No question about it. Newt is far superior in dealing with media questions loaded with collectivist, nanny government premises. And his comprehensive slate of plans on energy, taxes, Social Security, are the best.
I just don’t understand why he is not the landslide winner in the primaries, except that it seems Romney has the benefit of establishment type Republicans while Santorum is getting the Church Lady contingent. These two groups don’t really seem to vote based on specific issues, but rather a personal identification with certain aspects of candidates’ expressed values and ideology.
The American voter more appreciates looks now; looks, noise and camera friendly heroics. More than a record of accomplishment and historic leadership in blowing up Democrats.
Yep, Romney has McCain’s supporters, the folks who have the ‘sure bet’, and Santorum has the Huckabee evangelicals.
Church Lady contingent? Gee aren’t you rather prejudiced?
Pretty good analysis.
