michigan and Washington. Romney will win all of these states. By the time we get to March, Romney will have so much momentum behind him that he will be nearly invincible. Romney will have won every single primary, with perhaps only one exception (South Carolina), and that's only if Santorum is incredibly lucky. What we are witnessing is a repeat of 2008 but worse. Romney is going to skate into the convention with more delegates than anyone else, while Santorum and Gingrich battle it out for second place. Ron Paul, will not win a single primary, as expected and planned by those who control the type of candidates we get for the general election.
So the international corporate-money cartel wins again. Americans will choose between Romney and Obama in November. Both are corporate whores. Both serve the money cartels. Both will give us more of the same. There is your choice America. Enjoy.

Sir Knight, relating to your family situation, I am offering some links to hymns by Michael Praetorius that bring me back to God when the stress seems overwhelming. These were written by Lutherans but were based on writings of Catholic Saints so are part of our heritage in essence.

Have faith.
If it is in God's plan, Ron Paul will win some primaries.
Due to these false choices as you have shown correctly, I predict that the victory will be Obama's. Given the choice to change one face for another (seeing that policies will be the same), America will simply choose to vote for the incombent.
If Romney is nominated, I'll just stay home if I am not able to vote 3rd party or to write in another name.

There is only one candidate who can beat both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. That candidate is Ron Paul. For the good of the country, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and all the rest should drop out and unite behind Paul. They will never do that however, because they are all in agreement that it would be better for Barack Obama to win reelection that for Ron Paul to get into the Whitehouse. Yes, I said it and I'll say it again. I dare anyone to prove me wrong...
If it came down to a race between Barack Obama vs. Ron Paul in November of 2012, this is how these candidates would vote...
Mitt Romney would vote for Barack Obama
Newt Gingrich would vote for Barack Obama
Rick Santorum would vote for Barack Obama
Rick Perry would probably vote third party.
Jon Huntsman would vote for Barack Obama.
There is one ray of hope for Ron Paul, and I do say just a 'ray'. If the world economy goes into total collapse again before April, just as Gerald Celente predicted, than Americans will see that Ron Paul was right, and he is the only politician in the field who has actually levelled with them and told them the truth. Then, and only then, after the world economies are in shambles, does Ron Paul stand a chance of winning.
No one is telling the truth regarding why all the candidates (except Ron Paul) are plastic, shallow, and dishonest ; the average American voter is too ignorant and lazy to know the difference. If the Founding Fathers were alive today, would they be like Homer Simpson and accept whatever TV tells them or would they start another revolution?
I like Ron Paul, and I get that you like Ron Paul...alot, and I get that you don't like the others, and I really enjoy your blog, but to say that Santorum would vote for Obama over Paul is absurd. Gingrich and Perry is slightly less absurd, but still absurd and Romney and Huntsman, who knows. I think you lose some credibility making statements like that. Just my $.02.
Maybe you're right Brian, but it's more of a chide than a prediction. The way these men are acting right now, it seems like they would. I could be wrong there, but I wouldn't be too surprised if I'm right. We will probably never know anyway. My point is the system of rigged to keep men like Ron Paul from ever getting elected to the presidency, and these other men running are part of that rigged system.
Very nice article on ron paul

Re: Ron Paul - There has been some talk from Republican commentators that with the high percentage of support from mostly younger people, that whomever wins the nomination (other than Ron Paul) should or will have to modify their platform to accommodate at least some of the policies that Ron Paul espouses.
All is not lost.
My prayers are with you and your family regarding your father's struggle.
Before you or any of your readers decide to write off Romney and sit out of the general election (or "throw your vote away" on a 3rd party candidate), you must read this article:
