But are we voting for a saint or are we voting for someone who has the experience and RECORD to get us out of our present funk?

I'm voting for someone with no beltway coattails. As to "RECORD to get us out of our present funk", Newt's is checkered. Yes, he's the most astute and politically knowledgeable among the candidates, but he's shown tendency too often in the past to ignore his conservative base. Somewhere in a conservative administration? Yes. As president? No.

I’m not voting for someone virtually guaranteed to screw me at the first opportunity.

I'm voting for someone with no beltway coattails.
