Some people are trying to be realistic here. Is Newt even running a real campaign anymore anyway? He's flat broke to the tune of 4.5 million in the hole and appears to have remained in the race just to keep some media attention on his speeches. He's said several times Romney is the likely nominee and that he is remaining in the race to help shape the platform. When Santorum dropped perhaps Gingrich was hoping for a resurgence, but his SuperPAC backer(s) are long gone and he simply doesn't have the support to even compete. It looks to me like he is just out having some fun, enjoying what media attention he has left till it officially runs out.
I chose to support Newt after Perry dropped out, Palin voted for him, Todd endorsed him, he has a lot of support on FR, but none of it has made any difference. Political realities are what they are and sometimes you have to accept them. I suppose the Rochester school of the Blind MIGHT be able to beat the NY Giants, but come on, we all know what is going to happen and pretending otherwise is beginning to border on silliness.
Defeatism is not realistic. If The Founders had been “realistic” we’d still be a colony.

That would APPEAR to be accurate but allow me to forward an out of the box view and a question.
What is a valuable tactic a General use in a battle?
Would it not be to confuse the ‘enemy’ to where his attack is going to be launched?
Would the General also ‘let it be known’ that his resources are low so the ‘enemy’ won’t waste their ammunition on him?
As many have said on this VALUABLE thread...this battle isn’t over, we may have shed some blood in the process but it is righteous and it imperative we remain unbowed and resolute.
Glass half full.
