"Newt may be just the guy with enough experience to pull this country back before it goes completely over the cliff and descend in to the abyss of socialism, . . ."
I'd like to agree but from where I'm sitting we've already gone over the cliff and are rapidly approaching the final impact. Newt is the guy who can ensure that we survive the impact because he's the only one who knows what the country has to return to as well as what it has to do differently in the future. Everyone else would use the impending impact as an excuse to wipe the slate clean and make an even bigger mess.
JMHO
Unfortunately you may be right, sorry and sad to say.
