But he does not stand by his wives, now does he? How does THAT appeal to the cohort in question? Newt has a host of other flaws, but enough already.

Rudy's not much of a homebody either.. And Romney's a liberal Mormon. To merely mention them overstates the size of the constituency. :)

McCain is, well, McCain. See my tagline for details.....

Gingrich will appeal the the 'cohort to be courted' only on the basis of his polcy proposals, not on his character strengths, which aren't strengths, so he won't appeal to them enough to be nominated. I voted for Romney in your poll, btw, if only because McCain and Giuliani are completely unacceptable considerations for the Presidency.

{But he (Newt)does not stand by his wives}

Err. How times has Rudy been married? Rudy and Newt carry baggage. At least Mormon Mitt does not carry baggage.

My dream ticket would be Sanford/Pawlenty. Since neither is interested in running. I am, for now, tenatively leaning toward either McCain and Mormon Mitt.
