There are two ways to win idiots’ votes.
Idiots can’t think, won’t think and .... ohhhh shiney!
The biggest problem with Newt - who I support wholeheartedly - is he doesn’t speak in soundbites. He EXPLAINS. Most people do not want to learn or listen. His video on energy is totally amazing - but it is 30 minutes, not 30 seconds.
The country that put a man on the moon. That basically invented and forced through the technological revolution. And it seems that most of the voters can’t focus for more than ten seconds.
Newt never stood a chance in Illinois, I don’t think any Newt supporter thought that. I really wish Sen. Santorum had done much better. This was not the news I was hoping to wake up to today (yeah, I work odd hours).
Yes, you’re right about Illinois— I lived there for half of my life, and thinking conservatives are few and far between. The university crowd might respect Newt’s methods and ideas, but of course they are terrified to vote against Obama.
