Gingrich is better than Romney (I think) and Obama (definitely) but he's a mixed bag IMO and I think unpredictable once he's in power.
I suppose it's too late for Santorum.
Have you not followed the prior debates and various Gingrich interviews? He has explained multiple times that he and the Republicans in Congress (with, IIRC, the blessing of the Heritage Foundation) had pushed the mandate as part of a plan in opposition to Hillarycare back in the early 90s.
It was the lesser of the two evils then available. It became moot when Hillarycare was shot down, and the GOP took over Congress. It’s not as if Santorum didn’t know exactly what was going on at that time. So these things have to be held in context.

And Obama isn’t? Can you imagine how “unpredictable” this marxist nut case will be with a second term?
If you fear Gingrich, then ELECT a conservative Congress that will reign him in! It’s called the balance of power ...if we follow it, it will work!
I don’t feel Gingrich EVER did anything dangerous or out of control while Speaker. Look at what he DID, not what your’e afraid he’ll do — or what RINOS and libs tell you he’ll do.
The Republicans, just like the Democrats, have been calling for healthcare AND health insurance reform for decades. Discussions concerning mandatory health care have sputtered off and on due to the fact government already supplies healthcare to indigents and the poor.
Restructuring the way private health insurance is configured across state lines and entire regions would mean greater affordablility of health care to a greater number of people.
Unfortunately, the communists in BHO2’s administration are destroying the greatest healthcare delivery system presently in the world by strangling private health insurance companies.
Newt Gingrich would reverse that anti-business move. That doesn’t mean EVERYTHING in Obamacare was rotten: just most of it.
