“Which Rick? Perry or Santorum? or both?”
Both.
“Why is that idiot Santorum running ads against Gingrich?”
A) Santorum is no idiot.
B) He and Newt are vying for the same voting block, Romney voters are not going to switch to Santorum. Therefore, he has no reason to go after Romney voters.
I can tell that you (as are many others) emotionally invested in your candidate winning. I on the other hand have no candidate as mine dropped out. I like Santorum, Newt and Perry all equally and for differing reasons.
My statement that “Rick” needs to get out is far more strategy than how much I “like” a candidate. On a personal level Newt makes me want to take a shower, but he is the only one that can beat Romney in S. Carolina and beyond.
He also contrasts nicely with Obama on several issues both near and dear. At this point I’ll back Newt and hope he wins and is NOT Nixon redux.
If the other Newt supporters were like you I could see myself doing the same. I wish they all were rather then calling Santorum supporters ‘idiots’, etc.
