I’m not beating up on Gingrich, but his groupies have left a bad taste in my mouth. They weren’t content to just disagree with Santorum, they set out to destroy him. They could have helped take down Romney when it mattered, but stubbornly refused to see the long term strategy and clung to the notion that Gingrich was going to make a come-back. Now they expect the Santorum supporters to just forget all the nasty remarks and the snarky put downs? Not this girl! I’d find it very hard to vote for Gingrich at this point due to their vicious attacks.
As a former Palin/Bachmann/Cain/DeMint/Perry/Santorum groupie, I'm stuck now as a Newt groupie - and I preferred Newt over Santorum although I could have supported either. I'm not as thrilled with Newt as I would have been with many of the other options if we had worked harder to choose a decent republican instead of a democrat with (R) after his name, but he's got my vote. This is a dreadfully important election, one that will decide the future of the western world, and I don't see much chance of a positive outcome. We have to elect so conservative a Congress that the liberal in the White House (a guaranteed outcome if it's a choice between Romney and Obama) can't do as much damage to our economy and to individual freedom as they want. Even with that Congress, this is going to be extremely ugly - SHTF and CW II are both possible.
