Pay little attention to the Kamikaze Conservatives on this forum. They would rather be 'right' than win elections of consequence. Their litmus test requires inhuman purity. Anyone who would qualify couldn't possibly get elected to anything.
Newt is a 95% pure conservative that can and will get elected to President - unless the kooks mount a third party effort and hand the election to Obama as a statement of their inflexible purity and principles.
George Wallace gave the country Nixon, Ross Perot gave us Clinton and Ralph Nader phoned over 90,000 votes from the Democrats in Florida providing the win for George W. Bush.
One thing you can’t mount an excuse for. Newt is Newt. Newt always turns out to be 100% pure Newt. I trust Newt to be Newt so much that it wouldn’t surprise me if he asked Hillary to be his Veep. Let’s see what Guy Molinari has to say. Molinari may work for Romney but the history is breathtaking....long before working for Romney. Mr Cain endorsing Mr Newt. LOL.
In terms of electablility, Romney and Paul poll closer to Obama than Gingrich does.
Romney and Paul are more electable.
Romney is more electable in New Hampshire, and Paul is more electable in Iowa, according to the latest polls.
Newt and Trent are the reason I left the party years ago. At least Newt had the decency to quit after that while Trent held on, never missing a chance to capitulate to libdem threats...
