But all he had to do was run a couple of negative ads against Newt, and watch as the idiots on our side scattered like beat dogs.

It wasn't a couple of ads. He saturated the TV radio and papers with untrue ads about Newt

Unfortunately he had the $$$$ and organization to be able to do this and the average GOP primary voter isn't very well informed and bought into the lies

The geniuses on FOX news did NOTHING to condemn those ads and Newt did not have the time or $$$$ to combat them

don't forget Drudge carried Mitt's homo-water and the fact Rush and Hannity played “keep access” footsie

and only Levin actually smacked Romney about

it showed how disassociated GOP leadership is ..by and large...from it's base

this is how parties collapse historically in time
