As soon as Romney
Is not inevitable,
He drops like a stone.
What percentage of conservatives turned out for a milque toast moderate like McCain? I suspect that it was less than 100%. Newt would fire up 100% of conservatives to turn out AND probably fire up a whole new generation of yoots to become conservative and get active just by showing us a campaign the likes of which has never been seen.
Courage is contagious. Mediocrity, cowardice, compromising your soul in the hopes that evil people will hate you a little less, these things do not inspire.
