How long till Newt plays the "Morman card?" How long till Romney's father (born in Mexico, dont'cha know!) becomes an issue?
I think it won't be long now. Every nasty, inappropriate, out-of-bounds thing Obama would never (and should never) say, will now be said by Newt. And Romney won't know how to react -- except with more of the same kind of thing.

Newt is completely bonkers. Mitt should tread carefully.

(22,308 posts)I don't think he can pull the Mexican Father thing until that is over.
I'm also not sure if it is a good idea to pull out the Mormon card so close to Utah. You might see a backlash with even more money going into Mitt's SuperPACs. If he does go there he is going to need someone else to do it that he can't be tied to directly.
I'm hoping he comes up with a new line of attack. I don't know what it might be but I have faith in Newt's ability to dig up dirt on pretty much anyone.

I think he stays in till at least the end of March. If he does well in the March contests, Newt will go for a brokered convention.
