If Newt were to beat Obama next November, he would be taking office from a 1 term President driven out of office.

That should give Newt good reason to keep his promises & not flip to liberalism.

Also, if Newt wins, that will likely mean the Pubs have made gains in both houses of Congress. That would help Newt stay with a conservative program.

I know this is not guaranteed, but it is likely.

Not really. It is NOT hard to govern to the right of Obama. That hardly capitalizes on the golden opportunity conservatism has to advance.

After 4 years of Newt -- then what? Next election......we have little change -- more government (Newt loves big government solutions and U.N. involvement) and little distinction between him and a Democrat challenger.

The country is TOO closely divided to allow this slide to proceed. The country doesn't have time for Newt to tinker around with his "ideas." We need someone who SEES the problems, has fought federal regulations and won, has energized an economy during the Obama recession by removing obstacles, and who will shake things up in D.C. and give power back to the states. That's Gov. Rick Perry.
