If you are so sure that Newt can win, he best be posting a victory or in the top 2 real soon. So far, he hasn’t placed well.

No use asking others to drop out for a 4th place contender.

Perhaps it is Newt that needs to drop out.

We will see after SC.

It’s not about where Newt is placing in the polls or in Iowa or New Hampshire. That’s my point. People are supporting/voting for candidates who can’t (a) win, and (b) do the job once they are in office.

Does anyone honestly think Santorum is going to earn the respect (or fear) of Democrats when in office? He’s a kid who needs more life experience before he attempts to lead the United States of America.

Does anyone honestly think Perry, who wants to put Congress on half-time hours will get the work done that needs to be done? We need those Congress-critters to work overtime to fix all the problems, not go home for more “recess” time. Children in school get “recess” — Congress needs to knuckle down and get to work. Gingrich would make them do the hard work, immediately.

Gingrich wouldn’t be polling or performing so low if, as my original post indicated, people would pull their heads out of their butts and vote for someone who can DO THE JOB we need them to do. Santorum can’t do it, and Perry can’t do it, and those who support those guys - while I admire their loyalty - are dividing the vote and will give the win to Romney.

I was a Cain supporter, but I would be saying the same thing now if Cain was still in and if Cain was only pulling 5-15% and causing a split vote like these other guys are. We have a situation where 75% of the GOP are going to be unhappy with the winner, which will be Romney. And it’s all because people are too stubborn to go for their second choice. Better to win with one’s second choice, than to lose with one’s first choice.

Get behind Gingrich. And pass it on.
