I call Bull! My family has had 3 photos with him in the last 6 months, at different campaign events, for FREE. He worked the crowd and the lines for more than 30 minutes, taking pictures with anybody that wanted one. Standing beside him waiting for him to autograph my signs (for free) we heard him say, time after time, to people in the line “do you want to take a picture?”
Maybe in a setup campaign fundraiser this is happening, just like the $10,000 per plate “dinners” that other campaigns have. But in regular campaign events, NO.
A lot of people are pulling for Newt.
Maybe they need to pull out their wallets and give him some funding so he can keep the conversation going.
I read the other day that Santorum has suggested that he and Mitt have a debate (no Newt).
After canceling 3 debates to keep from looking like lightweights next to Newt, Rick is thinking he can go one on one with Mitt and look like Newt.
Fat chance.
