In reality, this will hurt Newt just enough to help someone who is slicker, and prettier, but worse overall on the issues than he is. Mitt Romney. Unless Cain can hold on.

Bingo. My heart sank when I heard Newt's answer. I don't agree with him, but realistically his position makes sense. The reason my heart sank was because I knew that he had just failed the idiotic conservative purity test that keeps giving us moderates instead of conservatives for the GOP nomination.
