So? Gingrich and Romney are barely “conservative” themselves and both have huge problems.

I prefer Newt over romney of course, but RP is a lot closer to me on money and economics than the others.

Remember when Newt killed Ryan’s medicare plan, endorsed scozzafa, not so long ago?

And Romney? Geeeze, what a disaster.

I guess you miss the irony. Remember when Paul voted against Ryan's medicare plan and endorsed Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader not long ago?

With Romney you get socialism with an R after the name, with Newt you get old school politics, with Paul you get a prez with a single issue right with chaos on other issues and surrender politics on world affairs.

I think that Newt sees the bigger picture. Newt being a historian, sees a chance to man up to the position and become one of the all time great presidents. He knows that like Reagan, he would be remembered for his accomplishments rather than his checkered past, which, I think, is what appeals to him about the presisdency. His own place in history.
