Newt was right. Big gaffe. You never tell half of the country to go to hell no matter what-you wanted another Obama, no, thanks. You build people up, not insult them. Mitt came across as arrogant and out of touch. The Newt and Palin haters are like a cancer or maybe dressed up as conservatives. Newt has done more to lift people out of poverty. No wonder our side keeps losing.
Unless you are a Democrat I guess... then it's expected
I agree with the Palin presidency, but Newt is spoiled goods to many in the base...no matter what how good his politics are...like Herman Cain, his need to express his manhood is unacceptable to the “fundamentalists” who make up a chunk of the base.... I disagree with that basis for choosing a candidate, but don't think you can get a strong constitutional candidate without the religious portion of the base...we are a flawed party.

You are correct. As much as I agree with what Romney said, you run against the other candidate, not the electorate you are asking to vote for you. To the wider electorate, the remark was divisive.
