Still cannot figure what Newt plans to run on since he’s already surrendered each and every issue that would draw stark contrasts between himself and Obamba.

If what you are looking for is nothing more than a BIG TENT (moderate)republican, Newt’s your guy. McLame’s 2008 defeat proved that it’s not a winning position.

Newt’s flat tax proposal is revolutionary. It would dramatically simplify the federal tax code for a lot of people. Santorum’s proposal pales in comparison.

Newt has a proven RECORD. Don't know about you, but I consider the Contract With America and pushing job creation, a balance budget and welfare reform as quite a stark contrast with Obama. I like Newt's flat tax plan, would prefer a fair tax, but gotta start somewhere. I love the way he would stand up to the extremist activist judiciary and push Congress to oppeal Obamacare, and he would! The thing is I have no doubt Newt can get it done. Santorum, not so much. The E would accept Santorum because he's "safe," he can be controlled and not rock the boat too much. Newt has proven accomplishments and has proven that he can get real things done, even with Bill Clinton who has an ego about the size of or bigger than Obama. What proven accomplishments does Santorum have? Seriously, you're not comparing Santorum's accomplishments with Newt's? LOL.
