I deeply appreciate the information. Silent running leaves room for bewilderment among the restless natives.

I knew he was doing some spade work on delegates, but it has been so very stealth that one could rightfully wonder wth was actually going on.

Knowing just this much is helpful and should strengthen his donations to begin a final push to convention.

I like the idea of one poster that ALL the conservative heavyweights should now come out loud and clear for Newt and coalesce to mount a full MOVEMENT campaign for Newt, in order to get us to convention with some firepower.

Even if we fail at the nomination, the GOP-E deserve to hear an unforgettable, resounding PROTEST that they are DONE.

The real conservative heavyweights did endorse Newt. Would love to see Newt go to Texas and campaign hard with Perry and Norris. Too bad Rush won't say more positive things about Newt now that the race is between Gingrich and Romney. To be honest..I never respected Rick Santorum. Sorry his precious daughter is ill ..she has suffered since birth. Must have been very hard for him to run for president with a terminally ill child..I could never do it. Prayer's UP for her and always have been but he knew the state of her health before he tossed his hat in the ring. As for Santorum's voting record, endorsements...like I said, "I never respected him or viewed him as either a fiscal or social conservative." How much you want to bet all future debates are OFF now with Santorum out. Romney won't debate again. Please send Newt money if you can spare it. GO NEWT! WOOT! WOOT!

I was just getting ready to leave for awhile and glad I got this post, because I was worried about your worries :)

Yes, the kind of backroom maneuvering you are talking about takes time - the first couple on board are the hardest - and then a little snowball effect whips in...

The delegate matter takes time, also,and the more quietly it is done, the better. the GOP has a lot of power everywhere at the state level. The one good thing: to some of the delegates, Newt is a truly historical figure, but Newt realizes more than them how easy it is to fold to pressure, no matter what they are saying now.

If you are doing any grassroots, what I am doing is just doubling down, until this all becomes clearer. Newt knows what he is doing.

I have a whole list of Santorum supporters, some family and friends, I am fairly friendly with, as long as I chose my subjects wisely, who I am now going to start contacting - reminding them that I could see them preferring Rick to Newt, but do they really want Romney over Newt now that rick is gone... I think that ground is very fertile... I hope so anyway.

But most of all - NO MATTER WHAT - He needs to go to the convention to do some major hammering there... We need to spoil their coronation. The conservative base has been wanting this showdown for a long time... whether Newt gets the nomination or not - I believe the showdown is important.

Stay Strong!!
