I think that Mitt introduced a toxicity to the Republican primaries, that is spreading and now causing fights among Newt v. Santorum supporters. Not unlike the evil supernatural spirits which caused such acrimony among fellow New Yorkers in the first Ghostbuster movie.
I’ll admit that I’m like a lot of Newt supporters in that I am disappointed in Santorum for piling on in some of Romney’s attacks on Newt (in contrast to Newt, who showed class and did not do the same when Romney attacked Santorum.) That said, I think both Newt & Santorum supporters should pledge to support the other guy against Romney, because Romney is a nowhere man, with no convictions and little character. Both Newt & Santorum are lifelong conservatives and individuals of solid character.
You're not talking about Dede Scozzafava, are you? ;-)
