Newt the spoiler: Part II
For those who wonder what would happen to Gingrich’s voters if he pulled out of the race, Gallup says they’d most likely be evenly divided between Santorum and Romney. This would benefit Romney.
Of course, it’s pretty moot, because I don’t see that Newt has any intention of withdrawing his candidacy. He’s happy for the chance to stymie Romney, and he’s thoroughly enjoying the unaccustomed limelight. At the end of the day, he’d like to extract a few promises from the eventual nominee before he throws his delegates to him. And I bet that, in his heart of hearts, he thinks he still has a chance to win it himself.
“….he thinks he still has a chance to win it himself.”
Yes he does. Why? Because beneath his pose as a brainiac he’s a drool-cup wearing moron.
He’s happy for the chance to stymie Romney
I can’t say I blame him. Romney’s proxies have been pissing on Newt since December, and trying to pass it off as rain.
As Bismark is supposed to have said be polite, even in a declaration of war. You might need help from the people you’re fighting today at some point down the line. Really helps if they’re willing to listen to what you have to say, instead of slaming the door in your face after telling you to do an unnatural act upon yourself…
I R A Darth Aggie: the person who did the most to destroy Gingrich’s candidacy was Newt himself. The old Newt wouldn’t let the new Newt be.
It is funny how Newt and Santorum always blame any failure on their part as being a result of Romney’s negativity. They are beginning to sound like Obama blaming all of his ills on someone else. Maybe whiners aren’t ready to hold the highest office in the nation. I don’t recall who Romney blamed for his losses in Tennessee and Alabama. Oh, right, he didn’t. Time to grow up people…you are playing in the big leagues now.
