Newt is better than Mittens. If these guys are all so imperfect, then maybe someone really disgruntled here should run himself. I wanted Michelle Bachmann to be the frontrunner, but that is not happening at all. At least Newt is very intelligent. Perhaps more intelligent than almost everyone here.
If Perry had Newt's brain power, he would have won this in a landslide. Newt has one gold-plated presidential qualification: Irish ancestry. It's remarkable the number of US Presidents that do, Barky, Clinton, Reagan, Kennedy, Woodrow Wilson, McKinley. God had to invent alcohol to keep the Irish from taking over the world.
