Santorum has far less exploitable baggage than Gingrich, and wouldn’t have to play defense throughout the general election. With Gingrich as his GOP opponent, Obama and his media allies would keep a constant focus on Newt’s flaws — and therefore keep Obama’s own miserable record in the background. If Perry is out, Santorum is looking to me like the best alternative to a Romney debacle.

Yes indeed. Newt should plow the road for Santorum by destroying the liberal democrat rino Romney.

Trust.

Gingrich blinked when Clinton called his bluff on shutting down the government. No guts, no glory.

Global Warming enthusiast with Pelosi. Lack of common sense on this issue.

Newt is smart and I like to hear him tear down the liberal media, but I just don't have a feeling of trust when I consider him. Of course, I trust him 1000% more than Romney.

Pickings are getting slim.

PLUS GINGRICH BALANCED THE FEDERAL BUDGET!!!!!!!!!!

I am NOT anti-Santorum. I am totally anti-Romney

But Ginrich will kill again in the coming debates, and the other candidates should take notice. He does NOT pull punches with Obama OR the media, and that alone is what propelled him to the top.
