It is kinda sad, because I like Newt, but he isn't getting the attention. He isn't far right enough to appeal to the crazies.

His views on foreign aid won me. None until you prove you deserve it. Meaning Bin Laden hiding Pakistan would be SOL. (India, nuke them please?) *AHEM* Pardon me.

Why do people like Cain and Bachmann get more attention than serious candidates like Newt?

Because the establishment wants a passive (easily controlled) type like Mitt to win. (go ahead, accuse me of wearing a tinfoil hat)

I would say it is more a conflict between say "realists" and "purists". It is a conflict inherent in any political party, but probably more acute now in the GOP, namely, do you pick a candidate who most represents your views or one who is most likely to win?

Gingrich may be closer to what da "Base" is looking for, but is a long shot against Obama.

Romney probably has a better chance to win the election, but is too moderate for da "Base".....plus he's a MORMON!
