...and of the McRombama campaign!
I like those folks, but Newt is tough for me to get a warm fuzzy about. If I had to vote for him in the general I’m pretty sure I could, but not in the primary.
I sure hope he can jump-start this campaign. He is letting Santo take over.
The problem with endorsements like this, is that I make up my own mind. Rather than shoring up, this merely makes me see these people in a different light.
Some candidate’s biggest problem is of their own doing over the years.
*** Newt is tough for me to get a warm fuzzy about.***
We are not shopping for a puppy!!!!
Some of us ‘loved’ George Bush - he had a sweet smile, two pretty daughters, a strong family, spoke with a twang, said nice things, wasn’t bossy, looked good in the flight suit and didn’t get angry with Democrats.
It was hell watching and listening to the media crucify such a ‘nice’ President.
We have seen how the media hates Newt - so no disappointments. He’s tough and stubborn. No Karl Rove to give him bad advice - he has his own counsel.
So where is Sheldon Adelson going with all his money? He mentioned Romney if Gingrich dropped out. But Gingrich isn’t dropping out. But Sheldon is leaving anyway.
Newt isn’t a warm and fuzzy type guy. I didn’t realize that was a criterion for president. I had a father, don’t need another one. :-)
“The problem with endorsements like this, is that I make up my own mind. Rather than shoring up, this merely makes me see these people in a different light.”
I have to give anyone credit for not endorsing Romney
So where is Sheldon Adelson going with all his money?
**********************
The story that Adelson was not going to give further money to Newt came from Bloomberg— that’s a 100% Romney source.
Now, ultimately, it may well be true. But, let’s wait. Couple of months ago, Bloomberg quoted a Romney aide saying that Adelson would not give a dime to Newt. Well, that was technically accurate, he gave $10M.
Newt has to rise in the South- if he does- it’s a new ballgame.
Here it is for me: While santorum represents (to some people) the most, demonstrably, conservative candidate in the field of four; Newt is the most dynamic and the one who most effortlessly articulates conservatism. I think that is what “moves” people.
Sounds about where I stand with endorsements of the other guy.
Both of them have massive problems for me.
Sancho Santo. Sancho the backstabber who will run to the republican establishment.
Nobody is perfect but they both try to attract conservatives while Romney turns them off with his minimum wage idea.
“Newt is the most dynamic and the one who most effortlessly articulates conservatism. I think that is what “moves” people.”
Not after Florida. He’s not going to get the debates he wants so it will be up to his ground campaign and TV ads.
I don’t think Romney ever understood why folks would not love a big government health care program. I don’t think the other guy ever understood why folks would not love a big government fix to man-made global warming, even if it didn’t exist.
Yes, Romney has done a number of things that cause me to be unable to support him. Sadly, so has the other guy.
Even if I were the only guy on the forum to think so, I would still think that Santorum had more on the ball than these two.
Color me disenfranchised, AGAIN!
I’m liking this Santorum surge. Didn’t expect he’d be in the race by now. Bottom line, I like the fact he seems
scandal free thus far, and enunciates the values I seek in a candidate. At the end of the day, either guy could get my vote.
I hear a lot of people talking about how endorsements don’t matter because they make up their own mind. Kind of funny how the polls take 10-20 point swings everytime the media decides to hype/gripe a candidate. Kind of like members of the book of the month club proclaiming their literary independence.
I am not voting for Santorum. Neither are my family.
I will do a write in ( for Newt)
