| This is what you call a 'bounce,' part II - Romney back on top |
|---|
As I reported Monday, polls taken immediately after South Carolina's primary last Saturday showed Newt Gingrich enjoying a substantial bounce in Florida. He climbed from 20 points
down to 9 points up in one poll in a matter of days. Now, as is the case with a bouncing ball, what goes up can also come down. Three days removed from that post, Romney
has recovered with striking speed. The latest polls from Rasmussen Reports and Insider Advantage, taken yesterday, put Romney
comfortably back in the lead in the Sunshine State.
Attacks on Newt's previous record by Romney and his super PAC are hitting their mark.
|
In addition to slamming Gingrich on Freddie Mac, Romney has sought to raise questions about Gingrich's tenure as speaker of the House. He has called on Gingrich to release "all of the
records" from the House ethics investigation of him in the 1990s.
|
Moreover, I'm sure articles like this one aren't helping Newt's cause. Elliott
Abrams, an assistant secretary of state under Ronald Reagan, claims Newt repeatedly insulted the president.
|
In the increasingly rough Republican campaign, no candidate has wrapped himself in the mantle of Ronald Reagan more often than Newt Gingrich. "I worked with President Reagan to
change things in Washington," "we helped defeat the Soviet empire," and "I helped lead the effort to defeat Communism in the Congress" are typical claims by the former speaker of the House.
The claims are misleading at best. As a new member of Congress in the Reagan years - and I was an assistant secretary of state - Mr. Gingrich voted with the president
regularly, but equally often spewed insulting rhetoric at Reagan, his top aides, and his policies to defeat Communism. Gingrich was voluble and certain in predicting that Reagan's
policies would fail, and in all of this he was dead wrong.
|
Even though I have appreciated much about Gingrich throughout this primary season, I have come to fear his nomination. Abrams' report depicts a major reason why. The
GOP will not be served well in November, top to bottom, if Gingrich is our top line choice.
