Gingrich is a good man- but at this point in time he needs to put country first and gracefully withdraw. If by any chance Romney pulls off a win in either MI or AZ, he has Gingrich to thank for. Romney is pulling ahead of Santorum with the female vote although not by much, but his lead with this demographic is leaps and bounds over Gingrich who gets mainly the male vote. If Gingrich drops off, much of this male vote will go into the Santorum column. The sure and decidedly clear way to stop Romney is for Gingrich to withdraw.
Early in the race, Gingrich himself wanted Santorum to withdraw. But now Gingrich doesn’t have a snowball in hell’s chance of winning any more states with the possible exception of GA and even there his lead is very narrow. His campaign is kept alive only because of Vegas gambling mogul Adelson who may have ulterior motives in slowing down Santorum’s momentum and in effect helping Romney. There is a distinct possibility that the Gingrich die-hards are being taken for a ride.
From the get-go, Gingrich came into the race with baggage large enough to fit into the holds of a luxury liner and make it sink. His negatives are through the cellar. It’s time for him and all of us to face reality. Gingrich can make a good Sec. of Education or Labor in a Santorum administration.
The good of the nation will be served by him winning and implementing his agenda, not by tossing the race to some guy because he has some bandwagon thing going on.
Those of us that support Newt do so because we actually KNOW what he stands for and what he wants to do, not because he can rattle off some generic talking points and take a good photo.
Heaven willing, people on our side will actually grow a brain and start acting like we care more about positions and less on emotional attachments before it gets us into a horrible spot when it will be far too late to change.
baggage large enough to fit into the holds of a luxury liner and make it sink...
You speak an extreme exaggeration of truth. Newt’s positives far outweigh his negatives.
Excellent points there.
And if Newt were clobbering Rick in EVERY current poll except Georgia where it’s narrowing...
I’d demand that Rick endorse Newt.
But it is about time for Newt to back his former student.
CONSERVATIVES UNITE! Beat Willard the liberal.
You are so full of crap.
I will continue to support Newt because he is the right man for the job.
Our country does not need televangelist for a president. We need a real leader, a proven leader and one that can turn this disaster around, quickly and intelligently.
Win or lose, I will know that I voted for the right man. I will not be pleased to see Newt lose (God forbid), but unlike Saint Santorum, I will have stuck to my principles and voted for what I strongly believe in.
