Will Santorum become known as the next Nader?
No because not every percent of his votes will go to Newt. The reason Newt is losing is because he did bad in the debates especially that stock slap that Romney did on him and he stood there with his mouth open. It was extremely damaging and made Newt look really bad. That is why he lost Florida and not anything with Santorum. Why he did not say SOMETHING, ANYTHING after that pounding is beyond me.
Yes, and Mitt told Santorum that government-run health care was “nothing to get upset about.”
That’s a good analysis. How Newt’s once lead over Romney came crashing down to make it a 15% lead over him can only be attributable to a spectacular flame-out in the Jacksonville debates. Newt was utterly unprepared, he looked tired, and was slumping on the podium. The torrents of negative ads, almost 4-1 just buried him. With non-stop anti-Newt political commentariat after an expected Romney landslide on Tuesday, it remains to be same whether Newt can regain his money and momentum. NV and MI are Romney territory.
