Gingrich - Santorum 2012.
I can live with that. However,I won't support Perry under any circumstances. He's as much a charlatan as Romney is and is now poised to give Romney a boost in SC by diminishing Newt and Santorum instead of doing the right thing for conservatism and bowing out. Besides, Obama would eviscerate him in any event.
So Newt and Santorum it will be for me, albeit warily. Obama must be stopped and statist RINOs need not apply.
Yeah, whatever happened to "going home to Texas to consider if there's a way forward" for his candidacy? Not twelve hours after he made that statement, he was all giddyup to go to South Carolina.
I wondered last night, if he didn't get a phone call from the RINO establishment, begging him to stay in long enough to split the conservative vote in S.C.
With his dismal showing in the polls over the last six months, his awful performances in the debates and on the campaign trail, and his poor fifth place showing in the Iowa caucus, what conceivable reason can he have for continuing on at this point?
Color me highly skeptical.
The electoral process is inimical to our cherished American exceptionalism. Americans have come to expect a standard of behavior from those who present themselves as presidential candidates. American exceptionalism is key——voters can and should reject those candidates who do not meet the standard.
Newt’s front-runnning status is undoubtedly fueled by his debate responses. Of all the candidates, Newt, alone, has exhibited a formidable presence, and a studied detachment. Newt’s winning Americans over with his profound knowledge of (and a good-natured willingness to explain) govt minutiae to attentive voters.Newt allied himself with Reagan into building the Reagan Coalition. The resultant Reagan Revolution had enornmous consequences: the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, a shrinking government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, long-standing Reagan economy. The ACU gave him a 100% rating.
