I hope to God that Santorum hangs in the race. I think that Newt is a disaster. With all the negatives about this guy politically and personally, I don’t think that he will survive. I understand the desire to hope against hope that the Romney establishment gets a swift kick in the teeth, but I think that this guy is someone who talks a good game, but there is too much charlatan and progressive in him for me. I don’t trust him. He DID support the concept of cap and trade, and he DID NOT help develop supply-side economics. He helped with its implementation, to his credit.
My friend and I had virtually nothing good to say about Newt as Speaker, after the first hundred days. He was continually stabbing conservatives in the back. It was a long time ago, but my negative feelings toward him linger. Not a Newt, Bob
