Perry has launched a salvage campaign that has completely failed. He has gone steadily down and is now barely at 2%.
There is a very good reason for that. Newt on the other hand, has gone steadly up and is now in the 30% range. There is also a good reason for that.
Newt is highly skilled in Government, demonstrates tremendous knowlege and has reconnected with the base, independents and average voters. Sooner or later, you might figure that out. It would also be much better if you stop trashing him for somethiing you know very little about.
Newt is a man with a clear and intelligent plan. Even more so than Perry. Perry is finished. Plain and simple. Get over it.
Well said - stand by for the (factless) haters ...
I'm afraid you're right. It appears the conservative resurgence and the power of the Tea Party supporters has been vastly overrated.
The "conservatives" elected in 2010 have done nothing but go along with huge deficit spending.
We are arguing about the merits of the top two candidates for the Republican nomination for president by explaining how their clearly non-conservative pasts don't really matter.
We claim that Obamacare is a major catastrophe but our top two candidates have both supported similar programs.
We scream about amnesty but must decide on which of our top two candidates amnesty program would be least damaging.
We decry the corruption of the establishment insider politicians, yet we narrow are choices to two establishment insider politicians.
We jump up and down about big government and big government spending, yet we must choose between two candidates who have supported egregious big government and big government spending in the past.
I believe that Obama has a good chance of winning reelection, because I don't believe there are really that many conservatives, not in this Country, not in the Republican Party, and not even on FR.
