Just go back and find a thread from when Gingrich announced for president and see how many posters trashed him then for the things they defend him for now.

Exactly....I really think we have a case of collective amnesia around here.

I never trashed Newt, but thought he was a no go because of his flirting with Pelosi about global warming, and his strange support for Dede Scuzzfuzzy (amongst other problems in his past). I feel the same way about Santorum, he has a lot of shortcomings as well.

I could support either one, think both are decent conservatives, but I favor Newt a bit because of his ability to articulate the vision of conservatism and his better track record in winning against liberals.

It's likely I (we) am going to vote for Santorum in the primary, because he has the best chance to beat Romney in our state.

Romney would make it hard to swallow (or vote) again.........
