STEYN: Now you were part of the 1994 Gingrich revolution generation. A lot of the people who were with you in the House back then don't feel that way about the speaker and have come out on TV. There has been this general line out of Washington that those who know the speaker the best are the ones who are most vehemently opposed to his resurgence. You are not part of that crowd. Why do you think you feel differently from so many of your former colleagues?

WATTS: Well, Mark, you know, we live in a country that we can throw our support to whomever we want to throw our support to. I would caution all of us or I would remind all of us that any candidate that we support, they are going to be flawed.

I think when you look at Romney, I mean, I could show you deep flaws there. When you look at Perry, I can show you deep flaws. When you look at the gentleman Congressman Paul, I could show you deep flaws.

But when you talk about the track record, been there, done that, when you talk about balanced budgets, tax relief, paying down our national debt, Newt has done those things.

You know, Mark, when you are speaker of the House, you do make enemies. When you are in politics, you make enemies. I would much rather tick off, you know, Washington politicians than to disappoint the American people.

When you look at the results that Newt Gingrich got when he was speaker, he got results for the American people.

Good endorsement.

After listening to JC Watts apologize for obama and jeremiah wright on Hannity’s show, ad nauseum, in 2008 his endorsement isn’t worth the toilet paper it should be written on.

Thanks, Jim. This is good news.

I listened to JC Watts filling in for Hannity yesterday afternoon and endorsing and interviewing Newt. Watts is an amateur as a radio host and Newt seemed uninspired by JC’s weak endorsement and his embarrassing questions about Newt's cuddling up to Nancy Pelosi, the climate control freaks, and Fannie and Freddie.

Art Laffer was just on Cavuto and said he is sure Newt’s economic plan will be able to get America back on track and he likes what he sees. Will be endorsing him on Thursday.

Now this is great news. I agree with JC’s evaluation. And I really want to see Newt debate the usurper.

If Newt just does what he did as speaker he will have saved most of America. If you check his web site, if he can accomplish even half of what he suggests there will be no doubt that he will go down as one of the greatest Presidents America has ever had. Give up on the baggage, that's part of growing up. Everyone makes mistakes but I would value a person that has made mistakes , realize he made them, and changes than a Lillie white jackass that never learned anything.
