If Obama Wins North Carolina and Virginia, He Should Call Up and Thank Newt
(Of course, I notice they took that RomneyGuns.com web-site is down, but the damage was done.)
I really think this ad single-handedly cost Rmoney South Carolina in the primaries, and really hurt him in the South in general.
Newt is the main reason Virginia and North Carolina are even in play right now, due to serious lack of Republican enthusiasm down there thanks to Newt really slinging the mud.
If Santorum hadn't been such an arrogant P.O.S. and stuck in the race so long to split the conservative vote, I have no doubt Newt would have been the nominee.
Despite Newt's (many) faults, he would have been a much more formidable foe at this point in the race, I think. Without the "rich boy" handicap that is making it hard for Mittens to connect with the middle-class, and a much clearer choice for gun-owners in the general election as well.
