For the record, I did not post this in breaking news. I posted my observation in Vanity/My opinion, Conservatism, and politic/elections. Someone else moved it.
Also for the record, I have been critical of Newt as well and have been holding out hope Santorum would be the answer...but the more I see the establishment go after Newt the more it makes me want to (hold my nose and) support him.
The choice seems to be coming down to Romney or Newt...not Newt and perfection. At this point you have to pick one.
Your stated sentiments are shared by many. Many of us are being left in an ‘impossible situation’ with the choices we are being left with. I blame the person who I would rather see in the race (even now) for this train-wreck we are being forced to watch.
