Only instead of Dollars per Cubic Inch, it's Dollars per minute of TV.
All TV, not just the paid for "approved by candidate..." obvious ones.
There's much more money spent on Public Relations in this country
than on journalism, and many, many more PR people than journalists.

Just as toxic to fundamentalist Christians as Mormons are. The only hope they have is the rapture.

What a choice, a papists or a weird cultist - I wonder what the Southern Baptist Convention will have to say about this?

Newt would/will self-destruct many times between now & whenember.
He wakes up playing with the pin on the grenade. Imagine the fiery Napoleonic
plans flying around inside his big ripe head. He really wants to let it all
out. Those five little seconds of speechlessness in the last debate
were him at the crossroads of detonation, but he held it in. It'll get out,
and again & again.

the White House, TPTB know him a lot better and they're shitting their pants at the thought. There's that chance, however small, that Neut just might win.

They might not like Romney, but he's not going to pull the country down like Neut would, win or lose.

(And, there's always the thought of a brokered convention with maybe someone else stepping in.)

But Willard is traditionally full of shit - like this old school, "dry" shit spreader - if you don't lay it on too thick, it don't stink too bad......


Newt OTOH is a new standard in full of shit - like this new-tech liquid spreader - spilling over the top, spraying in all directions, don't get downwind 'cuz this shit would gag a maggot, fresh outa the giant lagoon SHIT!
