Well, I’m definitely supporting Newt over Romney but here lately, my man Newt has come across as a tired, angry, desperate old man. RINO-Rom comes across as fiery, fresh and friendly. I wish to goodness Newt would get a grip. He’s hurting himself.
Yes Newt looks unhealthy....I wouldn’t be surprised if he isnt hiding some health issue...
Unfortunately, that's because he is one. I can't think of a better statesman for Secretary of State than Gingrich. He would be the best we've ever had in this country's history.
As far as Romney goes, I think there was a personal thing between he and Governor Perry. I supported Perry in every way I could. His endorsement of Gingrich is kind of like your husband introducing you to your new husband as a condition of his will. I just can't fall in love with the guy and the decision will already have been made by the time my primary comes around. When my primary came around last time, Romney had been forced to withdraw by the Republican elitist in favor of McCain. Romney did so with grace and dignity.
I know that Nevada's voters were 1 in 4 Mormon with the economy their number one issue. You don't find Mormons having to worry about abortions which is the number one issue of the right. I also know Romney won 51% of the “very conservative” voters with Gingrich getting 24%. I think a combination percentage of Paul and Santorum was a good show for them there. Having had to endure 5% and less for the best candidate in the race, I know how I felt when Governor Perry went down. He endured the most hateful of attacks from Imperfect Citizen Cain and his raucous crew of Cainiacs and Michele Bachman. I read FReepers hideous comments in disbelief. I imagine Romney supporters are in the same state. Perry took it courageously, with humor and with dignity. He withdrew graciously. He didn't give all kinds of excuses. He just said he could see no path forward...and my heart broke. No path forward.
I'm not saying what Gingrich “needs to do.” Only God knows that. What I am saying is that I will enthusiastically vote for Romney in the general if he's there. I won't read or entertain the vicious hate-speak anymore. For better or worse and in my opinion, it can't get worse than Obama.
I watched the entire Newt Gingrich press conference!!! It confirmed in my mind that Newt Gingrich is not the “one”, not even close. It also confirmed my switching my support from Gingrich to Rcik Santorum. Actually, Romney, Paul, Santorum are all better candidates then Newt Gingrich.
I love Newt, but.....being objective, he has lost it!!! This “sour grapes” mantra he is now living by, will not cut it. He got slaughtered in Florida and Nevada (the current posted results for Nevada have yet to post the Romney votes in the “Clark County” slaughter, which will take Romney to between 50-55% of the overall vote!!!
I actually felt sorry for Newt last night. What he gave was the press conference that a pure novice would give, infused with his disgrunted and sore loser input. Worse then that, he had a clear shot at finishing Romney off in Florida an he blew every open opportunity he had. I also believe that Rick Santorum will soon replace Newt as the real alternative to Mitt Romney!!! Again, I’m sorry for Newt, but....he only has himself to blame!!!
“RINO-Rom comes across as fiery, fresh and friendly.”
