Agree with your point in post #3. But we’re stuck with Romney who’s better than the Obamantion and must be elected.
Rick Santorum is a 53 year old child in a sweater vest. He had no chance of beating Obama, and now has left us with Romney as our nominee. Thanks Rick, and all your clueless supporters.That's true to a point and I do have a certain amount of disappointment in the Huckabee Voters who I think this time around jumped on the Santorum bandwagon.
But you are leaving something out, something very important:
A week before the Florida primary Newt was in the lead and in the driver's seat and really was in position to transform his recent surge into a political version of Sherman's March to the Sea.
But then Romney, in the first pre-Florida debate, very cooly, and with great calculation, branded Newt as an "influence peddler". It was a public act of political assassination conducted with great skill and extreme heartlessness.
And Newt was absolutely unable to defend himself. As if he had no idea that any of that stuff was going to come up. The Great Debater (who at that point really only had his debating skill as his main qualification before the R voters) spluttered and stared into the camera like a deer caught in headlights.
On that night it was over for Newt.
Romney did it to him, that's for sure. And the Huckabee Voters fell for it, that's for sure.
But the fact remains, the Great Debater Newt Gingrich stumbled that night, and in the next debate too, and it was Game Over for Newt Gingrich.
I'm NOT saying "rightfully so". I continued to be -- and continue to be -- a Newt Gingrich supporter.
But the fact is, Newt blew it. He knew he was the target and he knew Romney's skill at political assassination. And yet, he failed. The Great Debater failed. And the Huckabee Voter stepped in and raised up Rick Santorum.
That's what happened.
What you talking bout Willis? If Santorum didn’t run Romney would have sowed it up months ago. (and polling indicated he COULD have beaten Osama in November)
