I’m with you. I am not backing anyone at this time, but against almost everyone on this forum, I am leaning Newt... and by that I mean, I sure want his poll numbers to remain high enough to keep him in the race!
I’m leaning Newt, also...
Back in 94 and 95 Newt WAS my Sarah Palin. But he was villified and did not handle it well. I don’t have a problem with his personal life. I just was upset that he tried to get along with the oposition way too much. But I just don’t know. I don’t FEEL anyone.
i also am leaning Newt, not that I alone make a difference.
As for his personal baggage, even though it is not good, my plan to deal with it would be STay on message, economy, drilling, security, make a comparison about Democrat morals. He really is the smartest guy up there, but his leadership skill and spine of course are what we wonder about. We can only hope he will grow one, if he maybe he senses our support and then worries if he loses it.
Disappointed about Sarah not running, though i expected her to, i understand why she isnt. I guess what fooled me was she waited so long to say no—what really changed from mid-summer?. Well she was the best potential candidate but she was not perfect either. Newt is probably a better debater but she had integrity all over him
