With hindsight, I'd probably say Newt would've been a better nominee as well. Purely because he was someone that did try and find alternative ideas, which would be much more productive then the current strategy of just attacking everything Obama does while being vague. I didn't agree with him on a bunch of issues, but he was definitely one of the more fascinating candidates to me this time around and I didn't have an actual disdain of him like I did with Santorum/Bachmann/Perry. I would've liked to see him go up against Obama.
Well, the moon base wasn't too bad an idea as ideas from Republicans go.
