I have no beef with Rick on the issues. He is probably the closest candidate to my own views. I just don’t think he can win. For all his faults, I think Newt is more electable.
Newt has +90% name recognition and +60% negative approvals. people know who he is and they don't like him. He has no room to grow. Rick has the highest approvals of our candidates except for Paul. He has great upside potential.
He's going to be in for a barrage of crap from the Romney campaign. It will be interesting to see how he handles it. Newt couldn't take it. I hope Santorum does better. We'll see.
Just don't write him off yet...he's just getting noticed by a lot of people.

That says it for me. Newt is the only one who has a history of being able to challenge and go around the media. This is a key ability that I just don’t see from Romney or Santorum.
Hey, didn’t we try that electable issue last time? Is it not time to try principle and see if we can actually win with that? If not, it’s just another loss but for principle this time.
Well said... also I think that Santorum with his constant deer in the headlights look, will be chewed up & spit out by 0dumb0 & the demoRAT/MSM political machine. I think they are so deathly afraid of Newt since Newt is the only one who will fire back with rhetorical guns blazing, and will shred 0dumb0 in speeches & debates. 0dumb0 & his fellow commie pigs realize this and that is why they want either Romney or Santorum to run against the RAT bastard 0dumb0!
We need a pitbull, not a pomeranian.
