Newt gets 75% of the vote

That is about all McCain would get in 2008 primaries, too. Seldom did he get more than 75% of the vote, even after he had the nomination locked up.

Result: He got about the same in the General and lost the EV by a 2-1 margin.

For all his glory in the debates, Newt is still Newt when the misty eyes clear. He is eratic and inconsistent; you never know which side he is going to take. GW Bush became that way in his 2nd term, too. And Newt is the quintessential beltway insider. He has resided there since he left the House. He IS neck-deep establishment and that makes him part of the existing problem in Washington.

The MSM would have a field day, going through Newt's trainload of baggage, piece by piece, day after day, for the General Election against their torch bearer.
