I’m a Fred supporter, but I’m also a realist. He’s gaining some traction in South Carolina, but he has to gain a lot more. If he does not at least pass Romney and come close to McCain there he’s in trouble. If that happens I’m for a brokered convention. We need someone who can unite the three main factions of the party (social and economic conservatives and national security hawks). Fred is the only one out of the current candidates (besides Duncan Hunter who is polling at 1%). If we can’t have Fred then I would rather another candidate step forward at a brokered convention such as Newt.
As a former Newt fan, it troubles me to have to tell you this, but Newt has transformed into an unprincipled RINO over the years.
