You asked am I a Newt supporter?

Well, I focus on ideas and not people, and I come to these forums to discuss ideas mostly and not people per se.

However, there is an election coming up so I obviously have my pecking order like everyone else. It has changed a bit during this process too and might change again. As of today, here it is:

Newt, Cain and Perry are three that - for various reasons - I could support with some level of happiness (and some level of concern).

MB and Santorum are candidates I agree with ideologically but who I think are awful at leadership and whose behavior towards the other Republicans make me think they don’t get it — and by it — I mean they don’t understand that this is about who attacks Obama best, not about who attacks each other.

Huntsman and Paul are my two least favorites - for different reasons too. I really hope we are not left with Romney for the nomination, but I will vote for any of the 8 over Obama.

And I do that because the idea that drives me now is that another four years of Obama will end America, and a Republican congress with any of the 8 will not destroy us. As long as we have a breath, we can at some point turn it around.

Some of the 8 will merely slow down the decline, and some might actually turn it around. But either is preferable to certain death (Obama win).
