He's still on a roll and his Evangelical voters will continue to vote for him, despite this "latest misstep."
It started in Iowa, and but for one brief, and uplifting interruption in South Carolina, it continues onward. They're not voting for our next Commander-in-Chief, or for solid solutions to our economic problems, but they are voting....
What's going to change their vote to Newt Gingrich at this late date?
Santorum will never drop out. He should have done that after Florida, but he had his eye set on the Beauty Contests and it worked for him! Newt must have been asleep.
I don't see anyone dropping out. I just hope Newt Gingrich hangs tough and gets a lot more delegates to take us to a brokered convention!
Newt has the presence of the elder statesman, but too few appreciate or recall his importance to the survival of the Republican Party in ‘94 and the public eating of democrats in that election, due to Newt’s brain and single minded leadership.
Newt WAS the first Tea Party; Rick was but cutting teeth and needing handlers, and Romney was off being, well....being Romney— “off”.
Rick must fit the American voter today who, knowing nothing much of our history, rather likes bright, shiny objects who can strut and fret well on stage, with convincing passion and little to offer in either plan or strategy.
Depressing, I must say, but for a snarling good convention possibly. :)
