Exactly right. Newt can take it to BO about conservative social and economic values. IMHO...Rick could be seen as a one trick pony. I’m not saying he is...but I’m fairly certain the left could make it appear that Rick is too focused on social issues and not enough focus on the economy.
That said...if Rick’s the nominee...he has my vote. I’m just not excited about the prospect.
With Newt as the nominee...I vote FOR a candidate. With Santorum as the nominee....I hold my nose and vote AGAINST the Dimm nominee.
Voting against an incumbent has not proven to be a winning strategy.
