I’m sick of everyone acting like Newt had his chance stolen. First of all, the FL debate helped derail Newt with his poor performance. Then he had a good AZ debate but it didn’t undo the damage.
And I personally think it’s about more than debates. I think Newt took Iowa personally and became obsessed with Romney. It wasn’t a good side of him and it stuck with many voters.
That may be all well and good. I’m just interested in nominating the man who can do the best job as President. As someone who showed he can advance good ideas, work tirelessly, reform government, and strongarm Democrats into going along with him, Newt is the best guy to solve our current problems. That’s the only criteria I ask people to look at and not irrelevant campaign or personal life minutiae.
