I’ll vote for Newt over Mitt in the primary, but there is no way I’m voting for Mitt in November—even if he is the nominee.

Of the GOP candidates still in the race, Newt is by far the "least worst".

What can we do from here to get him on top? Any ideas other than throwing money at him?

Invest in a LOT of lead and brass, and be prepared to die for your country.

Fantastic chart.
It is going to leave a sting on all those RomneyBots who state that Romney is a conservative.
Romney and BHO are nearly identically politically.

Ron Paul's column surrendered to Hamas, was taken over by illegal aliens, and didn't show up because it was too stoned and sleeping with a bunch of hookers.

I've invested in lead and brass and steel.

And I've been ready to lay down my life for my country since I raised my hand and took my first enlistment oath back when I was 18.

But I am NOT voting for Romney. Ever.

I support Newt now that Santorum is out of the race, but unless Newt makes some fantastic headway and is able to force a brokered convention, there is little chance he can win the nomination.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess since there were no questions regarding the support of legalized dope, and the betrayal of US service members - Paul didn’t make the cut.

Gotta give L. Ron Paul some credit though... He does make Obama look somewhat sane and credible.

I hate/despise the idea that once again the Republican ticket is putting forth a candidate so opposed to Conservatism and telling us he's the only choice we ever had.

It's like Lewis Black stated: Each Candidate is a befouled pail of ****, and our job is to choose which of the 2 will stink less 4 years from now.

And generally, the American people should faced with a choice that makes them should with glee when they fill out the ballot, not hold their nose.
