The endorsements probably helped a little bit.
However, it is also important to factor in the advertising timing. Mitt has been saturating the Florida airwaves non-stop with ads for a month. Because of his financial disadvantage, Newt bought the bulk of his advertising spots Friday-Tuesday, to maximize impact.
The endorsements and FINALLY having significant advertising have probably started to have some effect.
I forgot about the late advertising by Newt! Fabulous! They’ve got to be having an impact.
I honestly think Romney’s negative carpet bombing has to turn voters off at some point. Hope he has overdone it!!
Interesting comment by Fred....
Fred Thompson....”you know, there’s some old score settling going on.”
Newt had some run-ins with some people of his own party. .....but a lot of them were holding Newt’s coat back when he conceived of a way for the Republicans to take over and have a first Republican House Speaker in 50 years......When they balanced the budget,.... when he held Bill Clinton’s feet to the fire, .....and finally got welfare reform passed.... and we were winning elections....... And his personality and his leadership skills and all that didn’t seem to be a big problem back then,..... but when those poll numbers dropped off and we started losing some elections we should’ve won and so forth, everything changed.
