Thanks for the drive by comment. Dreaming has nothing to do with it. Newt has quadrupled his support in the past weeks. That has already happened. This piece merely gives opinions as to why that has happened.

Will it last? Short of scandal, I think it will. But Fannie may be the scandal. At any rate, his support has surged and there are reasons for it. This piece simply names them.

C Edmund, your heart’s in the right place. No question on that. However, underestimating the MSM and what their marching order is dangerous. Remember the interview with Christie where a couple days ago he warned us to not underestimate the machine? Chicago Machine is fully unleashed and Newt will surely be feverously attacked like Cain until Romney is left. Will I vote for Romney over Obama? You bet.

I won’t, however, give up so fast. I am not throwing in the towel on Newt, Cain or even Perry. Some part of me even thinks Palin is quiet for a reason. Not sure what that is, but perhaps a rescue trump card. Hang in there, but I think your piece is a little naive.

What part of pure political analysis do you not understand? What makes you think “my heart being in the right place” has anything to do with this? What makes you imagine I have some agenda?

Other than to write about IDEAS that animate me, I don’t have one. Newt has surged. There are reasons for it. I identified what I think those reasons are. Of course he will now be the target, just like anyone else will who surges. Of course those attacks may or may not work. Duh.

A little advice: hold back your condescension until your reading comprehension catches up.
