You know who else was a huge supporter of the Bridge when she ran for Gov? Sarah Palin. She actually mocked the fact that the bridge went "Nowhere".
Would she be disqualified as a Presidential candidate for her support of this spending?

LOL!
Excellent! I am going to send that reminder tomorrow to everybody I know working the phones and in La. Freepers always make the best phone calls for Newt, they always do!
Thanks!!
We need some game-changer to turn things around. But what would that be?
************
I think you’re analysis is correct—
I think Newt’s strategy has been the same from day one— and it didn’t make for a good campaign.
In the 1st 16 debates (+/-), a poll showed that 50% who watched, considered him the clear winner- no one a close second.
That’s been his strategy— if he could just present himself- unfiltered- people would come to understand that he was the proper choice to lead the country in 2013. Rightly or wrongly, that’s what he believed.
So, his campaign having imploded in Fla- knowing right then and there- that no one could compete with Romney’s limitless funds— he sought to change the rules of engagement.
Since Romney would win through the primaries- the only alternative for Newt was to stop him from attaining the requisite majority- and create for himself another window ( in this case June through the convention) to set up an alternative national debate - where again he cold outclass his opponents, safe from Romney’s negative advertising.
Your captioned question- what will be the game changer- is just what Newt is hoping for (his only hope). Iran closing the straits, unrest in the ME, $6.00 gas over the summer— anything that would get the focus on the need for a leader and drive national interest to that potential debate.
Anyway, that’s what I think his play is.
you are right. Newt is counting on events intervening, his grassroots becoming more and more dedicated and effective, and finding a way to get his message out over the media, which is pretty much shutting him out now. It also helps when the Obama White House responds to him as though he were their equal... people are noticing that... I am helping them to notice that... :)
. I am helping them to notice that... :)

For sure, you are.
Well no time to waste. Let’s get on with it and find out for CERTAIN.
Thanks for the advance warning, so a counter narrative giving the full story can be developed ASAP to Santorum callers and to the Santorum campaign, if and when such an issue came up in Lousiana.

It should have been broadcasted all over the airwaves. Vesty really wanted the bridge to nowhere.
Like I said, thanks for the advance “G-2”, to counter, if necessary.
With all of them flawed, Romney has the money and the ground crew which gives him the upper hand.
While we talk about flaws, have you seen any flaws in that Obama guy?
LOL
..but I watched it LIVE....and there were over 1000 people patiently waiting outside ... Rick thanked them .....
..this is Gettysburg!--
Rick has set his fact like flint.....he is a warrior for Freedom, and he will press on !
Craps out last night? Please he lost a blue state. Big Deal. He will win Louisiana on Saturday. He is winning the states that count. You think Romney is going to win Illinois in November?????? No way.
