We have a lot of people on FR who seem to think that they can only support their "hero" or someone they really, unconditionally, love. (Palin, Cain).
Newt is not my hero. I don't go to sleep with his picture under my pillow.
If DeMint, Daniels, Barbour, Ryan, or Jindal were in the race, Newt would not be my first choice.
But they aren't and he is.
I agree with your post #37.
