My blood starts to boil when I see all of the supposedly conservate commentators and pundits say Newt is “unelectable”. Against Obama, of all people, an extremely smart, reasonably conservative candidate who has a track record of balancing the budget and working sucessfully with a Bill Clinton is unelectable? I cry foul!
How can that be true? Certainly Newt was at one time a polarizing figure and the face of the government shutdown, but people, that was close to 20 years ago. This is a new Newt. He is older, kinder, and gentler but just as smart and just as consistently conservative. When faced head to head with Obama he can certainly beat BO.
The polls that show Romney does better against Obama right now than Newt are entirely irrelevant. Once he is the Nominee and gets all of the press coverage and people in the middle meet the new Newt that will change quickly.
Stop the “unelectable” mantra. If you don’t like Newt don’t vote for him, but don’t compromise and vote for somebody else just because you think that are more electable.

Newt understands how to win big elections, how to take a message to the American people and focus on conservative ideas that they support. Reagan trailed Carter and was in the high 30′s with two weeks to go before the election, then the debates hit.
Independents are about message and ideas, not slander of character. If character was an issue for independents, they would of voted for the guy who chose to stick it out in a prison camp instead of abandon his buddies as opposed to the guy who decided to stick it out in a radical church with a guy saying G.D. America.
If he gets the nomination, next fall he will roll out a new 21st Century Contract (I know he has released parts already, but more is to come in the General), I think his ideas about daily Executive orders, Lincoln Douglas Debates, and the list goes on will show Obama for what he is, an empty suit who likes to vote present.

What is wrong w/ a govt shutdown anyway? We could use one about now.
Common_Cents (Diary) Thursday, December 15th at 3:11PM EST (link)I just laugh when I hear news stories about various governments shutting down during budget crises but saying they’ll be limited to “essential services”. WTF? Why is govt doing anything more than essential services? LOL. Heck the federal govt isn’t even doing essential services such as securing the border.
Obama=Golfer in Chief, Leading from,

Govt “invests” YOUR tax money for POLITICAL return rather than economic return.
