So what's the point of the author writing this, and your posting it? Is it that I, and every other person who voted in Louisiana yesterday are irrelevant? That our votes count for nothing and should just be ignored? Perhaps we should just not show up and vote in the general election this fall since our opinions are worthless?

Just down the road from me in St. Martinville, is the gravestone of one Jefferson Deblanc, a Cajun USMC fighter pilot from WWII who is also a winner of the MOH. He, and countless others put everything on the line for my right to vote and to ensure my vote counted for something. Those who would argue otherwise aren't fit to shine the man's shoes.

Before you post such ignorant drivel you may want to read his MOH citation. People like Colonel Deblanc, that is to say, the people who have made America great, don't look at the numbers or the odds and give up. In fact, they openly defy them and make a difference in doing so. The same kind of apathetic, whiners now telling Rick he has no chance would have looked at then 1LT Deblanc back in the early days of the Pacific War, flying his battered Hellcat against a swarm of Zeroes and Oscars and told him he didn't have chance, either.

You may not be familiar with the concept, but free people can be full of surprises.

You understand, don't you, that you are describing Newt's supporters, of which I am one, who have stayed with him through great great odds. We are working towards our third resurrection now. I am from a military family, you don't need to tell me anything about the sacrifice of our military, nor how they are suffering under their diminution by this administration... I didn't post ignorant drivel, I posted an opinion shared by many in the conservative media, and others, with about the same number disagreeing with it... of course, supporting Santorum, you are unable to fairly evaluate two sides of an argument... it's your way or the highway.
