At my caucus today, there was a speaker for each of the candidates. I don’t remember much about the guy who spoke for Paul other than that he accused all the other candidates of supporting Planned Parenthood. I wanted to boo. Santorum and Newt’s speakers both made good case in support of their candidate but I was irritated that the Santorum guy attacked Newt saying, “We don’t need another philanderer in DC!”. Newt’s speaker, in true Newt style, made a strong case to support his candidate based on Newt’s record and ideas to bring fiscal discipline to Washinton. Some GOP party insider out of Topeka was there to speak on Romney’s behalf and repeated the same BS and lies we’ve been hearing from the Romney campaign make for years. There were Santorum signs everywhere, a couple of Paul signs, but zero Newt or Romney signs. I regretted not ordering a couple dozen to line the sidewalk outside like the Santorum folks had done.
I agree with you. I support Santorum, but I do not attack Newt in any circles. I agree that it might be time for Newt to throw his support to Santorum, but not because Newt doesn’t have some good ideas, rather because he doesn’t have enough support. Santorum is conservatives’ best chance for the White House.
