The “average” voter knows very little about Newt’s past or hates him for it... There are an awful lot of young people, students, 30 year olds, many voting for the first time, who are just finding out about Newt for the first time. I only discovered him in May, and I have been working very very hard for him... I have had to acquaint myself with all the stuff in his past - and I found somethings I didn’t like - and a lot of stuff I did. And I would say I represent a lot of people who are average... I come from a military family - I learned from my father - a lot of times the bastards get the job done better than anybody else... Bastard or not, Newt can get the job done.
Newt’s not my pick, but if he can win the election in November, I’ll certainly be a VERY HAPPY CAMPER. I don’t oppose him so much that he scares me, although I do think he’ll dissappoint conservatives just like George Bush did.
