Right! God forbid we would elect a conservative who can intellectually handle the press! Might not be on your "short list" but it's actually the MOST IMPORTANT requirement of the next President! Our biggest problem is that we fail to teach conservatism. Newt does it with every word out of his mouth. If you want to continue to sit on the bench with Nancy Pelosi you go ahead . . . . but Newt isn't there anymore!
Talking is not the most important aspect of being a candidate. So far, the whole election has been determined by this whole “he can debate” concept. He has too much baggage, and he is not a consistent conservative on many issues.
Perry is the superior candidate, hands down. None of the baggage, but all of the record.
