We fear that to nominate former Speaker Newt Gingrich would be to blow the opportunity to win the White House next year. —The Editors

Of course. At National Review, they love Willard.
No one is forcing you not to vote for him in the primary. I won’t vote for him in the primary.
We already have one and his name is Newt Gingrich.
While I am absolutely not a fan of Newt, I am less a fan of Myth.
It is no secret that NRO is in the tank for Myth.
They might as well change their name to National RINOS Online.
No Myth ever!
Cry me a river.
Gingrich is the most knowledgeable and he exudes leadership and confidence, two qualities sorely absent in the current White House.
NRO jumped the shark long ago.Their opinion means bunk.
We've had RINO after RINO. Couldn't we try someone besides Willard?
Sincerely,

I don’t care if I get banned for this, but:
Newt - sleazy establishment hack who knows how to play the system
Mitt - sleazy establishment hack who does not know how to play the system
The only solid choice are Bachmann or Santorum. Both do not have any realistic chance.
The only logical choice left is either Paul or Perry. Paul is a nut with a good fiscal policy. Perry is a proven conservative who has lead Texas for the last decade. His only downside is his love for illegal immigration.
None are looking too good for an enthusiastic conservative turnout during the general. If I have to pick, I will pick Perry.
No surprise here. The NR endorsed Milt in 2008.
Pundits for Romney!
Pathetic and rather outrageous.
Well said.
Of course they do. Frank Meyer, Bill Rusher, and all the old guys must be turning in their graves to see what the Noo Yawk Neocons have done with the flagship paleocon opinion journal.
Meh. I said no to National Review a couple of years ago. Sad how it collapsed after Buckley passed.
I'm more and more convinced it needs to be Perry. He's far from perfect - all our options are - but in my view he's conservative enough to live with, and more conservative than Romney or Gingrich. Bachmann and Santorum have more pure records, but neither has any money and both seem a bit tone-deaf to me when it comes to messaging (not that Perry hasn't had his own issues in that regard). Perry has successful executive experience and would, I think, make a very solid President.
“The only solid choice are Bachmann or Santorum. Both do not have any realistic chance.”
They above 3% yet?
I wish I had a subscription to it ... so I could CANCEL it!
The National Journal can bite me, along with Coulter, Savage, Beck, and Rove.
I gotta say I am no fan of Newts however I have visceral hate for the republican establishment. So if I have to make a choice they are clarifying it of me.
I agree with you, but he has to get off the ground and fight for it.
