Seriously? How’d Newt do in those states?

Newt had to encounter what establishment Rick never did: a week of false smears from the likes of Eliott Abrams and other GOP-E insiders. Those smears were carried throughout the media and in effect, a free multi-million dollar negative ad campaign. Even with those hurricane forces against him, Newt finished second in Florida and turnout in counties he won were up sharply as in South Carolina.

Newt arrived in Nevada days after Rick and Ron Paul and was expected to lose both to Mitt and Ron. Instead Newt finished second in Nevada, but the press played up Mitt winning (with a 90% Mormon vote) instead of Newt overtaking Ron Paul and beating expectations. Nevada was a case where Ron and Rick spent more time than Newt and came in third and fourth respectively.

“...Newt finished second in Nevada”

So this is indicative of a groundswell of support for Newt? Second place? In Nevada?

Please. Newt is not a serious candidate. He professes to be the “anti-Romney” but he’s helping Mitt through his refusal to admit that he’s got no chance.

Newt is so megalomaniacal that he’d sacrifice anything, even everything if it meant he’d have a chance of getting elected. He’s nothing more than a self-centered twit at this point.

His time would be better spent shopping at Tiffany’s hoping his wife will stick with him having lasted well past his political expiry date.
