Newt ....but at this point I don’t see much alternative.

Newt is on the wrong team. He is the smartest in the race, but his actions (supporting AGW etc) have indicated he has sold out to the Globalist elitists. He cannot be trusted with power.

Remember, these types of elections have on occasions been decided in the Convention. None of the announced. It has happened.

Yes, I have that concern with Newt. Everything from his support for "combating AGW" with Pelosi and that ridiculous couch ad, to his recent mindboggling stupid attack on the Paul Ryan budget (which virtually every House Republican had just courageously voted for) that he called "right wing social engineering". Newt is very smart, but seems incapable of staying focused.

Problem is, I can not generate even the slightest bit of excitement for anyone else in the race. Mitt can't be trusted on anything, Perry has so far been unable to communicate coherently, I don't think Cain is anywhere near ready to run a serious presidential campaign, Bachmann just doesn't come off well, Santorum lost his home state by 18 points in his last election, Ron Paul is a kook, Huntsman should be running in the Democratic primary, etc. I almost feel like Newt, even with all his flaws, is the only real option at the moment.

Remember, these types of elections have on occasions been decided in the Convention. None of the announced. It has happened.

Yeah, I don't buy it. One of these candidates currently in the race will emerge and win. If you are thinking Palin or someone is going to ride in and win a brokered convention, well, I think your dreaming. Like it or not, these are our candidates.
