DOn’t get me wrong, Newt vs Romney is no contest for me. I’m currently trying to decide if I’d support Paul over Romney (I do believe though that if Newt had burned out, we’d be a pro-Ron-Paul site now).
Given that we are going to have Newt, I wish we’d spend less time defending him, and more time pointing out where he is wrong and getting ready to pull him back to the right on the issues that matter to us.
I guess others think this is too early, because he could still lose, and I respect that. But it’s not like what we say here matters, this is inside game, and I’d like to see us be honest about what we need to hold Gingrich to the fire on, like that he has to stop attacking conservative positions and adopting liberal talking points. I don’t think that is too much to ask of the guy we’ve decided to accept as the conservative alternative for President.
