Levin is a pragmatist. He believes in supporting the most conservative nominee that can win, but once the nominee is chosen (even if it is a RINO) he will support that candidate in an effort to defeat the greater Democrat evil. Levin often says that at the end of the day, he will support an orange juice can over Hussein.
As for Newt, he said Newt was mentally "losing it" and nobody needs to follow him as he ping pongs around. It was quite devastating to hear...
Yeah, he seemed pretty harsh. I get the feeling Levin was really kind of supporting Santorum and blames Newt for staying the race and conservative from coalescing behind Rick.
To be fair to Levin though, Newt is out of money and it really is pretty clear he can't stop Romney. I know it is hard to accept, but Willard is going to be the nominee and Levin is right to not lie to his audience about it.

Thanks, but no thanks. All I can say it is a good thing Levin et al were not on the banks of the Delaware on Christmas night, they'd be running to and fro telling the First Patriots they needed to be realists, and was King George really that bad? Forget the boats, did you see those ice floes, a lot of us don't even have shoes. It's Christmas, guys... it's freezing. Let's get some sleep... some nice hot rum.
What is wrong with all the so-called conservatives, including Levin, but all the others, also, they have no idea what it takes to give birth to or sustain Liberty. The raw risk and danger and impossible odds. The gut wrenching terror of going up against the entrenched powers that be...
Thanks, but no thanks. I'll pass on the realist stuff for now...
That would be logical if we were discussing someone like GWB, but this is Willard Romney we're talking about. The man is an abject, big L, liberal. He's barely half a step to the right of Obama. Throwing ones support behind him, as a logical conservative choice, makes no sense whatsoever.
Levin can't think, in my opinion. He's stuck in some non-existent paradigm. Romney will govern nearly identically as Obama, but without the charm (/sarc). Their agendas (by actual documentary evidence) are practically one and the same. There's nearly no daylight between them, yet we're supposed to believe that he's the safer choice.
Romney is NOT the safer choice, because Republicans will give him a pass on a heinous political agenda, where they'd be in FIRM opposition to Obama, were he to present the exact same things to them.
You would think that someone as smart as Levin could see this.
