Better yet what’s Romney going to do when the media turns on him after getting rid of Newt? You know it’s coming. As soon as Romney gets the nomination the media will suddenly “discover” Bain etc. and turn on him in preference of their real hero Osamabama.
Of course.
It is what it is.
Romney will have to be ready to survive that, just like Gingrich has to pass through fire.
But one of the knocks on Romney is that he’s so bland and boring. So guess what? His dirt is bland and boring, too.
Newt’s dirt — Hell’s Bells, the commercials just write themselves. In fact, why write commercials? The Dems can just show pictures: Newt in front of Freddie Mac, Newt with Pelosi, Newt with Al Sharpton, etc.
What people love about Newt is that he’s colorful. And his dirt is colorful, too. OTOH, the average person eyes will glaze over if someone does a commercial about venture capital firms.
There’s no comparison between colorful dirt and boring dirt. Just the way it is.
