That’s the end of Mitt—he needs to get chucked out onto the couch with Newt. Stick a fork in him—he’s done.
He knows that his only chance to win the nomination will be with the support of the establishment RINO`s, so why not go for broke?
And with the likes of Michelle Bachmann running for personal gain, with no worries of it splitting the vote in Romney`s direction, he probably has a good point.
