Just because that would tie her to Gingrich too closely and we are not even sure Gingrich makes it out of Florida at this point. Gingrich is a flawed candidate, although not quite as flawed as Romney. I’m just taking her at her word that she said exactly what she meant, i.e. that she would vote for Gingrich in order to keep the primary process going (past SC and Fla.) I would like all fifty states to matter this 2012 primary for the credibility and good of the party. For it to end at Florida or SC deflates the overall party excitement level and hurts the down-ticket primary races, especially the tea-party type primary candidates. JMHO.

“I don’t for a minute think you are unaware that she is under contract and therefore can not come right out and directly endorse.”

Which is why she’s endorsing anyways? Terrible argument.

I’m not arguing that she hasn’t endorsed Newt.

I’m arguing that she has - and by extension, Dede Scuzzyflava.

I’m really disappointed in her. I really thought she’d endorse someone who was worthy of her endorsement.

BK,

We were both fervent Cain supporters. And I’m just curious, why the antipathy for Newt?

I think you are right - she sent her message - only a dolt wouldn’t get it.

What with Todd’s endorsement and this - perfect - she is telling us all where she stands - that’s all we need for now

He backstabbed Hoffman who was an excellent candidate.

"She can’t, and shouldn’t, tie herself that closely to Gingrich."

Agreed. She has played this beautifully.

So, IF YOU Vote for Rick or Rick, you have most likely voted FOR ROMNEY because it is WINNER TAKE ALL!!!!


Nope. If I vote for Perry, that’s a vote FOR Perry. This “if you don’t vote for MY candidate you’re voting for Romney” is absolute baloney. SC is only worth 25 delegates, a tiny portion of the pie. Alaska is bigger.

Conservatives, vote for the candidate who you feel most represents your conservative values. This is your chance to make your statement.

I still don’t understand, my friend. Are you hoping she will still get in the race?

“This Tea Party person supports both Newt and Sarah. Yes I have been to Tea Party rallies and given the move my suppot. GO NEWT GO!”

You replied:

Glad to know. This tea party person hasn’t, and won’t.

And your candidate (whoever that is) has never made a bad endorsement?

Pray tell, who is the one you support and I'll be glad to let you know the RINO squish they supported.......

Honestly, that's the reason you don't like Newt? Good grief, man up.

I said on another thread a few days ago that I think she needs to break away from McCain once and for all. Even denounce his politics. I still wish she would say it in words. However, since McCain is backing Romneycrat and she obviously is not it is the next best thing.

Hoffman had the right stance on issues, but he wasn’t “an excellent” candidate.

Yeah, I liked Hoffman quite a bit.

I was incensed that not only would he intervene in a race that his intervention was not necessary.

But that he would side with Scuzzyflava. To me it showed me where he stood - behind the RINOs all the way, against the conservatives and the tea party.

So, no. I’m not going to support someone who goes out of his way to hurt the candidates that we need to get into the seats that we do need, and instead endorses democrats.

Need I remind you that Scozzafava immediately crossed over?
