Agreed. I liked Santorum before the Arlen Specter incident but can’t get past it, unless he is the nominee and I am forced to, which I will.

Newt made mistakes, including the Nancy-on-the couch incident, but it was less egregious than the Specter endorsement over Toomey, IMO, as a pro lifer.

Newt goofed, but he will never vote for Cap and Trade. That the is the most important consideration as far as that particular fail goes, whereas Specter did a lot of damage.

Newt Gingrich IS our best candidate to defeat Obama.

Newt has the mental/intellectual chops to take the debate to any progressive, and drive it home. Took this short quiz, and Newt was #1 on my list. It only takes a few minutes and includes Pres. Obama on the list with the Republican candidates. http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/candidate-match-game
It is fun; share it with your progressive friends - it'll make 'em crazy!

I agree. I was never a Newt fan and have written negatively about him on FR. But this election is tantamount to a ground war and we need the Newt tank.

Newt is the Best Candidate of this bunch, PERIOD, no one else is even in the same ballpark. He’s the only one who can actually articulate the conservative philosophy, and not be intimidated by those who are going to attack him over it.

He can and will make the general election an ideological debate, he won’t allow Teleprompter and his minions paint him with petty attacks and gotcha crap, he’ll keep it focused on the fundamental difference between this failed administration, its flawed world view and the American Ideal.

The only risk Newt has had was keeping his temper and hyperbole in check, something he was not able to do well back in the 90s, but 20 years certainly appear to have tempered him greatly, I think that risk is very very low at this point.

I pray you are correct but, tonight, the Ex blasting and ABC’s going full bore to smash Newt is on schedule. If Newt could overcome this one, he will be strong till the Convention. Most Pubs quit as Cain did. People forgave Clinton, Jesse Jackson, the Kennedys, LBJ, MLK but never never a Pub. What hypocrisy!@ I am an Evang. and I forgive Newt since he says, he has repented and found God. OK, then it is up to voters and to God not the MSM.
