The idea that 33-32 is “winning” and that the guy with the 32 is a “loser” who should drop out is absurd.
The purpose of the primaries (does anyone remember) is to elect delegates to a deliberative body (the convention). What the deliberative body is supposed to deliberate about is who has the best chance of beating Obama in November.
Right now, that is as clear as mud. AND, after a long hot summer of OWS and black violence, with war perhaps underway and oil at $250, and unknown consequences of pending court cases, who knows? The correct answer on August 31 may be very, very different than what seems correct now.
If Gingrich had the 33 and Santorum the 32, that would not make Gingrich a “winner”.
The one thing that’s absolutely clear is that a strong and consistent MAJORITY of GOP voters don’t want Romney.
Not that that matters.
Conventional "wisdom" is spinning for Mitt. They are wrong about "inevitable" Mitt and should realize (we sure do) that by continuing to advance that lie, they are looking like paid, in-the-bag shills for the Establishment - the K Street to Wall Street crowd - who do NOT want power returned to the states or to shrink federal government because they are still profiting and sticking us with the bill.
As Newt rightly explains. Powers that be on the Hill will not voluntarily change. It is up to Americans to make it happen.
