Newt is a genius with humanity, including the flaws and foibles that implies. I think it’s a magical combination for a politician. We want someone we can relate to but also someone who can achieve great things. Newt is a conservative not because it’s been programmed into him as an ideology, but because he’s smart enough to know that conservatism works. Conservatism is the pragmatic choice. It gets the best results. A person can be great without being perfect. If the doubters of Newt can wrap their heads around that last concept then hopefully we can unite behind him and make his momentum unstoppable all the way through November.
Sarah Palin was just starting to slam the pundants about how surprised they must be that Newt won! They cut her off for Ron Paul and said “We will get back to you!”
I’m thinking if Newt wins Fla. he could go all the way.
