    A NOT Endorsement. | 19 comments (19 topical, 0 hidden)
    I'm not sure . . . (none / 0) (#3)

    . . . if you've noticed, but Rick Santorum is still in it.  All he did was take time off to be with his very ill 3-year-old daughter (and he probably isn't going to win Florida anyway).

    Just as a quick sidebar, according to The Green Papers, the "soft total" of delegates as of today (with Florida not in the mix yet) is:

    • Newt Gingrich:  27 delegates (4 IA + 23 SC) . . . why this doesn't include the 3 from Iowa that went to Rick Perry is beyond me
    • Mitt Romney:  17 delegates (6 IA + 7 NH + 2 SC + 2 from John Huntsman)
    • Ron Paul:  9 delegates (6 IA + 3 NH)
    • Rick Santorum:  6 delegates (6 IA)

    I'm not sure how we view Rick Perry around here, but I did notice that in return for endorsing Gingrich, Perry has been placed in charge of a committee tasked with investigating how to most effectively transfer back to state control everything that the 10th Amendment says ought to properly be exclusively under state sovereignty (along with the funding sources for those things).

    I'm not going to go into a whole lot of detail here (because I want to do it as a separate blog post), but I've started to notice that most of the negatives about Gingrich are either disinformation or outright urban legend.  (It's got to the point that Newt has a separate page on his campaign site devoted solely to setting the record straight.)  I'll grant that it isn't everything, but it's more than enough to raise a flag in my head every time someone tries to cite the negatives against NLG as reason to not vote for him.

    Realistically, we may be down to a three horse race by the time the primary gets to Michigan.  So we'll have to choose between Gingrich, Paul, and Romney.  (There's an outside chance that Santorum may still be viable by the time that the primary gets this far, but I'm not sure it's realistic.)  That being the case, I've already ruled out Romney and Paul as options in the primaries.
