He would vote for Newt in a primary if he could as he feels Romney has the best chance to beat Obama. That's how I understood it.

 

That is exactly my thought on the issue. :thumb:

1987 called. They want their cheerleader back.

 

So what is wrong with 1987 cheerleaders??? Heck, I almost went with Betty Ford.

That's how I understood it.

I guess my brain started spinning once I read "I want Obama to be re-elected".

Oops, wrong thread.

The media is rooting for Newt according to the discussion I heard on CNN from a few of the media folks themselves. They say the debates would be great and the race will be less boring, it will make better "news". The only problem is, Newt can't defeat Obama. That's why the Democrat party and Obama are cheering him on as well. He can't get the independent swing vote the way Romney can. I believe Romney could win if nominated, although it would take some swallowing of pride by the untra right wing of the party. They would still vote for Romney because of their strong dislike of Obama.

So, if the conservative side of the GOP wants to be hardheaded and nominate Newt because they're hung up on some of Romney's policies or his religion, then they can forget about the presidency until 2016.
