Agree. What did you think after Newt's interview today?

Did not hear it; but, based on what I read on thread, sounds like he did OK. Again, I am not necessarily boarding Newt's bandwagon. I AM opening myself to be persuaded.

I have become convinced that "she whose name everyone knows" cannot win in the general election, even if she wins the nomination. And I am not at all interested in saying any more than that about that at this time.

Thanks, don-o. I think Newt did well. He is a serious contender despite what George Will says. His views on medical vouchers/bonds/whatever, is one point that has me concerned. I understand the point about being responsible for yourself and your bills, but his position didn't sound much different than the individual mandate requirment with the obama plan. He needs to clarify and rethink this point if he wants to be taken seriously as a conservative (or "center-right") candidate.

On your second point, I think it Would be extremely difficult at this point.
