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......

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.

lets take it this way -- do you, Cin's wife, realistically think that if Perry was our candidate he could convince the non-GOP, non-Dim folks to vote for him?

He is having problems communicating with GOPers, even with folks who were his supporters.

he may have a good/bad record, but if he cannot communicate that, most will not even look at him, leave alone consider him

The problem is not that Perry is not TOO opinionated -- that's Paul. Perry just cannot communicate his points and his gaffes are too numerous and he would keep making it

This means that though he may be a very nice person, a good or great governor, he still will not have a chance as a candidate for Presidency -- unless Obamba's teleprompter breaks...
