Sorry. Wrong. Newt...and Rick...and Rick...and Michele...and Herman...and even Huntsman got plenty of favorable ink on Fox News whenever they did something worthy of mentioning. Which wasn’t very often. Even Santorum got over-hyped when he would win a given contest but still lose ground in the real race - the delegate count.
I concur with Larry Sabato’s assessment from a few days ago. Many of the R candidates were only in it to burnish their name recognition, future political ambition and speaking fees, etc. Newt is especially included on that list. He never ran a serious candidacy. As in working for two years beforehand raising money, building an organization, getting on all the ballots. And NOT taking off a month last summer to go on a month-long Mediterranean cruise.
I thought Perry might be a player but he bombed out in the first debate and never recovered. Not ready for Prime Time.
We got what we got, folks. Let’s work it and beat Obama.
Sorry.

I missed something- what are you sorry about?
the thing is, Newt's still in, and except for Romney, everybody else is gone. So you might want to think that through a little more.
LOL. Mitt is a fraud. If he had an honest bone in his body he would run as a RAT. At least Obama would never lie and pretend to be a Conservative.
I still pray everyday that Mitt will falter and lose the nomination. If he gets the GOP-e nod, I will have great joy watching him get slaughtered on Election night. I will vote Conservative down ticket and do a write-in for President.
With Mitt or Obama the destination is exactly the same. see my tagline.
