Newt would be riding the chicken express everyday and would have conservatives jazzed and ready to vote. Romney on the other hand, is trying to get 1/100th of votes from the 1% of gay voters pissing his base off in the meantime. Newt tried to warn us about Bain and romney, he knew it was coming. Everyone was all pissed off because he was “attacking capitalism.”. Hahahahahahaha. Stuff it Rove, Coulter, Levin, Malkin, and basically most of Fox News, they own it.
Newt (or any other of the 8 Pubbie candidates who started out last winter) would be killing the Kenyan by now!
I agree with everything that you said EXCEPT: pissing his base off in the meantime.
Romney never had a base. His base would be about as real as a John Kerry base. The only base Kerry or Romney would have are those who vote along party lines no matter where the candidate stands on the issue.
If you want to call it a base, Romney's base are those Republicans that vote Republican whether they are pro-abortion or pro-life.
Romney's targeted base is ABC (Anybody But Conservatives).
I think Romney dislikes Conservatives more than he dislikes Obama. His performance during the primary compared to his performance now against Obama is an example.
I think Romney (a billionaire who could make more money in the private sector) would prefer to lose to Obama than to have to say he won thanks to Conservatives.
