Intelligence and fortitude do not win elections. Look at the current occupant of the WH.
As for this Santorum can’t beat Obama crap, back it up with numbers instead of emotion. Where is Santorum not going to be able to win that Newt can? That place doesn’t exist on the US Map or in any of the 57 states and you know it. Of the Battlegrounds (NH, PA, MI, WI, IA, CO, NM, NV) who has had the better showing in those primaries and caucuses?
The voting demographics favor Santorum, which is why in a one on one with Obama, he would have the best chance of getting to 270, because he performs well in the states that will be considered battlegrounds.
It is the only thing that can keep a conservative candidate alive.
Comparing how to get a conservative through the media gauntlet to how the media helps simple minded liberals glide into the White House on a sled, shows an ignorance of American politics.

Romney did’nt carpet bomb Santorum, he went after Newt and so did the media. It’s got nothing to do with emotions, thems the facts!!
Newt most certainly has an opportunity to rise and I hope he kicks little ricky’s ass!
He understands the new political equation: It's all about the cultural meme.
Only nuclear weapons (intellectual acuity and insight) can compete.
Newt can win the argument both with those who think, and those who will just vote for those who they think won the argument by their observation of body language and verbal rhythm.
I know, it's silly.
Performs well? You think losing the Senate by 18 points to the voters who know you best is "performing well?" That's some fuzzy math you're using there. If you haven't noticed, Santorum spent a lot of time at the bottom of the polls in this primary and is on his way back. The February fluke is over and Newt has learned all the valuable lessons about how to deal with negative attacks and will not misstep again.
He might be but he has one severe Problem and a lot of Freepers are starting to see it.
The MSM have set trap after trap for Santorum and he still falls into it. In fact in the Last Debate Newt tried to Rescue him before he walked into the Abortion trap. Guess what two minutes later Santorum has both feet firmily in the trap and can't get out.
Some of us thought the Double digit lead in MI was a Trap. Even though you can argue he managed a tie where it counts that double digit lead evaporated overnight. I think in the long run he lost more than he gained.
I think his double digit lead in OH now is a trap as well.
I personally think OH is gonna be real close but only time will tell.
