    at this point, newt is the only republican not named ron paul that i would consider voting for, but he is a VERY distant second.
    Your kidding right?????
    Here's the situation of sorts. If we were all on a ship in a storm that was about to rip our hull apart and take us down because some idiot drove us into it purposely (that's another story) and you had 8 people volunteer to drive the ship out of the storm, each one claiming they can do it, you know for sure 7 of them have zero experience at this and one of them has successfully driven the ship out of storms that were nearly, or as bad as the one it is currently experiencing twice, you'd pick one with zero experience to do it?

    i'm not sure i understand the metaphor. are you claiming that newt has more experience than ron paul?

    here's a better analogy:
    you've got a guy steering straight for the storm, but roughly half the people on the ship don't understand the consequences of the present course.
    you've got 6 guys who claim they can avoid disaster by adjusting the course slightly to the right, taking the storm at an angle rather than straight on.
    you've got one guy who just wants to turn the ship around, accept the temporary pain of having to reverse course, and avoid the storm all together.

    Here's what it boils down to. How many times has Ron Paul pulled an economy from the brink. Zero........Newt has done this twice and it came roaring back to rally and grow strong. What Newt has done has been proven "solidly" it will work. I know it will work because I have "been there, done that, and got the T-shirt" twice. Reagan and Clinton eras. I hit the work force in 1975 and I experienced the full effect of both of these turn arounds.......

    If you put Ron Paul in a John Wayne suit, he might get a little more respect, even with some of his "naive ideas". If he's the nominee, I'm all in .... this is not the election to cherry pick and stay at home or vote for obammer if you don't get every nitpicking position you want. If someone goes 3rd party, it's over anyway.

    Why bother beating the Ron Paul horse? He will have no more chance of winning when he runs next time, or the time after!

    why do you care if he has a chance or not? voting is not about picking the winner. it's about choosing the best candidate.
