http://www.cnbc.com/id/45955056<snip>
Since the Bain attacks began, Romney has received support from some of the more conservative Republicans he's had trouble winning over with his more moderate record.
"I just don't think conservatives in this country are happy with Republicans attacking a form of free enterprise," he said.
<snip>
The only thing Newt is doing is solidifying Mitt's image as a pro-corporate, pro-wealthy elitist who doesn't give a shit about the working people.
Surprise, surprise!

why do you think huckabee did so well. the economic message, especially when discussing personal stories speaks to these people.
when you just talk about taxes in general and socail programs . that doesn't speak to them.
but jobs, stealing retirement funds etc speaks to these people.

The Wall Street types can't stand the religious types, and vice versa.
