He is also somewhat "flexible" (please recall the Pelosi/couch/global warmist lecture).
That said, on balance I like Newt, but my inner voice tells me that it's not in the cards for the good Speaker who (to his indelible credit, wowed us with the Contract With America, and some history-making debates.) His Fox interview told us that he was pessimistic about his future in the primary race. (He's backtracked, but he didn't need to).
We are on the same side, my FRiend, and I understand and support your loyalty to Newt.
Bears repeating. If only it could be whittled down to a tagline!
