None of the people I am speaking of need jobs. My brother and his circle of friends did things right, and they are well to do as a result, they are in the 1%.
What they are looking for is someone they are comfortable voting for, and as much as I HATE to say this, that person right now is Mitt Romney. However, it doesn’t look like Romney is going to get the nomination at this time, so if it’s Rick, he is going to have to do something to calm their concerns about how he comes across on social issues.
I’m not sure how that is done, but I know he isn’t doing it now.
I am still holding out hope that Newt pulls this out somehow, because to me he comes across as the most well reasoned person able to best communicate conservative principles at this time, but for whatever reason, he is struggling.
Last thing we need to run in this election with upwards of 20 million young people undemployed/underemployed/not employed in careers they even remotely trained for is a guy known for consolidating businesses, excessing surplus workers, and produce lean, trim money making machines (after selling off the residual at a deep discount).
They want to hear about creating 19 milion jobs real darned quick. Newt can do that.
