Newt is a practical and articulate visionary who has thought about America's future, as his well-reasoned book "Winning The Future" demonstrates. For instance, he points out that 10% of those admitted to hospitals contract another ailment and recommends how to fix the problem. The fact that Hillary agreed with him on his medical technology proposals should not be held against him.
As Newt has said: First, you must win the argument. The votes will follow. He's got the leadership experience and knows his way around Washington. Let's see how the debates turn out before we write-off any of our candidates.
