Fair enough. IMO Gingrich and Santorum are the only two candidates who would be acceptable as president. I think Newt Gingrich would be the better one by far.
I like Newt a lot. But, in talking to liberals, and even conservatives, the media has done such a hatchet job over decades that it will be a monumental effort to overcome. However, if the tea party gets truly energized again, it may be possible. But as of yet, I have not seen the energy of the tea party focused to push Newt through the primaries. If he gets through the primaries, I can see the tea party ramping up in support, but right now, it seems we are meandering through pergatory, and with the imminent crash of Santorum, we will be stuck with Obomney.
