As a Catholic, I can say Newt’s conversion, while I’m glad for it, doesn’t hold much sway in my interest in him. I think he’s drawing Cain supporters because they see in him the same attributes they saw in Cain: he’s an inspiring speaker, intelligent and would whoop Obama’s ass in any debate! However, I’m reluctant to jump on the Newt bandwagon because I’m not sure if “Debate Newt” would be the same as “President Newt.”

Despite our religious differences, I think we are pretty much in agreement in our analysis of Newt. I didn't like the “weaselly” explanation of his proposed “immigration reform” as it would require a huge bureaucracy to administer and would likely fail any court challenge that would inevitably come to pass.

I also have to question both the wisdom and morality of creating a permanent low wage underclass of non-citizen “guest workers” who, by design, have no hope or desire to become citizens. Isn't that exactly what the Europeans have been doing for decades and are now realizing has created huge socioeconomic problems, ghettos and social unrest???

I can't help but feel that the “new” Newt is a lot more moderate than the original Newt. Whether he is more moral only time will tell.
