I don't think Romney is in the race. He just appears to be because the Tea Party vote is split. As other candidates leave the field, he isn't going to pick up votes. That much is surely apparent.

My view of Gingrich - he's a shoot from the hip "ideas" guy. The ideas blow away in any breeze. But by then he's onto his next "idea".

Substantial is not a word I associate with his thinking. I see almost everything he does as an attempt to satisfy a fairly gigantic ego. But the ego will never be satiated.

Wow, what a sucker punch for Mitt!

Union Leader endorses Newt Gingrich

By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 11/27/11 6:52 AM EST

The Manchester Union Leader, New Hampshire's most influential paper, picks Newt Gingrich as its candidate of choice in an editorial today (no link yet, but text provided by POLITICO's Ginger Gibson) across the top of the front page.

Key points in the endorsement, made by publisher Joe McQuaid:

America is at a crucial crossroads. It is not going to be enough to merely replace Barack Obama next year.

We are in critical need of the innovative, forward-looking strategy and positive leadership that Gingrich has shown he is capable of providing...

Readers of the Union Leader and Sunday News know that we don’t back candidates based on popularity polls or big-shot backers. We look for conservatives of courage and conviction who are independent- minded, grounded in their core beliefs about this nation and its people, and best equipped for the job.

We don’t have to agree with them on every issue. We would rather back someone with whom we may sometimes disagree than one who tells us what he thinks we want to hear.

Newt Gingrich is by no means the perfect candidate.

But Republican primary voters too often make the mistake of preferring an unattainable ideal to the best candidate who is actually running.
