Newt Gingrich Wins. What It Means.
Is it ok to quote Erickson?
“In every way in the last two weeks, Romney has signaled he won’t fight for the base. He looks like a lost child when trying to answer the taxes issue. He couldn’t stand up to Santorum in the debate. He sounds every bit like Gordon Gekko, not Milton Friedman, when he talks Bain and free markets.
Basically, today’s vote is about Republican grassroots giving the Washington Republican establishment the finger. The base is angry, and right now, only Newt is left to fight for them, as imperfect as he is. We may still end up with Romney, but voters aren’t going to let him have it easily.
Party leaders who have invested so much in Mitt Romney might want now to ride on to a brokered convention and find someone acceptable to everyone. Because this most divisive and bitter primary in years is going to wipe out the GOP’s chances to win in November. And while few of the Romney advocates of the past four years will admit it, it is because they have tried to foist onto the base a milquetoast moderate from Massachusetts as energizing to conservatives as a dead battery.”
... on the occasions he gets it right :o)
Newt, Palin and Bachman were the only ones that had the guts to go after the Kenyan Marxist Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama.
Romney meekly says thing like “ we really (sort of) need to get rid of Obama, we really(sort of) do”.
Newt says things like “ We MUST get rid of Obama, he is a danger to our republic and he is a Saul Alinsky radical’.... etc.
Newt it NOT John McCain. You will not see Newt doing this sort of thing:
