The thing that discouraged me about Newt is in June, 2011 he took off for a cruise with his wife. He didn’t spend that time getting on ballots in several states. He didn’t spend that time getting more organized or having fundraisers. He took a vacation right during the most important time of setting up a campaign. For President of the United States, no less.
If it wasn’t the vacation, I bet it would have been something else that discouraged you about Newt.
