I would vote Newt first, followed close by Santorum. Newt can articulate theories and Conservative ideas better than anyone and has a proven record of Conservative success. Santorum is close and has much less personal baggage of a marital nature.

Newt.

Can’t help wishing America could’ve produced a better crop of candidates, though.

I’m on board for Santorum, but the other two will do just fine.

Newt. Because let’s face it, everyone knows that when Newt speaks, people listen. When Perry or Santorum speak, it is the same-old, same-old tired talking points.

Newt, he has the policies, experience and determination to restore our country, and he will put up the best fight. He will fight the lame steam media, Obama and his goons, and the political establishment.

Newt!

Settle the Nat’l Debt by selling tickets to either his debates with Obama or his ads challenging Obama’s every word on the campaign trail.

Newt. No matter his foibles, on the National stage he accomplished what he promised as Speaker; he kept his word.
