I want to Newt to win as well, the thing is Santorum is gaining all this momentum, the problem is, independents will never go for him because of his social issues. Is he the best candidate for a true conservative leader, will he lose against Obama if he’s the man, most definitely. Newt on the other hand can win.
The Washington Elite in the GOP (aka our enemies) are desperately looking for someone stupid enough to get into the race at this time since Romney (aka status quo) is looking vunerable.
It could be a bloody brokered convention, if it is, Newt will win it cause he’s most likely to defeat Obama.
“I want to Newt to win as well, the thing is Santorum is gaining all this momentum, the problem is, independents will never go for him because of his social issues.”
Some independents will go for Rick no matter what. More of them will go for him if the economy tanks over the summer (think $5 gas and rolling blackouts as many coal-fired electric plants are shut down).
“Is he the best candidate for a true conservative leader, will he lose against Obama if he’s the man, most definitely.”
You sound like the anti-Reagan folk when Reagan ran.
“Newt on the other hand can win.”
Why you think this I have no idea whatsoever. Newt is an old, angry white guy. His visuals are terrible, he has an ego the size of his paunch, his negatives are out of sight, and he has more skeletons in his closet than are interred at Arlington National Cemetery. And you think he’s going to pull more moderates than Santorum?!?
We’ll see what happens, because it sure looks like Rick Santorum is going to take the nomination.
