I like Newt, in fact, I like him a lot.
But a lot of Christian conservatives point out that he is a serial adulterer. Alas, that is true and that is no small negative in my mind, nor in the minds of social conservatives.
Pence has none of the baggage that Newt has. He is the only legitimate conservative in the Reagan tradition (ie, no snarl). My fear is that he won't run this time.
Some day he WILL run...this is obvious just as it was obvious that starting in 1966 Reagan was going to run. What we need to do is make sure that when he runs, he has an army that is like Reagan's in 1976 ALMOST unstoppable, and then in 1980, was in fact, ACTUALLY unstoppable.
The paralells between now and the early '70's are too great to ignore. We are now the party of Gerald Ford. But that is going to change. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
Do you know any specifics about his adultery?
