“Newt has been embarassing, and gotten support from misplaced nostalgia for the 90’s.”
Very true. I acknowlege and commend Newt’s accomplishments and intelligence, but realists know that he’s probably unelectable, not because of his stances on the issues but due to personality traits. He did do well in the South Carolina debate last night, though.
I never saw anyone get a standing ovation at a debate before, and good for Newt.
But I was disappointed in Newt for telling Rick Santorum that he should get out, especially since Rick did better than Newt in the first two contests.
