Romney had the room stacked with the establishment.
I and i know of others tried to get tickets to that debate last night.
I was told off the county GOP that there were to be 3000 seats but only 800 out to the likes of us.;
The establishment put their lot in that room to cheer Romney and you could tell because cheers were going up for Romney which were not called for at all.
Romney attacked Newt when Newt wanted to say stop the negative attacks and with the help of FOX, Drudge etc he is getting away with all of this.
Newt is the visionary and he's been ridiculed by those who can't see beyond their nose. Newt truly wants to know what each state needs and was ridiculed for that also. Mitt only wanted their votes and never thought to ask because it's 'me,me Mitt' but each state debate Newt mentioned what he would do to solve their most pressing problem.
Santorum, also, is no visionary and can only see what's in front of him - like most people. And he has a fear factor that he works off of. It takes a visionary to make something great and stay great ala Steve Jobs. That's why looking for just conservative rhetoric (Santorum) can lead to one dud of a president. Sorta like a patch job on great America.
