I'm supporting Newt because he's the only viable candidate at this point, IMHO, and that's it. It's unfortunate, again, that we're forced into this position, but the community needs to rally behind someone at this late stage.

Perhaps you don't get what's happening here. If all we were looking to do is rally around a viable candidate, we'd all be Mittbots by now.

No, the vast majority of Freepers (and others) have inspected the prospective crop on hand, and have rightfully determined that of them all, Newt Gingrich scores highest in all of the most important categories.

I personally began to gravitate toward Newt after Cain was run off. At that point in the race, there wasn't anything close to a guarantee that he'd do as well as he is right now, but upon inspection, he came closest to fitting the bill for what I need and want in my next president.

We can bemoan the fact that we don't have a perfect champion in the race, but thank God we have a real fighter, who believes in the Founders' vision, and has the requisite experience and skills to dismantle much of the Socialist leviathan that's dragging us down.

Amen!
