I always had serious doubts about that ‘deathbed’ story. That said, Newt is still scuzzy and he had a habit of folding like a cheap-tent at the drop of a hat. I was unyielding in my disgust with Bill Clinton over his behavior, and there’s no way I’m going to give Newt any kind of pass. I’d never give him my vote under any circumstance, even in the wildly unlikely scenario he becomes the GOP nominee.
Newt will undoubtedly be the nominee.... and I couldn’t be happier. Do you guys ever listen to anything he says? He is not perfect, but he is infinitely better than anyone else running (or considering it), including Chris Christie. He had admitted backing DeDe Scozzafava was a mistake..... what else do you want him to do?
A year from now, all the Newt-haters here will be on board, and openly cheering his speeches, statements, debate performances, ideas, and attacks on Obama. Who else has the vision, charisma, clarity, and knowledge to rally the country around? Tim Pawlenty? haha.... Mitt Romney? Uggh.
