Why couldn't Newt take the lion's share of 80%? That's what he did in South Carolina, why couldn't he do it in Florida?
Newt's fundamental problem isn't Santorum, it's Romney -- or himself. If he can't take votes from Romney, he can't win, and it's as simple as that.
He had a much better debate performance in SC, and capmaigned better, and guess what -- even with Santorum taking a higher percentage of the vote than he did in FL, Newt won by almost the same margin Romney won in Florida.
>> Newt’s fundamental problem isn’t Santorum, it’s Romney — or himself.
Nonsense. Santorum is a fantasy vote, and the delusional indignation that’s propelling him on his divine flight are sabotaging our immoral crusade to regain our liberties.
As far as I’m concerned, a vote for Santorum is a vote for Romney.
My opinion on this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Rick outside the context of this race. If Santorum had the advantage, I’d be arguing against Newt Perot. I do believe Gingrich is less of a big government statist, however.
