“With Gingrich it will be spewed with venom daily with all the talk and comedy shows playing it up.”
No matter who the GOP candidate is, they are going to do this. They will slaughter Romney as well.
Newt is the only one that can go head to head with Obama on any topic in a debate and clean his clock without working up a sweat. Romney is a statue, not a debater.
Newt is the best (or least bad if you prefer) choice and the most balanced of the candidates. I’m not happy saying this, but it is glaringly obvious to me...and I’m a social/morale conservative.
Do you recall how the media treated Gingrich in the 1990s? It was brutal and it worked. He was one of the most disliked politicians of that time. As I said earlier I’d rather focus on his policy positions and that’s where I disagree with him but the media will be attacking him relentlessly and it will be done in a personal way, count on it.
I can relate to what you said in your post...especially since I hadn't even considered Newt before the debates much at all. I thought he was finished early on. But I wasn't happy with the slate we had much to speak of and as they spoke I grew less enthused save for Newt. He made sense...and even stepped up to lead the climate of the debates.
Bottom line I think 'God is calibrating our decision' as we look to him and view each candidate... though we might not want to go that direction initially He has a way of assuring us it's the right way to go.
