I'm not going to comment on your slanted view of Gingrich, but I will say that nobody's going to be perfect. If you're looking for perfection, forget it; I'm not running.

It's not likely that I'll change my view of Gingrich anytime soon.
Having said that, if he's the GOP nominee, I'll vote for him. My thought process will likely be very much the same as I had for the 2008 election. I voted for Obama as the "lesser of two evils". Did I think he really represented "hope and change"? No. But after McCain sold out to the far right and his handlers, and even though he was a multiple incident cancer survivor picked an unqualified person as his VP running mate, he lost me. My thought at the time--and I said it here several times--was if Obama doesn't work out, I simply won't vote for him again.
The President isn't as bad as many here would have him, but still not a good enough leader for a country that desperately needs leadership. He's been hampered by a dysfunctional Congress, but I can't write off all that has been done or not done to that excuse. So I'll be voting for his opponent. And again I'll say--if that person (Mitt or Newt) is elected and doesn't work out, I'll be voting for someone else in 2016.
