Newt is certainly a blowhard and an egomaniac. However, given his present polling numbers he is certainly far from a has-been. Someone has to win the GOP nomination and unless you think there are three or more people who are far more likely to do so than Newt then he is hardly a has-been. As for who wins the general, I think Newt can beat Obama. Maybe you don't but neither of us really know.
I have no idea (who to vote for.)
Well, you'll have to choose someone. Right now I'm expecting to vote for Newt.
I will be voting against Obama, no matter who the GOP candidate is.
