LOL, how soon people forget. Newt was left for dead a few months ago after he threw virtually every House Republican under the bus by calling Ryan's Budget right wing social engineering.
Goes to show, today's hero is tomorrow's goat. If your willing to stay in the game you can reverse almost any blunder and be loved again by the public. In that sense, Clinton had it right.

You have to learn from your mistakes and move on. If you keep making the same mistakes again and again, you won’t get anywhere.
Look at it from a conservative/tea-partier perspective:
Romney is flawed. RomneyCare and dull in a debate.
Perry is flawed. Immigration and Gardasil stances, and has done lousy in debates.
Christy is flawed. Soft on immigration, believer in global warming, and has drug himself into a sharia law controversy. Who knows how he’ll do in a debate.
If you’re going to support a flawed candidate, why not support someone that (1) has been the most impressive in the debates, and (2) at least in the past has been willing to go the distance pushing conservative issues. That would be Newt.
In the nobody’s perfect/everyone’s flawed race of these 4, Newt kind of stands out as the best choice.
The electorate is dumb as a box of rocks. You have to be very lucky to get a good decision out of it and timely. A month sooner or later produces a totally different result.
This desperate move to Cain is not encouraging if you want Urkel out. And Newt? Give me a fricking break. This guy makes a loose cannon look predictable.
