Santorum cannot defeate Obama either.
Newt is the only candidate who would connect with the public once he became exposed. He would appeal to all sides because of his plain speaking, intelligent and level headed approach.
The only reason he could not recover from the Romney lies and propaganda in Florida, is that this swarm if ignorant lemmings, who stampeded from candidate to candidate, thinking that the “Anybody but Romney” insanity would actually work. And since Newt was not “perfect” enough for their incessant search for the “Holy Grail” candidate, we now find ourselves in this mess.
The timing was all wrong for Newt. And now that it is obvious that Newt cannot recover, his numbers will guarantee that will happen.
