Dear Josh,
We do the math and we go to war. It is not a patriotic gesture for “good men to do nothing” by casting a mathmatical vote that effectively in Florida is a clear and present danger to the ONE man who can stop him.
This has absolutely nothing to do with me trying to win or lose your vote, but your conscience sees the math for Florida. You will follow your conscience to the extent that it is informed of what is at stake. God be with you, and you don’t worry about the “way to win them over”. Just do your math and pull the lever if you are in Florida. You can be cranky in some other state over the santorum vote, but do right in Florida what IS RIGHT.
Yes, Santorum is wonderful man who has known family heartache and he is easy to pray for, especially now that we are informed the daughter is staying in the hospital tonight. God be with him and each and all of us.
Please don’t get me wrong, RitaOK. I’m all in for Newt. I know how much he needs Santorum supporters to vote for him in Florida. But I know some Santorum supporters, and they will not be persuaded to vote for Newt to stop Romney by dissing their guy or dissing them.
Newt has been careful not to trash any other GOP candidate except Romney (who deserves it). I think, in part, that this is what helped him win Rick Perry’s endorsement. And it’s about to pay off for Newt big time, as some of Perry’s high-dollar contributors have been in discussions with the Gingrich camp about making donations to Newt’s campaign.
It’s a cliche, but it still rings true. You can attract many more flies with honey than you can with vinegar.
Just watch. Now Mitt’s supporters will tell Santorum supporters that some guy on FR called them “a bunch of flies.”
;-)
Thanks,
