And I suppose Mittens Romney would be just peachy as a nomination...

Newts not perfect, but he’s 100 times better than Romney. My only fear about Newt is what I like to call the likability factor. Everyone who wins the Presidency has to have it. I’m not sure that Newt does. Look, I’m thinking as the “Man on the Street” thinks. To many, he’s percieved as not very likable....

My thoughts exactly... first Bachmann would be a disaster, then Perry, then Cain and now Newt. Truth is that Romney would be the biggest disaster. I could see any supporter of the mentioned vote for another name. I can't say that about Romney. If he gets the nod I believe many will not vote or go third party.

A persons “lilability” can be measured by their poll numbers and Newts have been rising quite well. His performance at the debates for the most part have been far better than the rest of the field and his popularity is reflecting that.

I'm not sure that's necessary this time around. I think people are looking for the competancy factor. Government has become so incompetant that everyone is looking for someone who sounds like they can straighten out the mess.

I agree that it shouldn’t matter but DOES. (Similar: Newt is very overweight. SHouldn’t matter, probably does.)
