Thx Ken
You are SO right about the NH debate... Newt is in pitbull mode now, and Romneys money can’t protect him on that stage... not a bit
And he’s no oven mitt lol- this one can’t take the heat!
“He also didn’t have the $ or organization to fight back effectively, a situation that’s improved somewhat”
I hope you are right about that. Media reports that Santorum’s website crashed from so many donations yesterday and I expect a lot of people have been fooled into thinking Santorum is the way to go instead of Gingrich just because of the Iowa caucus numbers.
One thing that seems sure to me is that Santorum faces two certain defeats in a row now, NH and SC... he needs to look to Florida, where Newt’s up by 7 points over Romney and imo Santorum’s campaign will die right then and there
I think you are right about the ‘fooled’ thing, some GOPers are getting downright flakey- they’ve kind of made themselves unacceptable to manipulation by these negative ads with a litmus test mentality. Mittens know that and ran ads to take advantage of it... but who in their right mind would believe he’s more conservative than Gingrich...?
Newt is tossing a monkey wrench into the DNC plans. The goal was to get the RNC and GOP to go with Mittens THEN tear him to pieces. The MSM was to play its part by backing Mittens and supporting him until he got the nod from the Republican Party—then destroy him so Obama will win a squeaker. By attacking early—the DNC plan is foiled (it worked with McCain). Newt is doing Gods work.
“I understand the strategy being presented of Newt taking out Romney to clear the path for Santorum. I do not believe this will happen. If Newt can take Romney down, he will easily show that he is the conservative power and he will win the nomination.”
That’s right.
Newt is not doing this to grease the skids for Santorum. He is doing this to win.
Rick will need to get his butt out there on his own. Just because some people are gushing over him does not mean everyone else in the race has become a proxy candidate for him.
Yes, Romney unwittingly showed the world his and the democrats’ plan for Obama’s victory. Parading John McCain out there shoulder to shoulder with Romney was an unbelievably pathetic site. Romney showed himself as the successor to McCain’s mantle of defeat.
It is going to take a bit more time, including Saturday’s televised debate, but I see a turn coming about. Let’s see what happens.
“Whack-O-Willard”
I LOVE IT!
Don't tell me you've got a problem with someone leveling both barrels at that corruptocrat, liberal slimebag, Romney. Newt is rightfully calling him out for being the unelectable Commie-Lite agent that he is.
Wall Of Text alert...
McCain and Romney are two peas in a loser pod.
And both of them are worthless, lying snakes, unfit for any public office.
