But will Romney get Huntsman’s 7% now?
It looks like the most he can hope for is about half of that. I personally think its time for Perry to get out. He has no traction and even in SC is not gaining any. He is a good guy and conservative enough but at the end of the day that doesn’t win elections. Right now we have two real options against Romney and those are Newt and Santorum and Newt wins that hands down for me. He led the revolution that ushered in the election of Santorum and a freshman class of 1995 where the GOP took both the House and the Senate something that had not occurred in 40 years.
Newt has flaws but I know at the end of the day he won’t betray us on judges, he will fight alongside us and not against us where small govt is concerned and taxes (he actually has a record of balancing a budget and cutting the size of government). We can’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough or else we all lose with the election of our own Gerald Ford Romney. We have to hold the line in SC.
Very interesting that Huntsman chooses now to drop out, when Romney is in a tight race.

You have asked the question of the day. I’m hoping the answer is no but fearing it is yes.
