They were being fooled all along and clueless to the fact. And the MA voters were fooled also. He can't stop being evil, it's who he is. They succumbed to his lies about Newt and with his appointed candidates guarding Newt's rise.
The great deceiver fooled them all and now they are looking to him as their savior. Evil brings those who embrace it down to it's level. All by design and the clueless where none the wiser as they jumped from candidate to candidate and snubbed the real conservative - the one with a proven record, the one more than able to make change and ready to do it. It was pitiful to watch.
I'm going to bed. Night. :-)
