Argubaly? How about hands down? Other than his splendid ability to handle the press and shine in debates, Newt has a ton of baggage. Paul Ryan has none.
Conservatives could easily get behind Paul Ryan. The GOP establishment, not so much.
What do we have to loose by going to convention that isn’t already on the line? Newt needs to stay and so does Santorum....otherwise we will end up with Romney.
Santorum cannot stand one to one against Romney and win. I know he thinks so, and his supporters do. But those who are closest to understanding and knowing both these candidates and elections say he cannot, as well with what will come against him he won’t be able to handle it....it’s not just Romney Santorum would go up against, it’s the machinery behind Romney, and that comes from all directions including internationally, who will with certainty take Santorum down if he’s left standing alone in this primary. Newt has to remain in this.
Nobody can say how a convention would go anymore than with certainty know how this primary will end. It’s already Historical in how it’s playing out, and remember Newt said right from the beginning in his speeches this Primary election would not be the traditional.
We really can’t loose anymore than what’s already there to loose by going to convention.....
