I guess that means he weighed the alternatives and decided that a no-show would be even worse. He got ridiculed for it a lot here when the news came out.
I live in FL, and even by floating this, Romney made himself seem like an idiot.
My point is that it should be a non-issue.
It should be an issue and will be for barry and media if mitt gets that far. And, then what happens, if he’s the nominee? Mitt SHOULD want to be upfront with us but he doesn’t. He’s already too much like barry - now we can add hiding things.
Current count - 60% counted
Newt 41% Mitt 27% Rick 18% RonP 13%It seems likely the final will be very similar. Major difference is that the percentages for Santorum and Paul are reversed in the actual count. Probably some self-selection going on there that favors RPaul (similar to the internet "polls".)
Given the News Media’s favoritism toward Obama, what do you think the odds are that they will allow Newt to do anything when Obama Refuses to debate Newt?
This is not 1860, and Lincoln never won a majority in his election in the first place. Lincoln won against 2 opponents that were more similar to each other then they were to him. He thus divided the opposition against him.
Newt won’t have that option, and even if he did Lincoln’s other strategy is unlikely to work in today’s world with regard to today’s mass media technology.
Obama will used his gigantic campaign chest to fire salvo after salvo at Newt and never give Newt any kind of form in which he can respond to any of it. Newt will be even more helpless than he was in Iowa & New Hampshire without substantial campaign skills & money.
