He's come up from 4th or 5th on my list to probably #1 at the moment. Obviously I can't stand Romney. I wasn't for Cain even before the scandals because I simply do not think the 999 Plan is a good idea. I'd rather not give the government yet another form of taxation to impose on us. I'd much prefer a flat-tax, which Newt is a proponent of. Perry is obviously scum. Palin is out, which sucks. Paul, some days I love him, some days I think he's really crazy.
Bottom line is this, Newt has great ideas on taxes and a pro-growth agenda. He is the best debater in the field. And it turns out his baggage ain't so bad compared to what's being said about Cain. Not saying the Cain stuff is true, but it doesn't look good.
Anyways, if I had to vote tomorrow I'd probably vote for Newt. Anyone else?
I’m not saying Newt is perfect, but looking at the slate of candidates he far and away the best option at the moment. Sarah pretty much guaranteed that by sitting it out. I could give two you know whats who Sarah endorses or what she says on Fox News. I don’t see how she is “affecting change” without having a job title, for me at least. I also am having a hard time forgiving her as she was by far the best choice.
I also was thinking that it seems that maybe his wife has made a real difference in the man.
Very funny that you ask that. My husband and I have come full circle on him, as has my dad and several friends. ALL in the Gingrich camp.
I like him more because he’s a REFORMER and we desperately need reform. His measures seem/are bold. And I like bold. That’s why I liked Palin.
I like Newt. His two problems IMO is his personal life which he can’t really fix. And his position on global warming. Please tell me it has “evolved” in light of scientist coming out and saying they don’t think there is man made global warming? Please don’t tell me he still thinks there is man made global warming???
That precisely matches the British public's opinion of Winston Churchill, circa 1940.
