"I am not ready to throw in the towel. Last night could prove to be the best possible outcome. Rick didn’t campaign in FL, in essence telling Newt, “Okay, let’s see what you got.” Newt went there with HUGE momentum and wall-to-wall support from Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin. And he couldn’t beat Romney, even though a week or so ago he was ahead by what, 10 points? Newt and his supporters might blame Rick (if he had only told his supporters to vote for me) or Romney (all those negative ads) but the truth is, Newt did this to himself. It’s time for Newt to go, although I have no illusions he will.

Your post made me chuckle because all you have to do is change the names around and you get a replay of the Florida debacle for Newt.

Wow, Santos has not had hardly anything laid on him after what was done to Newt on Bloody Thursday and Mitt's 17 to 1 negative ads. Shaking head.

Mods, can this post be removed. It is very insulting to those of us who respect Newt. Thanks for your time.

You have an excellent point! With one distinction: Rush and Mark have NEVER been wall-to-wall for Newt like they have been for Rick. You’ve got to grant me that.

Mitt had to gamble in Michigan and not hit Santorum too hard because he and his PAC spent $2Million/day for 10 days hammering Newt in Florida. You can try to compare the two but it really doesn't pass the smell test.

Your implicit equivalence of Newt and Rick would make me chuckle, if there were not so much at stake.

Newt is far better qualified for the job. Santorum isn't even good at campaigning, much less on policy and command of the subject matter. He got himself mired in the weeds on social issues and kept on talking. He's like a dog you take hunting and he runs around barking and scaring off all the game. He can't comfortably (or perhaps even competently) address issues like opening American energy, so he defaults to platitudes about Faaamily ( ~ "for the chilllldren" ) like a pandering Dem. And then he draws all the wrong kinds of attention.
