Different mindsets. Newt goes exclusively after Romney- not conservatives, If you have any you tube ads to the contrary, I’m sure you’ll produce them.
Rick S and Rick P both ran many negatives ads against Newt- The most recent one was run by Rick S in the mid-west after Fla-
But, rather than rely on your opinion or my opinion- let’s rely on a 3rd independent source. I’m sure you’ll agree as a matter of fact that the Romney Camp, the GOP-E and its friendly press have been trying to get Newt to withdrew.
Now, why would they do that, if they felt Newt’s withdrawal with help Rick? They’ve obviously concluded the opposite.
Since they have a vested interest that is disproportionate to our subjective judgment— I would conclude that Newt’s presence hurts Romney, and helps Rick-—for the present.
Not accepting your premise was the purpose of my original post.
