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.

It's a sad comment on Americans that most are sheep who will do whatever their party leaders or preachers tell them even it goes against their better judgment. There was a study a few years back that showed Americans and Germans were the two nationalities most likely to blindly follow authority figures. Hitler sure knew that and our leaders seem to grow more confident of that fact every single day.
