john micah and neither one of them sounded to me enthusiastic about the man they had endorsed. they both endorsed mitt romney. but if i can do my john micah properly, it was like, yeah, mitt romney. yeah, mitt romney. i think it s for the reason that michael is talking about. which is they know that newt is flawed. so they have no choice, they feel, but to be with mitt romney. but it s not because they like him personally or agree with him. if there s my breeze blowing here now in the last 24 hours with the strong endorsement of sarah palin to newt gingrich on fox, with rick santorum having left the state because his child is sick, with the bounce back reaction to a little too much dancing in the end zone prematurely by the romney crowd,
