I have been reading about George Washington and how he shaped the idea of the Presidency by his virtue and character. The early states delegates voted on the premise of a “President” by the persona of George Washington. I realize we have no one near him in any category, but it begins to dawn on me that we should be looking for a statesman who will help us through some very troubling waters ahead. Guess who best matches up in the areas of statesmanship, projection, proven leadership, global gravitas, yep, NEWT GINGRICH!

I agree. I hope Newt can rise to this moment in history and show himself to be the candidate who can reinvigorate the idea of American exceptionalism. It makes sense that after electing a inexperienced, disingenuous, far left narcissist that America would turn to wise, experienced statesman who understands American greatness. I could see it happening, but Newt needs to answer the bell.

Me too. A few months ago, I never thought I would be supporting Newt, but I am and I am happy about it. The guy is brilliant, perhaps a tad arrogant, but no one's perfect.

Romney wouldn't change a thing...absolutely no backbone. At least Newt's state of the union speeches will be worth listening to.

I’m with you Princess Leah. I’m leaning toward Newt more and more. Steady as He goes! Steady as He goes!

You laud virtue and character, and then support Gingrich?

Unbelievable.
