I'm very surprised by that. Either lots of Paulbots are having second thoughts (good!) or Newt Gingrich has managed to generate more enthusiasm among his people than Ron Paul, which is wonderful if true.

My GUESS is that the true Paulbots got surprised and disappointed to find out that Paul and Romney are close (and their wives as well). They know what Romney's record is and it is NOT consistent with what RP seems to stand for.

I'd love to see Paul in charge of all financial matters and nothing else and I had been convinced that he was one of very few genuine politicians even though I disagree with half of his policy (or more).

I couldn't figure out why he never attacked Romney and when I heard the story that he had cut a deal with Romney for Rand to be VP, I found the accusation to be believable.

I despise Romney and will never trust or support anyone who cuts a deal with him. Maybe the Paulbots now feel that way too. I hope so and I hope they figure the one person who has a record of cutting DC power and the slime bags running it from the shadows way back is Newt.

“I despise Romney and will never trust or support anyone who cuts a deal with him.”

Romney is the least capable of uniting the voters for the national elections. He will fail, as the polls indicate 18% of republicans will stay home in case of Mitt’s nomination and the GOPers will lose heavily in the Congress as well.

Yep and I agree with the rest of your comments as well.

GO NEWT!
