For years, people have said Perot threw the election to Clinton, but I believe GHWB threw the election as he was super subservient to Clinton; Perot was without any electoral votes, but he probably hurt GHWB in two or three states. But I don’t see anyway to think that Newt’s chances are any better than Perot’s ever were, and he is hurting Santorum by being in the race, particularly in the winner-take-all situations. I don’t think who Newt helps or new Newt hurts means a hoot to Newt.
Correction: I don’t think who Newt helps or who Newt hurts means a hoot to Newt.
