Going back to your analysis, Mr. Fuji....I wonder if the overriding reason people began switching to Newt was his willingness to fight.

With something as nasty as a second wive’s allegations of Newt wanting an open marriage, Newt refused to play the media’s game and went on the offense with the media (not his ex-wife). This is one thing George Bush would rarely do. It wasn’t because he couldn’t, he just believed it was below the office of the Presidency.

Couple Newt’s willingness to fight, he comes up with concrete plans when asked. IOW, he’s willing to put real ideas/plans out in the public vs. merely platitudes.

That’s different/appealing to a lot of Rep’s tired of voting for the same ‘ol - same ‘ol establishment candidate.

Excellent post.

I just watched Newt for about a half hour on C-spam. He was riveting.He's so good,has such brilliant ideas no matter what the topic. And you can tell he has studied, planned and already has ideas to solve almost every huge problem we have in the country.

I think he would make an excellent President.

He reminds me more and more of Reagan.

He also does not compromise his position. At one point he was asked by some gay guy what he would do to appeal to gay Americans. Newt essentially said that those who care about the economy and national security should vote for him. Anybody who only cared about Gay Marriage should vote for Obama. This refusal to pander is what sold me.

I would like to see him say something similar to some member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
