What was said was rather misleading, because of his SUPER Pac involvement, he cannot financially support a candidate as an individual until that candidate is an actual nominee, under CFR. Correct me if I am wrong.
Adelson is foolish to stop the support of the SuperPAC which is the means to fight Romney’s attacks. Oh well, that will keep Newt positive, but permit Romney and Santorum to viciously attack Newt as they’re doing, and get by without an answer.....
For the record, Newt’s fundraising is up, not down.
The reason is that he has started doing more fundraisers, and not just campaigning.
He’s been camped out in Ohio, where his organization is second only to Romney’s, and where he has been getting enormous response. Since Rick isn’t on the ballot in 20% of the state, and isn’t focusing on it, Newt will benefit there.
Let’s all hang on and try and decipher the difference between staying power, and bumps in polling taken right after someone has a big night. Newt has proven he has staying power. Super Tuesday is going to be a big day for him (GA, TN, OK, OH, AK). I fully expect Newt to have the overall delegate lead after March 6th. Alabama and Mississippi are a week later.
I’ll still be here at FR two weeks from now when the dust has settled and it is still a two-man race between Newt and Mitt.
