I kinda doubt that Newt’s unfavorables rise to the level cited by Brit Hume yesterday.

Obviously, the divorce/bitter wife thing did not hurt him in SC, a religiously conservative state from what I understand.

The culture has changed, perhaps sadly, to the point where this sort of thing doesn’t have the impact it might once have had.

My candidate was Perry, but when he withdrew and endorsed Newt, it reinforced my liking for Newt who was my second favorite. I liked that he thanked Perry in his speech last night, and I particularly liked that he said he will be consulting with Perry.

Because Perry had all the right ideas and I hope he can influence Newt. Dismantle the EPA. Stop foreign aid altogether and put it back as deserved. Have a flat tax. Don’t even talk about what to do about illegals until the border is secure.

I don’t think the border is as big an issue to Newt as it is to Perry because Perry’s had to live with the disastrous effects of a porous border.

Does anyone know Newt’s stance on global warming now? I hope he’s realized that this whole fraud is a product of leftists and will fight it.

Newt does appear to be our absolute best chance. Regardless of who gets in we will have to keep pressure on them to do the right thing. Its just how it is.

Same here. As Newt gave his victory speech I was holding my breath and praying he wouldn't omit Perry.

There is some talk about Perry on the ticket but I just can't see him leaving a real job for a largely ceremonial one. Both men could get a lot more good accomplished, if Perry continued to govern in Texas; at least that's my .02.

Brit and most other FNS types have spent the last 2 days badmouthing Newt. Hard left turn and losing my viewership rapidly. Who can we turn to for “fair/balanced”?

Trip the best candidate.

Newt can and will recover many of the naysayers.

Since Mitt is 0-light he is our only hope!

If we only had a mad scientist, we could create the perfect candidate: A man with Perry's physical appearance, Newt's brain and eloquence, Palin's conservative ideology, and Romney's money.
