I’ve posted this before. Several conservative, evangelical friends of mine have stated flat out that they could not vote for Newt due to his past morality and would sit out this election. That was before this latest rehash from ABC.
Although the guy is brilliant, it is just too much baggage. Furthermore, all of you guys saying, in essence, “big whoop, an ex-wife has it against her husband”, wouldn’t be so dang cavalier if Newt was a dem (and sometimes it is hard to tell that he is a conservative, given his past slams against the Republican’s budget plan, sitting on the coach with Pelosi, receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from Fannie Mae, etc.)
While Santorum isn’t perfect either, the guy doesn’t have the baggage, is pretty dang conservative, and understands that we need to cut spending.
Please consider Santorum before it is too late to matter.

You’re looking at it the wrong way. It’s not what we would do... What would the dems do in this situation? They would coalesce around their guy and they would win. They wouldn’t give two flying f#$@s what we think. Why should they? Why should we?
Perfect is not in this race. Newt is the best we have. He has the ability to put all the leftist garbage into proper perspective for the average Joe - we need to circle the wagons and fight.
