The gutting in the primary’s around here ran some great people off.
Romney made it through.
I have new respect for him.
I was a Perry guy and I still think he is a good guy, but he was on pain meds at the time and it was ugly.
I must admit his flat tax proposal and Cains 999 were complete BS
The guy that clearly won the Republican debates did NOT translate into primary wins.
Why?
Slanted attacks and ads by 1) Romney 2) Santorum 3) Paul ... In order of severity. Caused voters to question Newts creds. Each of the candidates had drawbacks but in my opinion Newt had the fewest!
Voters couldn’t see thru the hocus pocus of outright lies or half truths and we got what we deserved ...Mitt.
The most decent, polished, and knowlegeable was Newt... try and tell me I’m wrong.
Now we have to wait and see how Romney does in the liberal moderated debares !? (I don’t think Newt would ever have agreed to this kind of slanted debates)
