apt and humorous. :)
Newt was at 20% in the national PPP poll today. He is making ground, but I think we need to find ways to take him to the people outside the GOP, too many are hoodwinked already or blind and will not see...
"Best policies" has to be able to be translated into votes and support...
Sad, isn’t it, that the guy people say has the best policies is not the guy they are willing to vote for.
The question is, how can we force all these people to vote for the guy you know is the best candidate, when they keep voting for the other candidates instead?
There has to be some way you can make the people of Illinois not vote for Romney, Santorum, or Paul more than Gingrich. But how?
Seriously, I’ve always said (and you might remember me saying this when you were a Perry supporter), that in the end, a candidate is responsible for attacting actual voters to vote for him. Gingrich has largely failed to do that. Makes no difference WHY — you might have fun arguing why a team doesn’t win a game, but excuses don’t change the final score.
We don’t put the person with the best ideas into office, we put the person with the most votes. Figure out how to get Gingrich the most votes, and maybe he’ll turn this around.
If the last 3 weeks here at FR are any indication, it is clear that attacking Santorum isn’t going to achieve the desired result.
