I don’t think we do have a better choice right now, although I don’t see any reason to go whole hog for Gingrich in the primaries.

Voting for him if he’s the nominee will be soon enough for me.

I’ve held me nose plenty of times in the primaries and the general, and this time around I just might vote for Santorum in the primaries. And, to be honest, this is such a wild year, I half expect that ANYTHING could happen between now and when the nomination is decided.

In the meantime, I see no reason to build Gingrich up as the next Ronald Reagan. In fact, that’s not only inaccurate, in my view, I think it’s dangerous. The greater the build-up, the greater the alienation if (when) Bad Newt shows up in the White House. If conservatives then abandon him, and they certainly might, we got nothing.

So I’m advocating, if we have to do this, let’s minimize the shock by being realistic about Gingrich now. Just my approach.

While some Newt supporters accuse me of being “scared” by Newt (don’t ask me to explain that psychobabble crappola that gets thrown around when people, apparently, don’t know what else to say to you), I think it takes more intellectual courage to take it to the candidate you seemingly have to support, rather than try to wish away his many and deep flaws.

And, again, who knows what the next weeks and months will bring?

Although it’s getting harder and harder for Newt to step in it: many have signed up for the “I don’t give a damn what he does or says, nothing could make me not vote for him” club.

That, my FRiend, is called a complete pass, and I don’t think it’s a good thing with a guy like Newt.

Actually, those words were your words, you stated Gingrich was “unstable”, etc etc...and that “...believe me, people are going to be taking a second look at Romney...”

LOL... your words.
