Hiya Ron! & SoConPubbie!
I see that Jim has already answered you much, much better than I could, but I will tell you that I’m the one who used to call him Newt Samsonite Gingrich.
None of that matters to me anymore. We’re in the fight for our Republic against the evil Marxist and his corrupt administration, all of whom have to be thrown out out office and swept from the Department’s of Justice, State and Defense for starter’s!
I think Newt Gingrich is the best equipped to first stop Romney and then to defeat obama with no holds barred, plus he gets what this election is all about: a referendum on the Marxist and his failed policies.
If one of Gingrich’s rivals manages to win the nomination, other than Romney or Ron Paul, I will of course support that nominee, but I will be hoping and mightily praying that our nominee will have half the guts, half the knowledge and half the determination of Gingrich to take on the Marxist like he has to be taken on.
Gingrich is pro-life, and I trust him to nominate strict Constitutionalists to SCOTUS and to defend our nation against the Moselms that threaten us with nukes and our ally Israel.
ONWARD TO THE PRIMARIES WITH PRAYERS FOR ALL OF OUR *WORTHY* CANDIDATES!

As always, you have precisely defined the battle ahead and also crystallized the essence of Conservatism. Liberals are governed almost solely by raw emotions and get wedded to a single idea much like children. For example, they continue to embrace the myth of AGW in spite of the science not being settled, in fact, evidence accumulates daily that global warming is a phantom.
Conservatives are made of better stuff. We are analytical types and use our God-given power of reason to evaluate circumstances. Consequently, the Conservative mind is nimble and with that mental acuity (which liberals lack) comes the ability to be agile. Thoughtfulness is trait of true Conservatives. Therefore, given the present situation, Newt Gingrich presents the best opportunity to depose the communist from his position of power.
I think also that we Conservatives don't look to our politicians as leaders any more than we idolize them (as the leftists do with Zero). Instead, we rightfully see politicians as servants of WE THE PEOPLE. In essence, President Newt Gingrich will be our employee and we'll be his boss...and we'll let him know that!
