good question by David Limbaugh, “Though recognizing his weaknesses, I prefer Newt Gingrich over Mitt, and Rick Santorum and maybe Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann over both. But without hesitation, I’ll vote for Romney should he get the nomination. Can the Romney supporters say the same about Newt?
Would BET the Romney rinos would NOT vote for Newt. How refreshing that David prefers Newt Gingrich. Glad to be on the same team as Thomas Sowell and David Limbaugh
This kind of thing LOSES THE PARTY BASE, so even if Romney gets the nomination, he will fail to get Republican votes in Virginia.
That will give the majority of the Presidential votes to Obama.
The first rule of politics is YOU MUST KEEP THE BASE ON YOUR SIDE. You never give them an excuse to skip over your name on the ballot, or, in fact, just stay home. You certainly don't want them to vote for the other guy!
Last time the Republicans lost the base in Virginia we ended up electing James Webb ~ a crazy man.
Reread what you quoted. David’s first choice was Santorum. Newt was at best his 2nd choice and “maybe” his 4th. The only argument I hear against Santorum is “he can’t win,” which is always based on the circular logic that no body is saying he can win. In a year in which the majority of the one time leaders in the race were previously deemed unelectable for the then same reasons, and in when no real votes have yet been cast, the case against Santorum is incredibly weak.
