All the more reason to support Newt. He may never overcome the "unlikeability" factor, but he clearly would make the best President at this point in time.

I agree! But since life is like high school and the vast hordes in the middle of the intelligence curve determine the outcomes, don't get your hopes up.

Would like to hear Ann's defense of Romney's description of the President as just a "nice guy" who "doesn't understand." Romney is either uninformed or deliberately misrepresenting the opponent he would face in November, as was cited in the following FR post on 1/15/12:

"Who in his/her right mind doubts the President's commitment to accelerate the agenda to which he has devoted the past several years of his life?

"Does anyone believe that he came to such a commitment just before, or during, the 2008 campaign?

"The American people need to hear from an informed Republican candidate about the real nature of the battle of ideas in which citizens must be engaged, and the design and serious intent of the November 2012 opponents.

"Long ago, a Freeper posted the Agenda of a 2002 meeting of so-called "intellectuals" in Chicago.

"Note the participants in that conference are the major "players" in the headlines emanating from White House policy makers in 2012, including the now-President.

"Romney's cavalier description of the President as "a nice guy" who "just doesn't understand" how the "private sector works" is either shallow and uninformed, misleading, or something else. The "battle of ideas" for the future direction of the Republic is too important to be engaged in on such a level.

"American voters, like the citizens of 1776 and 1787 can understand and connect dots--if they are adequately articulated to them now, allowing them time to think about it.

"Picture this: a group of people who describe themselves as being "intellectuals," declaring of the conference: "It will be both a celebration of ideas and a rigorous examination of the roles and responsibilities that intellectuals play in society."

"Nothing is so pitiful and shameful that, in a country whose document of liberty was authored by a true intellectual, and was said by him to be a mere representation of "the American mind" of 1776--in such a country, in 2002, after over 200 years of basking in the "light of liberty" first shed by that document--we now have a group of people sitting around in Chicago and plotting how their so-called "intellectual" efforts will play a role "in society." Consequences of their "role" are being played out now in the "society."

"As Weaver said, "Ideas have consequences."

"The ideas of 1776 resulted in more liberty and prosperity for more people over a longer period of time than ever had been experienced in the history of civilization!

"So-called "intellectuals" who occupy positions of excessive coercive power in Washington today may, if unstopped, precipitate another age of darkness in the world, where the ideas of liberty have been censored, and "other ideas" from other sources have been exalted.

"Dr. Russell Kirk years ago warned of what T. S. Eliot had labeled a "new provincialism--the provinciality of time, imprisoning people in their own little present moments." Picture the participants of that Chicago conference, and we have a visual of Kirk's words.

"The enduring and essential ideas of Creator-endowed individual liberty must be defended against the "redistributionist" ideas which have led to tyranny in every society where they have been implemented.

Where is the Jeffersonian intellect of 2012 who is up to the task? Whose study of the founding ideas can equip him to help American youth and other voters discover and preserve the ideas of liberty for their posterity?"

It’s strange that Santorum doesn’t seem to understand the crucial state-federal divide bequeathed to us by the framers of our Constitution

It's strange that Coulter has endorsed the architect of communist health care, with its unconstitutional mandate that forces American citizens to overpay for their insurance policies so society's bums, deadbeats, and parasites can have their health care for "free'.

Who in their right mind listens to this woman anymore? She’s proven himself to be a card carrying member of the communist party, with all the crap she’s been saying lately.

Santo is running and Willard too to KEEP Newt out of the Presidency..

It pure and quite simple.. Willard and Santo have no plans to eviscerate the federal givernment.. Newt does.. Willard and Santo are Union stooges.. ringers.. you know fakes.. phonies.. shills..

You too Ann are a useful tool.. being played like a rented donkey..
Maybe even a Rhino in an Elephant costume.. but then the bright side is you can no longer “play me”..

You are not dumb so what your doing must be ON PURPOSE..
That of course, makes you, a malefactor.. I’ve got my EYE on you..

We have a big government social conservative, a big government economic conservative, a big government liberal — and one remaining candidate who...is unwilling to lift a finger to prevent Iran from getting/using nuclear weapons.

I think that's the way it was planned:
The big government pol with the most money wins by default.

And, it doesn't hurt that he has been "next in line" for four years.

The slang term “baggage” has virtually always been used to refer to negative (or negatively perceived) past behaviors or issues, NOT to weight.

You hit the nail right on the head. Our only hope is Newt! Neither Romney or Santorum could raise a slight sweat on King Obama’s head in a debate. King Obama would look like a whipped puppy and would craw in a hole after Newt handled him his head.

There is no doubt that Washington DC is a collosus of bureaucrats and government. It is like putting someone in charge of a jumbo jet. You wouldn’t want someone piloting a jumbo jet when all they know how to fly is a Cessna. Newt has his jumbo jet pilot’s license.

Go Newt!

When used in the sense of hindrance, baggage can be seen as drag weight or overload. The use of the word “baggage” has that subliminal message.

For a 65-year-old guy, that's an awfully good jawline -- better than his wife's. Wonder who does his "work"? Can I get a Medicare jowl tuck under Romalangobamacare?

You are right — I should have phrased it as “dangerously naiive foreign policy”
