Looks like Newt is throwing some jabs today while Rick is under fire for dare trying to embarrass Willard in his own home state. I think though that the union jab will actually help Rick in two states: MICHIGAN and Pennsylvania.
Oh, well...that’s politics. And timing.
I don’t quite get the connection myself, actually, about the timing either. I do believe there has to be a reason for the timing.
Could it be that Newt got a really giant financial boost, more than we may know, enough to launch a really grand assault on all fronts, at the same time, starting immediately, as he prepares to try to enter the South for the win, which he forthrightly states is necessary for him to succeed.
Maybe his magic time keeper blew the whistle and said, “you have given Rick enough romping room for no return, and the time has come to take him OUT.”
Otherwise, yes, I too am curious about the timing shot in Michigan by Newt. For one thing, the money. Since Newt is not actively contending MI, what is the strategy for the expenditure.
This tells me something IS up with Newtster. We will know more soon. :)
