Guys like Hume believed Romney was inevitable from the start. Most of the beltway press core feels the same. They may very well be right.
No doubt Hume see's no path to the nomination for Gingrich and is essentially echoing Ann Coulter's line about candidates staying in the race long after they've been beaten in order to keep the spotlight on themselves and score a better TV deal with Fox.
I'm supporting Newt and want him in the race till the end because I find both Mitt and Rick to be awful candidates that I will really have a difficult time supporting. At least with Gingrich in the race I can hope for some miracle and delay the pain of having to accept we are about to nominate a crappy standard bearer...again.
I agree!
I think this vicious attack on Newt by Hume has more to do with the thing about Brit’s son
Get a grip! There’s not going to be a ‘miracle’. The sooner these half-wits get through looking at themselves in the mirror and get on Bammys’ a$$ instead of each others’, the sooner we’re going to see him plowed under. We all wanted Newt in a landslide, but it did not happen and is not going to. End of story. It’s time to focus on reality and on getting this trash heap out of DC and on trying to restore some semblance of sanity to this Republic.
I can only suppose they imagine that Republicans will see that Romney sounds like a winner and go that way.
This is very similar to Osama Bin Laden's idea that people will see a strong horse and a weak horse and they will follow the strong horse.
In reality, AlQaida political theory is entirely too simple and not at all attractive to real Americans. We saw that in the Virginia primary where the establishment offered a "cr*p" sandwich and no one came. Illinois yesterday was more of the same ~ everybody in that state knows the criminals in Chicago are going to control the outcome ~ so they had a RECORD LOW TURNOUT!
Romney still barely made 40%.
How many times do the people have to send that message to the newsies and their running dog lackeys at the top of the Republican party before someone gets the idea WE DON'T WANT ROMNEY.
