Gingrich: The “smartest, most electable conservative in the race”

(Charlie Smith/Time for Newt) – “Smartest guy in the room.”    “A genius.”  “Brilliant.”  “Fantastic to listen to.”  “I would love to see him debate Obama.”

“But he can’t win.”

If you’re like me, every time Newt Gingrich’s name comes up, this is the kind of thing you hear. Conservatives love him. He’s clearly the smartest guy on the stage and the candidate best suited to take the fight to Obama. So why does he always get ignored?

Because the liberal media and the establishment have been telling us all for a year that Newt Gingrich can’t possibly win. Well, I’m here to tell you that all that’s changed.  Newt Gingrich is now leading Mitt Romney in Iowa.

Consider this email your permission slip to do what you’ve wanted to do all along: get behind Newt Gingrich and fight for the smartest, most electable conservative in the race.

Mitt Romney came up with the idea that became the template for Obamacare. Without Mitt Romney, there IS no Obamacare. Rick Perry thinks you’re heartless if you don’t want to give free college tuition to illegal aliens. (He actually SAID that!) And Herman Cain is a nice man, but he can’t win at this point.

That leaves Newt, right where he’s been all along, articulating real solutions that will allow us to take our country back, turn this economy around and make us freer, stronger, and safer as a country.

Just stop with me a second and think about something: Next Fall, there’s going to be a Presidential debate between Obama and the GOP nominee. Who do you want to be in it?

Mitt Romney? The guy who has taken different positions on every single major issue?

Rick Perry, the guy who can’t articulate his positions, and when he does, seems to offend conservatives every time he talks?

Herman Cain?

The answer is clear: Newt Gingrich. He will absolutely wipe the floor with Obama. He won’t be cowed, he knows policy better, and he has the backbone to tell it like it is. He has the guts to say to the American people, “President Obama has failed.”

As the leading pro-Newt SuperPAC, we’re going to go into the states and rally the activists, and build the organization Newt needs to win this nomination and beat Obama in the Fall.

The media and the establishment don’t get to pick our nominee. We do.

Will you join us?

It’s time.
