I really didn’t want any of the GOP’s current candidates, but I listened to Newt’s NRA speech over the weekend and I think I might actually vote for him. I’m not thrilled with Newt, but there’s no way I’m voting for Romney.
I don't know whether you know it or not, but you have really hit on the heart of the matter... if people can just be brought to sitting down and listening to Newt, they almost always come away impressed, and considering supporting him, and after another 2 or 3 sit-downs they are convinced. That is why the media continues the Newt blackout.
Even grudging supporters like you are welcome :)
Thanks for having an open mind. Got friends who might vote for Newt? :)
Check out http://electad.com They’ve been archiving all of the candidates’ speeches, interviews and ads. There are hours of recent Gingrich speeches there. The recent town hall in Delaware starts out with a brilliant discussion of his social security reform. Another great one was a month or two ago in Oklahoma...Oral Roberts University maybe?
This one from before the campaign is my favorite, Gingrich to Michigan: Change or Die:

Also, check out Newt’s NRA speech from LAST year. Another great one and he goes into a wonderful 10 minute history lesson on Washington’s Crossing to help explain the importance of the 2nd amendment.
