This whole notion that any candidate should drop out to help another is flawed. Question: Whom did Michele Bachmann’s votes help? Typically, in a crowded field, when a candidate drops out their votes scatter to several candidates, as well as to undecided. In order to have a significant impact 2 of the remaining 3, Newt, Perry, and Santorum, would have to drop out; even then many votes would go to Romney. It’s not cut and dried.
If you follow the thread, I did not suggest anyone should drop out, but I thought mylife was suggesting that Newt should drop out based on delegates. I was mistaken. Another poster had suggested that Perry should drop out. I see no reason to panic. Let’s move on to SC and see who develops a following. I do think Huntsman will fade quickly though.
The reason it was good for Bachman to bail is that she was Romney’s wingman. She never bashed Romney and mostly bashed Newt.
During Sunday’s debate, because Bachman wasn’t wasting airtime, Newt was able to shred Romney.
Which is why Romney’s 72 year old surrogate John Sanunu was whining to CNN to make sure Newt wasn’t in the SC debates. Sanunu actually inferred that Romney doesn’t want Newt in the SC debates and the media needs to make it happen.
THAT IS DISGUSTING. ROMNEY and his gross surrogates are DISGUSTING for attempting to persuade CNN on live camera to take Newt out of the debates. Never mind what voters want, it’s only what scared little Romney wants now that his wingman Bachman is out of the picture.
Although, Ron Paul is now defending Romney. They are both jokes.
