>> Santorum has a robo call tonight urging a vote for him because Gingrich and Paul are not in the running.

Wow! “Uncool” as the saying goes.

YAAAHLL instead of yawl?

Cheesy grits?

Strange things are happening to him?

Hang in there, Newt!

You think that if Romney wins Alabama or Mississippi it’s over. Newt is beating him in both. Why would you want Newt to drop out?

What was the point you were laboring to make?

Rick had a good night. Rather Obama had a good night. The left are excited Rick might be the nominee.

Sure...keep telling yourself that. The USA had a good night. The only candidate with a chance of beating obammy won two states that newt’s supporters were telling me for weeks he was guaranteed to win.

[trappedincanuckistan]

Keep telling yourself that. The left is excited. The smiles on the faces of “news “analysts”, and Democrat strategists were unmistakable. Rick energizes the left’s base. All those people that were dissatisfied with Obama will crawl to the polls to vote against Rick.

And you believe that Newt would be a better choice? Because of his popularity with the voters? Because of his high approval numbers which are consistently at 61% disapprove? Because he's such a start with liberals and independents? Because he's such a hit with women voters? If Newt were the candidate it would be Nixon vs McGovern again only in reverse. Anyone with any political acumen at all can see that if they put aside their emotion and look at the question objectively.

When Newt first announce and for months afterwords nearly every Freeper who posted about his chances had a good laugh at the prospect. I can go back and find posts from many of his loudest cheerleaders if I had the time doing just that. I got news for them...the idea's as laughable today as it was then.
