Mswalnut replies to R.Costa's article at National Review, 02/09/12:

"Whatever one might say about Newt, there is no denying the fact that he is the only candidate who had demonstrated with actual past accomplishments the attributes that our country gravely needs now.

And that is my main consideration in choosing our leader, not some nebulous idea like electability which implies voting according to how we think others will vote, which is ridiculous.

Some had pointed to the fact that Newt didn’t get on the ballot of some states as evidence he was ill-prepared to be president. But one can also argue that it shows his superior motive of wanting to do something only after seeing the dangerous course the nation is on, by jumping into the race even without a lot of resources. Compare that to Romney who for years wants to be president but who does not even see the problems the country is facing.

I hope Newt will do well in the rest of the primaries and become our nominee. If not, I can take great solace in my long-held belief that for better or worse (from our perspective), the outcomes of the primaries, as well as the general election, are not going to be decided by man. And until that final outcome is revealed, all man could/should do is work steadfastly toward his goal.

God bless you Newt and thank you for the courage in stepping up to the challenge when others aren’t."
