I think once the labels are taken away like liberal or conservative newt shines the best. Once you label him people get confused over what party he really stands with. I'm not into 100% of what any candidate stands for so I basically fall back to picking the lessor of the evils because after all they are politicians.
I think newt is the most knowledgable man on the ticket and I like his opinions on most things. I think he has the best chance to beat Obama because he just doesn't seem to care what he says, you know? When someone is talking stupid political crap he cuts to the bone with a sharp comment and that is what's needed. Call people out when they need it, don't be bullied by the media or the opponent.
Right now it seems obamy is just cruising while the GOP is fighting but that's the system and I like it myself. Wait until newt or Romney spar with him in a debate and they start beating eachother up. Hopefully the GOP won't pull their ropeydope of letting the hits keep coming and not fighting back like with McCain. The GOP needs an infusion of common sense when it comes to what people want to see in a candidate. I mean if they strike you then strike back with brute force because the liberal party and media are bullies.
