I stand corrected. I must have missed one of your quotes, and assigned that line to you. Please accept my apology.

Since you and I are on the same page, I believe that this is the time to oppose the GOP-E and their endorsements of the most liberal Candidate in the field.
The GOP-E has learned NOTHING from their failures of the past.
It will be time to take over the RNC if the Tampa Convention does not produce a Nominee that gives America a clear, and distinct choice between the present policy of “both” political parties: DEBT, DECLINE, and DIVISION, and a National policy of cutting Federal spending to be below the average of the previous 2 years total Federal income.
It is disappointing to read that Newt is making more remarks about supporting Romney than he is making about what the RNC needs to do to provide America with a distinct choice in November.
If Newt thinks that Romney will choose him for Veep, that may explain his change of position.
However, The Romney Road to Ruin is so similar to that Wrong Track of Obama, that even the “clothes pin voter” will not be swayed by Newt being on the ballot.
Time for Newt to make his pitch to reform the RNC by challenging the GOP-E now. What odds do you give for that happening?
While I am convinced he must, I doubt very much he will. There are a tone of things I love about NG (and a few I ‘really’ don’t), but I believe he would be a good president. Palin was my choice, but I’m aligned enough with Newt philosophically to be able to cast a vote for him without hating myself.
Because of the modern ‘dynamics’ of today’s political/media climate, a big media day can make/break a campaign. It’s insane, but it’s true. One sentence can and does turn campaigns around. Or one ‘action’. Bachmann lost it hiring the Rino, Cani with the Bimbo BS (setup, granted but it is an example), Perry did it with a word alone - “Heartless”.
If Newt were to do a PR/Press/event and say “BTW folks, In case you missed it due to non coverage by the msm, I’m still in the race and since I’m the only conservative standing, I’d like to introduce you to my running mate, Sarah Palin/Allen West (for example). We feel that Romney is not the right man for leading the country at this crucial juncture in history and we are asking that even if the GOP refuses to get behind us, you will.”
Something like that would instantly turn those dynamics upside down and whatever he does, he batter do it before any more primary votes are cast.
IMO/FWIW/YMMV ECT.
