Newt is not going to be the nominee. We are not going to pick someone who loses to Obama by 15 points and costs us both houses of Congress.
Show us your crystal ball, oh, great swami.
If everyone was like you, we never would have had President Reagan.
That's the real fear of the GOP Establishment. If it was confident that Newt would beat Obama and ensure that both houses of Congress would have Republican majorities, the Establishment would ignore Newt's recent transformation into a self-proclaimed Tea Party, anti-elite rebel and back him to the hilt.
I somewhat agree. I think the margin would be greater.
I thought I saw a national poll yesterday that had Obama and Newt tied.
why do you assume that? The latest Gallup Poll has Obama up on Romney and Newt by the same 50-48 margin. The latest PPP poll has Obama up on them by the same 5 pt margin.
Other reent polls had him down in the 7-10 range, and that was before his SC victory and momentum. A big win in FL will only add to that.
I’d suggest that if Newt wins FL as big as he won SC that within 3 days post FL there will be a poll out showing him ahead of Obama. And what will the elites say then?
