Newt would be even worse than Romney. We better hope and pray the 'Santorum surge' continues to take votes from Newt, because nominating Newt would be a death wish for the GOP.
Why didn't other conservatives throw their hats into the ring: Demint? Jindal? Others?
I don’t get this anti Newt behavior on FR. While Romney was against the Reagan platform, Newt was a leader to implement those ideas. Newt politically has delivered more conservative legislation for the conservative movement than any other figure in our lifetimes other than reagan.
He led the sea change bringing us to majority status after our party was relegated to second class minority status in DC for nearly a half century. He produced a balanced budget, and beat Clinton to deliver welfare reform. Yes, newt has flaws, but so does every one, especially in politics. I am not strongly for Gingrich at this stage in the race, but he is among my top contenders. He has made some stances over the past few years I do to like, but he generally is very effective at articulating what I believe and shows ability to implement it.
