Gingrich failed.

His greatest claim-to-fame was his debating skill.

Romney beat him in the 2 debates leading up to Florida.

Without debating skill, what is a Newt Gingrich?

I’ll never forget the deer-in-the-headlights stare when Romney assaulted Gingrich early in that first pre-Florida debate.

That was NOT the Newt Gingrich I had come to know and love. It was some kind of Rick Perry version of Gingrich standing there looking tongue-tied and stupid. (Sorry, Rick Perry, I do like you as a person but you are a debate loser.)

And it should have been an easy question for Newt to handle... but he blew it. And he went on to blow some other easy ones.

Oh well. Look at my posting history. I was big on Newt during the Newt surge... but it’s time to stop the vote-splitting and get on with the business of defeating Romney.

That leaves us all with only one choice left: Rick Santorum.

Not my first choice, not by a long shot, but the only choice any of us have right now.

Unless you like the idea of Romney getting the nomination.

No offense; but, I think I will follow Sarah Palin’s analysis rather than yours. Both Rick and Newt should stay in the race as long as possible.

(Crazy Ron should stay too, as he's the only name listed, other than Romney, on the VA GOP Primary ballot and no write-ins are allowed. Those of us in VA who are against Romney and understand the issues will be voting for Ron Paul in VA GOP Primary (ONLY the Primary; NOT the General Election); because that will help to deny VA delegates to Romney.

Stop being so negative!

GO NEWT!!!

Take care,

-Geoff

>> but it’s time to stop the vote-splitting

The Santorum supporters ruled out that option.

Go Newt!
