Topic: The Rise of Newt Gingrich
Well at this point Newt is kicking ass. His campaign just scored a major triumph over Mitt Romney.
And then there was the South Carolina success.
The victory is that Jeb Bush was said to be waiting to endorse Mitt Romney in Florida's Primary, close to the Primary. These rumors circulated forever with no counters from Jeb or Mitt.
Suddenly Newt slams down in SC and Jeb makes an announcement right after... yes right after the vote, that he will endorse no one, and that Mitt by the way should release his tax records.
That is as stunning of evidence of a backwalk as there can be.
Florida is a winner take all State, and remarkably Newt in the last two debates moved neck and neck with Mitt there (in polls). An endorsement by Jeb would have potentially sealed it for Mitt, but now if Jeb is backwalking, it almost certainly shows he thinks Newt is going to win in Florida.
If Newt wins Florida he will knock Santorum out, and put Ron Paul in the kiddie seat at the table. Since the vast majority of Santorum voters would go immeadiately to Newt, this means that once again Florida may decide our candidate.
Will this be Newtopia? Will the rise of NewTwo be dangerous for us? Will the Newton discover a new gravity in politics? Is this Newtacular?
In any event I formally endorse Newt. I have severe issues with some of his stances, but like Princess Leia said "Help us Newtobi Wan Kenobi, your our only hope."
Kemp currently not being responded to until he makes CONCISE posts.
Avogardo and Noir ignored by me for life so people know why I do not respond to them. (Informational)
