I suppose you could say he's pro-family. He's had several, himself. Not too convinced on the limited gov't one at all, though. You can't ask Newt a question without his coming up with a new government program on the fly.

And why just compare him to Romney? The choice is not between Newt and Romney; if it were, no one here would be arguing. Once people actually cast a ballot (remember that the primaries haven't even started yet), the field may even out a bit.

Now, there are worse candidates, to be sure. But it still surprises me the degree to which so many conservatives are willing to overlook Newt's entire career because of his TV debate performances.

I did limit my evaluation to the two current GOP frontrunners. You're absolutely right. Things can change on a dime and tonight's may alter the landscape of leading candidates considerably. (It was just a week ago that onetime frontrunner Herman Cain suspended his campaign).

If you're so inclined and have the time, I'd to see your evaluation of other candidates using the ten core value standards that are based upon what Jim has outlined. I really tried to be objective when I assigned the numbers but it is just one man's opinion.
