“I was blaming the conservatives, who fell for it, half of whom switched their support from one 90% conservative candidate to another 90% candidate.”

Aah. So because your candidate sucks you rage at the folks who saw through Newt?

Here’s what I think - and maybe it’s just me.

Newt’s high numbers were from moderates who wanted to support a winner. When Newt missed out on VA - moderates picked up the scent of loser, bailed and went with Romney.

Then, when the Iowa polls started to come out, the conservatives (who never really liked Newt and were only backing him because he was the only credible one), pulled out and supported Santorum, dropping newt from 30+ percent, to 10 percent where he sits now, the same folks that have been backing Newt since day one.

Now, we have Newt begging people to vote for him in the South, and his poll numbers are eroding there too.

“Isn’t this great.”

I think it’s terrible. But then, I am supporting the conservative who won in Iowa. What’s your excuse for pushing a split on conservatives when we have a better option available?

Do me a favor Ben. Don't put words in my mouth, you're not smart enough.

Thanks.

My point stands.
