I do not disagree with you said, but I am dealing with the probabilities of Newts chances of being elected.

Some are taking the high road and standing solidly behind their well intended beliefs, good for them. I believe doing so will get Obama a second term.

Defeatest or realist, can be a fine line.

Well said!
I believe that what the real issue we are facing is the rebellion in the ranks of the Republican Party. Those lining up on either side are not necessarily lining up behind a person but behind a set of ideals they believe are vital for conservatives.
Since last night I’m starting to believe Obama’s 2nd term chances have increased. Due to the establishments effort to control the process the rebellion is now going to be taken up a notch (or two or three). I have said before that this primary season isn’t about vetting the best candidate, it’s about who is going to ultimately have control of the party. I use to think a brokered convention would not happen...now I’m not so sure. The repub establishment is making a brokered convention more likely due to their insistance on having us accept “their” choice.
It is a “fine line” we are all walking right now...

Me, too. The 1990s weren't so long ago. People who didn't know squat and/or couldn't care less about politics knew only that they personally hated Newt, even if they didn't know why.
