I agree with you about Newt. He is “on”. His speech at Georgetown was stellar. Not the confrontational style in the two SC debates that catapulted him to victory in that states’s primary. But, very engaging, full of interesting facts, stories that ordinary people can relate to, very reasonable, inspiring in places, and his discussion about the loss of religion in our discussion was very poignant.
But, what’s he doing in Wisconsin? Isn’t he just running interference for Romney? He’d going to tip close Congressional Districts to Romney; and, he may also tip the state’s at-large delegates (who will be awarded WTA to the winner of the statewide popular vote).
Don’t Newt’s new found serenity AND his effort in Wisconsin point to a secret deal between him and Mitt?
I seriously doubt that. Mitt must be looking over his shoulder at the two candidates that he and his PAC has spent $40 Million maligning -- worried that they form an alliance going into the convention.
Conventional GOP "wisdom" ala Clinton pal Dick Morris yesterday on Hannity is --- Sanatorum scared all the GOP women moderates into Obama's arms and that Mitt has wooed them back and is now their "savior"; that Rick will lose all the upcoming elections [inc PA] and that he must drop out before his loss in PA to look gracious and to remain relevant in the party. Isn't that special?
Perhaps it's simply that Newt absolutely knows what the rats are going to do to romney in an election and that romney will never be president.
These racial tensions that obama is neutering like a child at breast? There's a good reason they want to run against romney.
It's going to be a very ugly thing.
