“Am I in a time warp?”
Yes, because the Newt lovers won’t let it go.
A. The Prez event is 50 separate contests. As far as supporting any particular candidate, I would ask, “what state?” .... hard to support somebody who has no campaign in that state.
B. RS focused so heavily on IA that he had no campaign in NH until 5 days before primary day. And in ME, he refused to appoint any body as head of his campaign which made it IMPOSSIBLE to campaign for him. NOBODY spoke for RS at most MAINE caucuses because nobody was authorized to do so! If I were in IA, I would have gone for RS to defeat MITT.
C. In CT, there was an official straw poll 5 days after RS “suspended” ... the RS folks showed up and tried for votes ... Mitt won by 2 votes over Newt. The RS voters who wanted to stop MITT were beyond foolish that day.
D. Before y’all can nominate a conservative, the Bush-Romney wing needs to be DEFEATED. Only then will the field be opened up enough to consider an alternative. A two-step process. 1) Defeat the Insiders. 2) Nominate a conservative. (You cannot do #2 until after #1 is accomplished.)
E. See above. I will support whomever has the best chance to stop Romney/Bush in NH .... which I calculate to be Walker today. But if he develops no campaign there ... I find somebody else.
