[Best example: Romney underperformed tonight and Newt took a district Romney won last time. Instead of pointing that out, Newt says he knew he’d lose because “There are a lot of Mormons here”. That was just dumb.]
It’s true. It is also exactly what FNC said in 2008 in dismissing Romney’s win over McCain too.
I too though wish Newt would have given a speech, but I think he was afraid FNC wouldn’t show it. He also doesn’t have the money Mittwitt has so a press conference is an effective way to get his message out.
FNC is so in the tank for Romney it is sickening.
Newt’s speech is coming up in about an hour.
