Let’s go ahead and examine your logic here.
You say Rick Santorum fell flat on his face because he got 9.3% of the vote, so you’re switching to someone who got the same percent of the vote despite having spent millions on TV ads.
Considering that Newt has had to deal with an onslaught of attacks from Romney’s smear machine, I’d say he’s going pretty well for himself.
Iowa and New Hampshire are over. South Carolina has become the bellwether for who’s going to get the GOP nomination, so that’s where our focus needs to be. I’m supporting Newt because, in every poll I’ve seen, he’s closer to beating Romney than Santorum.
For as much as people around here bristle at the notion of nominating Willard Romney the open socialist, it’s difficult to understand why they would play right into the establishment’s plans by refusing to rally around a single candidate. John McCain II is on the verge of clinching momentum and everybody is arguing over ideological differences as if we still have weeks or months to find our “best” candidate.
We’re out of time. We have to take what we can get or we’ll end up with the socialist. If it’s Newt who has the most support, vote for him. If it’s Santorum, vote for him. Why is this so controversial?
