I hope the nominee is Newt. I'd love to see Obama win in a walk and in
the process just about skewer any future presidential hopes for the
GOP.

-----------------------------------------------------

I could never vote for Newt, but the last part of your sentence
bothers me.
As an independent voter, it disturbs me to see people so married to a
particular party
that future, highly qualified and capable people will never be given
any thoughtful
consideration .... simply because of their party affiliation.

Right now we happen to have a bunch of politicians populating Wash DC
that
are behaving like school children wanting lollipops. They all chant
the same
representative BS of their party mantra, and the vast majority of them
are
political whores chasing $$ contributions. Even Obama is involved,
giving
populist speeches full of anti big-business rhetoric while accepting
re-election
contributions from the same business groups he is castigating in the
speeches.

This country needs a strong, two party system as a check and balance
safety net.
Right now we just don't have enough honest, mature people in either.
