“If Newt is still on the ballot” If Newt doesn’t come up with the 5 C notes he won’t be on Utah’s primary ballot.
You can still vote fgr Santorum. Just because they suspend their campaign that doesn’t mean your vote don’t count or their delegate (if they carry a district) doesn’t get seated. I’ve already voted for Santorum in my state and he’s got those delegates. If I lived in PA I’d have a Santorum yard sign up and be voting for him on the 24th.
Rick Santorum was not my first choice but I certainly would have supported him over Romney had it come to that. I wish him and his family well. I made the right choice in supporting and remaining loyal to Newt and I certainly understand those who get involved in the campaign and being loyal to another candidate.
And you don’t think that works both ways?
On the couch w/ nancy ring any bells?
Actually, what’s “crummy” is what Rick did.
e had stayed in, he and Newt and even Ron may have had enough delegates combined from stopping Romney before Tampa.
I have common sense and not what you call political amnesia. On a sofa about a theory - seems to blind you - how dumb are you? Talk about how anything can blind those who are hell bent to be blind and remain blind.
How about the other candidates sitting with evil to do it’s will. That doesn’t seem to shake you - you must be comfy with evil!
I can't because it is NOT about a candidate but OUR COUNTRY! And NEWT is the ONLY ONE with the love, determination, the know how, the proven past accomplishments to bring back our country from the hands of evil/Barry/Mitt.
I agree that conservatives should stop Romney from getting a majority of delegates before the convention. Do the majority of former Santorum supporters endorse Romney, Gingrich, Paul, or someone else?
“I can’t because it is NOT about a candidate but OUR COUNTRY! And NEWT is the ONLY ONE with the love, determination, the know how, the proven past accomplishments to bring back our country from the hands of evil/Barry/Mitt.”
I don’t disagree with you, I chose Newt for the same reasons.
“EVERY reason WHY we should support Newt”
...is contained in this speech:
2011, NRA Annual Meetings - Newt Gingrich - Celebration of American Values Leadership Forum

There is plenty more, if the above is not enough to convince you.
And this is the man whose favored brand of shoe polish you are so eager to taste?
Common sense...Tsch.
Romney’s court appointees may be no better than obama’s.
You are one clueless dude and the kind the GOP E considers ‘right for the pickings’. It’s way past time you got dressed.
I guess you’re no fan of President Reagan then. Hmmm...
It was a resolution that was realistic. Newt and Rick were friendly with each other, and Rick had also said publicly that he would definitely consider Newt as his running mate.
The next thing that happened was talk about Newt's meeting with Romney, followed by Newt's weekend comments concerning Romney's being the most likely candidate.
Now what is wrong with this picture so far? IMO (and I very well may be wrong - only time and leaks will tell), Newt decided not to back Santorum and/or form a coalition with him, and Newt's Romney remarks are a reflection of that decision.
Furthermore, I think Newt's stance became a significant factor which contributed to Santorum’s decision to suspend. And to add insult to injury, once Santorum dropped out, Newt made moves to get his campaign going again.
Stuff about this will be leaked. It's only a matter of time. I will stand corrected and make a statement saying so, if I'm wrong.
It's a shame that a coalition never happened. IMO, many of us were hoping for it.
I agree.
But that is now impossible, since Santorum begged Romney to pay off his campaign debts. In addition to that, Santorum’s big financial backer has already gone over to Romney.
Newt's big backer is also about to pull the plug on the already sinking canoe that Newt is riding in. Reality does not choose sides. It is what it is, so we need to figure out how to beat Obama with what we have, as well as make sure our interests are represented as Conservatives.
IT IS a fantastic speech and it was there and then, after I watched it, that I decided to support Newt.
