>> DC is dangerous and one big crony game on both sides of the aisle.(Look at the phoney bill they tried to pass to cease insider trading within DC) Newt is an insider I have decided.I don’t know if any political candidate can stop this train wreck but I see Bachmann and Perry as a slightly better chance.Possibly even Santorum. >>
You make some valid points, and all I can do is share with you why I would support Newt over the others now: It’s his ability plus his experience in the 90s plus his plans for the nation should he win.
I simply don’t see much big time ability in Bachmann or Santorum. I see them as passionate and committed, but not very effective at communicating what they are passionate about. I remember Bachmann being made fun of by Chris Matthews, and while Bachmann was right and Matthews was wrong, she did not - and could not - take command of the situation and she did come off as dense even though I know she is not.
Newt can just do that much better than anyone else on our team.
Perry’s been a big time player because Texas Guv is a big time post, but I just don’t see the nation electing another nice guy from Texas who can’t really explain to you why we are right and the other side is wrong. But I do like Perry and he’s my second pick right now.
If we could morph Perry and Newt, we’d have a monster! But alas, we are left with reality.
Reality is I just saw the most updated polls and Gingrich does well in the primary but Obama beats him nationally hands down. Aren’t you concerned about this?With Cain it would have been different maybe. I think he could have beat Obama. With Gingrich the MSM will spin it left vs. right.
