We were supposed to put Newt's history a-side and make believe he was the uber-conservative just because he was going to whip both Romney and Obama in debates with one hand behind his back.
Then after getting whipped in a debate he announces that he can't beat Romney in a debate because Romney lies (I guess he figured that Obama would never lie LOL), and furthermore he said wouldn't debate Obama at all if there is a MSM debate moderator, which pretty much killed the whole point of him.
SOL 2012!
Personally he lost me at the whole, “candidate for defending traditional marriage.” Really, Newt?
