"If I thought that Newt would survive the MSM onslaught he'd suffer if he was the nominee, I'd be behind him."

Way to go filbert ... let the liberal media dictate your convictions, or lack thereof.

Way to go, JustaDumbBlonde . . . let your passions overrule your common sense.

See how easy it is to avoid having an intellectual discussion? You might have gone down the route of "no, Newt has already taken the MSM's best shot and is still standing" or any of several other coherent and rational arguments that I could think of which would argue against my position that Newt is, fundamentally, unelectable. I'm open to persuasion.

Digger's comment about Newt being able to handle Hillary in a debate is at least a defensable assertion. I think it would be highly amusing to see Hill try to keep up with Newt's new-idea-a-minute approach.

Come on, Newtsters. I'm open to persuasion. But please, ground the persuasion in political reality, not wishful thinking.

The MSM isn't going away, and it opposes much of what we hold dear. Anyone who doesn't think that they'll throw everything they have against Newt is kidding themselves. They'll do that because (in my opinion) they're afraid of him.

And, in my opinion, they will be successful in tearing him down. They're very good at that sort of thing. That's why so many good people avoid getting into politics in the first place (and, conversely, why so many bad people do get into politics.)
