You both have made excellent points. Yes, I agree that Newt is the bigger man to now, after the negative campaigning by Romney in Florids, back Romney. I live in Florida, and out of 9 consecutive commercials, 8 would be bashing Newt, one would be positive. The mute button came in awfully handy.

Reaganite Republican, both Bachmann and Palin (especially Palin) could explain the conservative stand, but I’ve thought they were dismissed by the RNC because they are women. America is not ready for a Margaret Thatcher. I have wondered if this is why Sarah Palin decided not to run. The last 3 times I saw her on T.V. before she announced she wasn’t running, she looked sad/tired/ill/??? She said her family was for her running, and she certainly generated enthusiasm among Americans. This is the only reason I can think of why she didn’t run. I read where she told Michelle “it’s not (her) time yet”. Isn’t that what they told Romney in 2008?

All I can think of with Romney is “Obama lite”.

Thanks

Actually, I was a Palinista from Nov 2008, and wrote about the first Palin 2012 post I’ve ever seen back then-

I decided before most she wasn’t going to run, so I was backing Bachmann until she really fell apart, I jumped ship to Newt when he gathered momentum at hers and Perry’s expense.

Sounds like we took an identical path, interesting

As a defense hawk, I can’t stand Ron Paul- so now it’s down to the default setting I guess lol
