CAN NEWT ATTRACT THE INDEPENDENTS WE NEED TO DEFEAT OBAMA? NOPE.

To believe that Newt is innocent of the attacks - a Mr. Clean who had an essentially unblemished record rich in conservative achievements - one would have to believe that Michelle Bachmann and Susan Molinari and Rick Santorum and John Sununu and the Bushes are all wrong because this diverse group all say he is an erratic and undisciplined leader and unreliable conservative.

I think they are right about Newt.

AND ANOTHER THING:

If Newt was so good as a leader, then why the scant number of endorsements from those he served with?

I think many on the right so voraciously love the red meat that Newt so ably tosses out, that they turn a blind eye to his many failings - as if saying: "yes, he's a bastid, but he's our bastid!"


Rest assured, the independents and moderates we need to win the election will not feel that way.
