I’m hoping that Newt can pull this off.

Santorum is going to get hit by adds that constantly replay his “Satan controls all aspects of America, such as media, academia and mainline churches” sermon.

Newt will be hit by “he has been married three times.”

Somehow I imagine that the coveted moderates will be more repulsed by the Satan claims than by the three wives things.

Either guy is much preferred to the Romulan Commander.

Come on NEWT. AL and MS need a State wide GOTV for Newt.

Voting is severly down compared to the 2008 Primaries.

Turnout is Huge. Newt lost winning all of GA 76 Delegates by roughly 25,000 votes.

That PLEDGED delegate count is a huge selling point. I hope he hammers it home.

He is treating the other two flame throwers gingerly, given the close race. I pray to God the religious Right wakes up!

They have a tendency to vote for what is said over the real record.

Rick Santorum campaigns on family values and legislates to the unions, and with the RINO Establishment, never to do one single thing for family values when in office and in a position to do so.

Every. Single. Time.

I think Newt needs to emphasize REELECTABILITY over electability. We can’t afford to nominate someone who isn’t competent, experienced and will do a good job as President. If our President does a bad job, we’ll lose Congress in 2 years and lose the presidency in 4 years, creating a powerful liberal majority with a mandate. Just focusing on who can get elected in November is dangerously shortsighted. Let’s look back to Newt’s sweep in 1994 after which we held onto Congress for 12 years and the Presidency for 14 years, partly because Newt did such a good job running things while he was there.

The AJC is either lying or not paying attention. For weeks now, Newt has been stressing American energy, jobs and national security. He only mentions Obama’s war on religion in passing, if he even mentions it at all in his stump speeches.

It’s Santorum who lacks focus and is all over the map in his rambling speeches, often prone to droning on and on about religion.

Try to buy a clue, AJC. It’s the only way you’ll ever get one.
