The Newt boom hasn’t subsided. And I’m not backing Newt either. These pundits, like Emerie, who think Romney has been cleared and anointed by the Tea Party faithful are in for a rude shock. The plain truth is that while many Tea Partiers will vote for Romney if he is the nominee, few like him. In fact, many dislike him intensely. I’m not in the latter group, but Mitt is far down my list of prospective candidates. He’s only in front of Ron Paul who I will not vote for no matter what.
I generally agree.
I would vote for Romney but don’t really want to. But most of all I want O gone.
He is ahead of Newt and Paul to me.
You are right. The Newt boom has not subsided. Millions of republicans have not suddenly fallen in love with Mitt or Ron Paul. The Iowa Caucus is a screwy primary every year. In addition Mitt and Paul have been running non stop negative ads agains’t Newt and he has not been countering them. That will make anybody’s numbers go down. I think Newt has finally woken up and realized you cannot totally run a positive campaign. You have to strike back sometimes. Look for Newt to come in in the top 3 in Iowa and NH and take SC, FL and most of the competetive states.
