Well, I guess we just disagree. I can see that Rick is trying to win. Newt shot himself in the foot by tring to go tit-for-tat with the highly negative Romney campaign. He was already on thin ground with those that were pissed about him pulling the rug out from under Paul Ryan. He seemed to confirm the concerns people had by attacking capitalism of all things when going after Romney. That was the last straw for many that were giving him the benifit of the doubt and already had serious concerns. Rick benifited from the Newt exodus. That is Newt’s fault and Ricks lucky timing, not anything else.
What happened is that everyone who is against the right, including Romney and his millions in funding, have done their best to stop Newt, 1 year ago, or 2 years ago, or 3 years ago, we could not have named who would be in the Newt position as the conservative threat to Romney, but we knew exactly what the response would be and how thorough it would be, and we conservatives worried about how effective it could be.
One thing that seems to be true about this move back and forth between Romney and Santorum supporters here at freerepublic, I cannot think of any of the past Romney fans, who are backing Newt.
Good Gosh, you are another sleeper account who just showed up last month to bash Newt Gingrich.
