Ok, Absolutely Nobama...my PUBLIC reply...lol!
I agree with everyone that Newt debates well. That’s always exciting to see because we envision this great smackdown of Obama. A couple of asides though, one is that he comes across somewhat arrogant and mocking in tone and two, I think that we all need to look at what he’s done in his somewhat checkered political past before jumping off one train and into the next (not saying you specifically, just in general).
I would vote for Gingrich in the general if it came down to that. It’s just that I see a lot of people so enthusiastic about his debating skills that they might want to overlook his history.
Done it a million times. No worries!
Here’s the response that’s sitting in your inbox:
I agree 100%.
Newt’s got a lot to answer for. However, he’s waaaaay better than Ricardo Perry, Myth Romney, RuPaul, and that Huntsman guy, whoever he is.
Like I said: Cain’s my guy, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Bachmann, Santorum, or Gingrich win. My main concern is that a CONSERVATIVE wins.

You know — i get so tired of this same old theme. When Newt was speaker, didn’t he say he ended his term w/ I can’t forget how many millions IN THE BLACK debt wise? Those were the best years in recent memory. a lot of it was due to Newt and the Republicans holding Clinton’s feet to the fire on issue after issue.
Newt has baggage, but he has a lot more success behind him. I wish people would look and judge him in terms of his past successes and not just follow the bit about the “baggage.”
