Basic rule of thumb for political campaigns.

Don't build up expectations for your candidate so high he cannot possibly meet them.

If Newt stumbles even a bit, it will now hurt him immensely since everyone has talked up how "great" he is going to do.

Newt can put his foot in his mouth. His trash talking Paul Ryan is a good example of how Newt can let his mouth get him into trouble.

Building up these extravagant expectations about Newt is really bad political tactics.

You are assuming that Newt is my candidate. So far I don’t have a candidate, I just think Newt is a brilliant speaker.

Just when I think you can’t say anything more idiotic, you top yourself. Newt’s campaign was DOA two months ago. Trash talking Paul Ryan had a lot to do with it. Now he has the most momentum of any of the candidates, and the only buzz is with political junkies on websites like this one. No one is talking up “how great he is going to do.” This nomination is going to come down to Romney Vs. “not Romney,” and everyone knows it. So any candidate who thinks it’s not going to be him (or her) and Romeny is wasting time and money.

Cain didn’t put his foot in his mouth over China and nukes? or over greenspan? if YOUR man is not the nominee...are you going to sit out the vote? and I am not even going to mention the recent erroneous accusations against other candidates...get a grip.
