I expect, Cainiacs, if I could have recorded you at the time in the late 1990's that you all would have been calling these charges against Gingrich a witchhunt, baseless, and vindictive.

And they would have been right. The charges were garbage and Pubs caving in to media pressure to throw Newt overboard led to their stagnation and loss of the House majority. The Pubs never accomplished anything big after he was gone.

However, Newt is not the best candidate for conservatives. He has a tendency to over reach and to always look for the large and dramatic solution. Sometimes a horse will get the job done instead of a zebra. If Newt is POTUS conservatives will always have to worry about when he is going to have a "Nixon going to China" moment.

I think Newt is solid on supporting Life and other social issues. I think Newt would be good on appointing conservative justices. I'm not so sure he would be good about devolving power back to the states. His history is one of thinking he can manage the existing beast better rather than killing it.

Perry is going to bounce back. Perry is a better conservative candidate. He has a solid conservative history and has been as strong fighting for the unborn as any candidate we will ever get. Also, Perry is not from the beltway culture or the Ivy League elites. He comes to DC as an outsider. He will bring outsiders in to run the bureaucracy. Finally and most importantly Perry makes no bones about being a Christian.

AG phrased it well when she said something to the effect of, "I want a POTUS who will get down on his knees and seek the Lord's guidance".

I'm sticking with Perry. I hope you Newt supporters reconsider.

I would really hope for Cain an outsider a regular citizen, however I will
take Perry over Newt, the MSN is going to wait until it is to late for us to
make a change and then Newt is going to be slaughtered, really, really
ugly and no way for us to turn back!!!!!!

The problem with Perry is that he cannot be trusted in debates.

I actually sincerely hope that bachmann makes a comeback. I think she is brilliant. I can’t believe how smart she is on foreign policy. WOW! I would not mind her at all. Cain is still my first choice, Bachmann is my second and Sanotrum is my third. Perry has to do a complete redo to get traction again. I guess with 35 days he could. I don’t know. This primary is CRAZY!!!!!
