Yeah, I really don’t understand how so many people here are acting like establishment Republicans and demanding we support one of the two “electable” candidates.
I think some of it might have to do with the fact that so many Freepers deluded themselves into thinking Palin would jump in that they didn’t want to commit to Santorum earlier. Now they see it as too late so they’re clinging to Newt on the premise that he can beat Romney.
If only they’d jumped in for Santorum earlier we might not have to settle.
Good post. I think that Santorum would be the freeper candidate without all the asterics needed for Gingrich if Gingrich hadn’t had some great hits at our enemy the media at the debates. But Santorum last week showed that he is dang good at hitting his opponents in debates and could indeed bring it to Obama.
The coalesce thing really only works if the one you are coalescing around isn’t a morally weak narcissist who is unfit for leadership.
