But what I call modifying your position based on new information everyone else calls flip-flopping. Newt is a scandal tie bomb waiting to go off.

I just don't know who the nominee is once everyone gets torpedoed. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if by the end of December Huntsman was riding high at the top of the herd.

Yeah he apperently took a big payment from Fannie and Freddie Mac. While I am not sure it is the big deal it will be made out to be if he makes the general election it is pretty tough to be anti big-government and anti "business as usual in Washington" with this happening within the last 5 years. It's got to be Romney and that may lead to Obama's re-election which might not be the worst thing to happen if the Republicans still control big parts of Congress. Gridlock: About the best a Ron Paul supporter can hope for in this next election. Romney as president: immediate disaster as we go to war with Iran within the year. At least Obama (and Republicans who don't like war when Obama is president) will hold off the military industrial complex a little bit.
