In its continuing series of recent negative advertisements the Romney campaign complains that Gingrich has gone negative out of desperation.  It would be useful to review the situation. Shortly before the Iowa caucuses both Romney and Paul began running negative advertisements against Newt. It is notable that Newt's numbers in Iowa at the time were over 40% of the potential vote. The conclusion as to why they proceeded along that line is Newt's numbers were high because of his ideas, knowledge, ability to deliver, to debate and because he is far and away the most intelligent and experienced. As a result of the ads Santorum jumped to the top as a part of the media scenario that 75% of Republican voters want an alternative to Romney; and, it is true.

In the interim a PAC has come forward to attack Romney and support Newt.  Some of the information that was put out was erroneous and has been repudiated by Newt. On the other hand when Romney's supporting PAC put out erroneous or false information, Romney's response was that Newt needed to develop broad shoulders. Again, in South Carolina the only way that Romney is able to compete is because of his negative ads against Newt, one of which comically turns reality on its head by heralding that Newt's negative ads as desperate, when the truth is Romney's ads are precisely those of desperation, he recognizes that far and away a majority would prefer an alternative.

What is abundantly evident is that Paul and Santorum have faded and Perry has no traction as predicted. Newt has reemerged as the leader of the conservative alternatives. If conservatives are to have a hope of a true conservative winning, they must rally around one of the conservative alternatives. I urge the strongest alternative and that would be Newt Gingrich.
