But Rick was 3rd I think?....and 3rd in the one state you were counting on to win is not good enough to have any reason at all to stick around.
ron Paul is going to be sticking around for a while as his stronger States are not coming up in line for a while...so paul will be in the news off and on for a while yet.
Newt is simply the last man standing.
Newt had a great debate, right at the time that Mitt had a bad debate...
all the flaws with newt are a moot point.
the only thing Newt has to be from now on to win it all, is "Not Mitt"
Nothing else matters at this point...all the flaws people might see in him are not revelant to why he is going to get their vote...
Newt is going to get votes because he is simply not Mitt at this point....so listing his flaws is not addressing the reason for his win.
Newt won SC, (and no one gets to be President without winning SC ), and he won SC because he was simply the last guy standing.
and THAT also is the reason that the same people who have voted for him in SC, also would support an Open Convention where all these guys could be dumped, and a whole new list of names picked to lead the ticket.
