I see jmfcst is on board. Sorry for the Cain Train pun. Anyway, back to the point: is it time to turn to Newt? Perry decided to abandon his campaign tonight and Cain seems a little preoccupied these days. While I'd love to see Santorum step into the role of the "Anti Romney," Newt seems far better positioned to do so.
I can't believe it's happening but I might just have to support the guy.
This makes a lot more sense to me now than it did 2 months before Iowa. There's one week until South Carolina. Romney winning it escalates his momentum to the nomination. A slew of new polls show Newt moving into a much stronger position than Santorum to stop Romney from sweeping the first 5 contests.
I think the GOP electorate is about to boil over with anger. Anger about potentially facing a Romney nomination. Anger with the cowardly way the couple of dozen GOP big names stayed out of the contest. Anger at the establishment for endorsing a candidate who is so vague, it threatens the very purpose of having a political party.
They could, you know, just stop voting for him in these contests. That would help.
