Newt, the Gotcha King got off a few tonight and everyone bows down. Not a quality on my short list of presidential requirements.

TexasFreeper is spot on. Newt has been good to spectacular in every debate. With every question, you can't wait for the answer because you KNOW he'll have one and it's usually great. He speaks with conviction, passion, and an awesome arsenal of facts. He is PRESIDENTIAL. Your pal Perry was fantastic tonight in a few spots, but he's the one you cautiously await to answer because you don't know what you'll get, and it's often quite mediocre. That won't cut it against Obama.

Right! God forbid we would elect a conservative who can intellectually handle the press! Might not be on your "short list" but it's actually the MOST IMPORTANT requirement of the next President! Our biggest problem is that we fail to teach conservatism. Newt does it with every word out of his mouth. If you want to continue to sit on the bench with Nancy Pelosi you go ahead . . . . but Newt isn't there anymore!

So? What is on your “short list?”

Us old time FRs don’t have short lists, but very long lists.

Maybe we could use your short list to reduce the size of our longs lists.

I notice you have not been around here very long and you might have some good ideas that we can smear Newt with too.
