On the other hand, when you look at that race from a relatively simple point of view, that is, where are Conservatives voting, you find that the Conservatives are NOT voting for Mitt, and yet they are far more than 50% of the voters.
Now, more detail ~ without the Cubans in SE Florida, or the Mormons in Nevada, Mitt Romney would probably have not gotten as high a percentage as Newt.
Maybe nobody remembers the lesson of the 1992 primaries where it was Clinton vs Gore and Gore vs Clinton ~ and nobody was blowing it away. One day Clinton, who had exhausted all his campaign money, made a deal with Gore, who had ALL the campaign money anyone could ever want.
Gore accepted the VP position and Clinton got his and everybody else's campaign debts paid.
“One day Clinton, who had exhausted all his campaign money, made a deal with Gore, who had ALL the campaign money anyone could ever want.”
The difference is Newt won’t make a deal. Even if that’s the smartest thing for him to do. But his opponents will be more than happy to make a deal.
Newt is becoming a caricature of himself.
