While true Newt is not unpopular with conservatives, he is going to need a decent amount of independents as well now, isn't he? Doesn't that cross your mind? While it is important for the GOP nominee to have conservative values they are also going to have to get a portion of independents because that alone is not going to win it and Newt is a turn off, period. He did it to himself. Keep that in mind. And while Newt is great with message, Hunter is as well. How can you forget how he went after CNN, Wolf Blitzer on the sniper video in Iraq and asked point blank "Do you want us to win?", saying "The problem is we don't have any more Ernie Pyle's and our helping our enemy". How many Republicans do that? And how many solid all-around men are there like Hunter? Newt is only in the rankings for the GOP primaries and obviously he still holds pull with conservatives but your not thinking wisely for a general election because he is damaged goods.
Correction:"don't have any more Ernie Pyle's and the media ARE helping the enemy".
