Whatever Newt’s faults and baggage, noone can match him in debating, intelligence and experience.

Thats nice but Romney is kicking his ass?
And accomplishments, though I guess that's part of the experience equation. All of which is why I came to support him. His baggage is mostly non government stuff. His tenure as Leader and then Speaker includes an amazing string of political and legislative grand slams. No one else is close. By contrast, Santorum was simply one of Newt's foot soldiers in those efforts. He's a good guy, but he is nowhere close to Newt on accomplishment and Obama does not fear debating Santorum. Plus, while Newt's voting record is almost identical to Santorums on social issues, Santorum can more easily be painted as extreme on those issues, so you get more problems with no more benefit.
