Newt was very well known my most, and most decided that because of his distant past, he did not fit the “perfect social CONservative” mold. (Forget the fact that Newt is a human being like the rest of us.)
We have always had a chance to win with Newt, and had the base, etc, stayed true, Newt would be well ahead by now and we would not keep waking up to this nightmare.
knowing that the most important thing in all of this, is to fix the economy and repair our damaged Capitalist system, the most obvious Man to fix that is Newt, and Newt only.
Yup.
IIRC, back in December Newt was beating Mitt in many states. Santorum was no where to be found.
Then the Romney and media propaganda started against Newt.
Then many, like lemmings, switched over to Santorum who IMO is as equally flawed if not worse than Newt.
All to the benefit of Romney and Obama.
