From Fox News:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has received the coveted endorsement of the highly influential Manchester Union Leader in New Hampshire, a boost for the 2012 Republican presidential candidate and a blow to rival Mitt Romney. The endorsement of the conservative newspaper’s editorial board places an exclamation point on Gingrich’s impressive surge from has-been GOP contender to frontrunner, and sets him apart as the new anti-Romney candidate among his competitors. “Newt Gingrich is by no means the perfect candidate. But Republican primary voters too often make the mistake of preferring an unattainable ideal to the best candidate who is actually running. In this incredibly important election, that candidate is Newt Gingrich,” the editorial board wrote in Sunday’s edition.
This election for me is about policy, not character. Newt is tops in spades in this regard, not perfect but tops.
Personally, I’d be scared of perfect. Don’t believe in it.
I’m still not sold on Newt, but he’s better than Romney. At least I can envision myself voting for him. If Romney won the nomination, I would vote third party.
I think it’s about time to leave the Republican party.
Please expand on that.
Tom, I think the field is just more big government retreads. If it’s not universal healthcare, amnesty, siding up with the greenies then it’s someone that is not faithful to his/her spouse.
