Yep. Now the choice according to some is between Newt and Mitt. No other candidate has a chance to beat Obama. This despite the fact that not one vote has been cast in a primary.
First it was Pawlenty vs Romney. Then it was Bachman vs Romney. Then it was Perry vs Romney, then Cain vs Romney, and now it’s Mitt vs Romney.
I don’t know why people assume the pattern will stop here. Or why we are all supposed to jump off the merry-go-round just because Newt’s supporters like where it’s positioned.
Oddly, I asked one of them whether he’d say the same thing if, say, Santorum was on top in a month. Nope. Because in the end, people want their candidate, and the polls are just an excuse to argue for what they already want.
I’d be happy if Bachman, Perry, or Santorum could catch on and take Newt and Romney out.
