Newt Gingrich demonstrated last night, exactly how a master Statesman conducts himself, as well as conveys his wisdom to the audience. Newt had them riveted to his every word and his unmitigated wisdom was unequaled.
Bingo, Rick is an undisiplined politician. It is going to get us killed in the general if he is the nominee. I do not expect him to quit talking about his values, but geez he needs to learn “how” to express himself better. Flame on dedicated and devoted Rick lovers. I am not a hater, I just want to win. If Rick is the nominee I will vote for him, but he scares me to death.

The key word is “last night”. I’m afraid it’s too late for him though...
Newt usually suffers from foot-in-mouth disease as well ( perhaps even more than Santorum ).
LOL
“One thing about Santorum is absolute. He does not know how to keep his mouth shut, and he does not closely monitor what comes out of it.

I am a Newt supporter and agree with you. I will, however, give Santorum a bit of credit. He is ahead in the polls and Newt is behind even Ron Paul in most polls (how embarrassing is that?). Santorum’s campaign thus far has been brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
He had no money so he lived in Iowa visiting every county (most multiple times) for a year to either be a viable candidate after the caucus or not. It worked.
He stayed completely out of the fray in a crowded field and watched as the herd thinned itself (Pawlenty, Cain, Bachmann, Huntsman and Perry — gone). That, too, worked.
He sat back and let Romney carpet bomb Gingrich in Florida. That tactic weakened another in the herd (Gingrich).
He campaigned hard in Missouri (in a contest with no delegates!) as well as Minnesota and, to a lesser extent, in Colorado as Newt ignored all three and Romney wasn’t even aware of Santorum’s existence. A stroke of genius.
He has since ridden a tidal wave of a surge as the alternate to Romney — all with the smallest warchest of any of the candidates.
Now that the light has been cast on Santorum in the public’s eye, it is up to his message and delivery. Now, the flaws of the candidate have more to do with the nomination than the strategy of becoming a viable candidate.
Newt’s biggest problem is that he didn’t hire Santorum as his campaign manager!
