Why is Newt unelectable? Agree with the rest of your post.
I have nothing personal against Newt. I believe he was the smartest guy in the room last night, and could probably mop the floor with Obama in a debate between the two. But he has a whole list of issues with many conservatives. And being link to the Bush era doesn't sit well with swing voters. And as of today does not poll well. If he does poll Sunday in the top 5 then I will change my mind on his electability.
