” This is why Newt, despite his negatives, is the guy to take it to Obama.”
Right you are! This surge by Santorum made me take a closer look at him. No thanks, Newt’s warts are not near so bad as those on Santorum. And Newt has a fire in his belly that’s absent with Santorum and totally lacking with Mittens. Plus Santorum says that there’s no place in the GOP for Libertarians. Ron Paul makes a lot of sense on a lot of issues. The GOP would do well to listen to him as well, instead of belittling and trashing him. Of all of them, he’s the one who has principles, something that is sorely lacking in politics today.
