Newt epitomizes “Right Wing Extremist” according to the media. He will never be elected president.

We can't base our choice of a nominee on who the media likes. I also saw a comment here the other day stating that we shouldn't nominate Newt because it would energize turnout by the left. As long as we allow outside forces to dictate our choices we will continue to lose. Unfortunately, with the idiotic "open primaries" in many states, we will be allowing outside forces to help choose our nominee.
