Lazlo, don’t you find it just a teensy bit appalling and LOT hypocritical that when all the ‘unfair’ romney ads were attacking Gingrich with lies and distortions, not only did Santorum gain from them, but he joined in on them? Now they are shocked that the same tactics are being used against him. What the heck did he expect?
Santorum used romney to move himself forward at the expense of someone who actually has a message and solutions where Santorum has no real message and no real solutions. Everyday is a guessing game. Bad politics.
I have been very, very disappointed in Santorum.

This isn’t an article from Rick. It is someone at NR bringing this up. I also don’t remember Rick running ads against Gingrich anywhere. He didn’t have the money to waste on it.

Everyone keeps putting all this importance on Newt collapsing because of how Romney slammed him in IA. How can you explain his collapse after SC, and then after GA? I can. Newt is running a terrible campaign. Just today his financials show that he is in deep debt. All that money from Adelson and nothing to show for it. Right there might be the problem with him and not the ads against him.

Rick, on the other hand, has been running a solid campaign against Milt this whole time with the MSM, Drudge, Milts Super PAC, Milt, FOX News, and the Establishment dumping all over him, yet he is still competitive with no money.

Mesta, that was so 100% right and deliciously right on the money and so doggoned applicable and appropriate and even entertaining that I thought your post was worth repeating. But to be accurate, it's not just a teensy bit appalling and hypocritical (not to mention ironic) - it's a helluva lot of all of that.

Then you will be thrilled to vote for Romney, was will Levin, Rush, Hannity, Palin........That is the main reason for the lack of breakout support, because all them have promised to be 100% for Romney if he is the nominee. Never mind the fact that none of those people wanted him.

Well you have one person than might be able to knock Romney out, well two, but she isn't running.

I would vote in a heart beat for Newt, but he will not be the candidate, and anyone here that says otherwise is just out of touch with reality.
