All-time popular-at-FR Victor Davis Hanson "there is very little actual difference between the two [Romney & Gingrich] candidates at all (which might, counterintuitively, explain the animus: personal characteristics, style, comportment, class, and background instead are the main differences between the candidates, hence the clumsily dubbed “Tea Party vs. Country Club” rivalry).
I disagree with that completely. Newt has his warts, not doubt. Sitting on the couch with Pelosi, for example.
But what Newt is not is a parser who sits and gives canned answers, and then when he wins goes on to capitulate to the Dems at every turn.
THAT is what you get with Romney. It doesn’t matter what he says, in the end you get what get with people like Boner and McConnell and McCain. So desperate to make a deal and compromise and sound civil and look bipartisan that you sell everything down the river while the Dems lick their chops for more.
