Newt has been spot on at times, and seemed to get off the game plan at other times. The week of the Florida push, he was back on the populist push going at Romney for his business experience. He lacked a good message aimed at Floridians, and he got killed. He did the stupid moon base comment instead of hitting Obama and Romney on their policy failures. Of these guys, I like Newt best, but he really disappointed down here in presenting a central message, too. He was all over the place and made strategic errors.
Off message(Obama) killed Newt. It will kill Santorum as well.
