I like Newt. He was a powerhouse in the 90’s. He's great on big ideas, but In my opinion he can't win. His negatives are too high and once a large % of people form a firm negative opinion, it's really hard to convince them otherwise.

Newt has stepped off the reservation several times on big issues as has Rick. Rick has been better on TARP, global warming and healthcare than Newt. I just believe Rick is the better of the two to take on Obama. Time will tell if he can sustain the momentum. If Rick does well in the south on super Tuesday, it's time for Newt to get out. At that point Rick can take it all. If not, what's left? Either is better than Mitt or Ron.

Rick was “good” on TARP because he wasn’t in elected office at the time.

It probably would have been a different story if he did hold office back in 2008.
