We hope.
I agree Newt's baggage is kind of old news now and he has admitted to his infidelities/mistakes, asked for forgiveness and moved on. Let us just hope he really came clean about everything. Cain is not going to be the nominee, so Newt is probably the only thing that stands between Romney and the nomination. I am hoping and praying Gingrich really puts it all together and runs a great campaign from here on out. He is a brilliant man, if he can stay focused and no more skeletons flop out of his closet, he could be a great general election candidate.
Yes Newt is a brilliant adulterer in TWO marriages.
Personally, I like Huntsman the best out of all of them. His econ plan is the best, he actually has a “free market” plan to end TBTF, and plans on winding down Fannie & Freddie....plus, I think Huntsman is the only one of the bunch that could win decisively and give a strong mandate to conservatives to govern. A big win would also take the US Senate by a large margin.
Problem is, Huntsman primary strategy has been odd - to say the least. He apparently thought (with the “help” of John Weaver) that attacking other conservatives using moderate/liberal rhetoric was the way to go. That has not served him well. It’s not likely, but possible that he could pull off an upset in New Hampshire, and with the divided field, could get some momentum from there.....we’ll see.
Second choice is Newt.
