I didn’t see that with the Cain supporters, but as a Santorum supporter, Newt people showed up in every single thread to trash Santorum and even make comments about his supporters. They continued to do this even when Newt was splitting the votes and Santorum was the only candidate who had even a chance at stopping Romney.
Santorum had no chance, because his ideas were exactly the same as Romney’s but he had the “social conservative” twist. He offered no option except to people who were doing the God vote - the same people who voted for Jimmy Carter, btw - and that’s why he withdrew, because he knew that wasn’t going to be enough to carry him.
Also, I do think he’s going to be Romney’s VP candidate. People are telling Romney to pick Christie or Portman, but he needs the Evangelical vote, and the only way he can get that is by picking Santorum.
Exactly. Newt had zero chance of winning the nomination while Rick Santorum at least had a long shot. Those long shot chances were reduced to zero by their relentless yammering.
