So what you're saying is it's all an exercise in futility?

Or do you have a candidate you think would do more, and better, than Newt? If so, cool, though it would be nice to be enlightened as to why I should switch from Newt to someone else. But if all you have is despair, then ... maybe a gardening forum, or a sports forum or somesuch, would be a better place for you and for FR. Resigned despair is for losers.

More an exercise in reality.

"Or do you have a candidate you think would do more, and better, than Newt? If so, cool, though it would be nice to be enlightened as to why I should switch from Newt to someone else.

You can cut the valley girl histrionics. My experience with any given candidate is that what I think he would do, could do, or should do doesn't come true when the candidate gets into office. George W. Bush was such a candidate, but there is no way I would have voted for the alternative.

I will be supportive is Newt gets the nomination. I suggest that whatever you think he would do, he probably won't. Newt says some nice things, and talks tough. Picture Newt on a couch with Pelosi.

I'm not going to elaborate, but I have fought losing battles, knowing that I was going to lose, resigned to losing, but fought anyway because it was the right thing to do. Time proved me right in some of those battles. I have fought and won, and fought and lost. But I fought nonetheless.

Thanks for the advice on what would be a better place for me, and for now, I will restrain from suggesting where you should go.
