Because jm has a seriously overinflated sense of importance and thinks I'd be "angry" at his silly idea that his type dominates my party.
"better than 90%"?! What, did I go through a slump?
Yes, since 1980, the GOP candidate I have supported going into Iowa has gone on to win the nomination. But that was probably true for 15-25% of the GOP primary voters going into 2012.
2012 is more challenging because the field is so weak, much weaker than even 2008, and there are simply no good choices, which is why we have gone from one FOTM to another in a desperate attempt to find something acceptable.
For my streak to continue in 2012, Newt has to win the nomination.
But, I am asking for a caveat this year: since a) I’ve been calling for a late entrant (and taking a lot of flack from other posters for doing so), and b) I made it clear since 2010 that none of the candidates running (including Newt) were in my top 50…I want the option (which I may or may not choose to exercise) to switch to a late entrant (if one emerges to my liking) within 48 hours of them entering the race. Deal?In any case, if Newt wins FL, it’s going to be really fun to watch the establishment piss in their pants.
