I believe one of the problems is that people who consider themselves "true conservatives" tend to focus on the few times that a candidate veered from what they think conservative should be. For example, many despised McCain for his stand on campaign finance and illegal immigration - I disagreed with him on those as well - BUT he has a lifetime of consistently voting Conservative. He's been right on so many issues.
Newt and Romney both have things that I don't agree with BUT we need to choose a candidate that is as Conservative as possible AND can win against Obama. I don't see how Newt Gingrich can be that candidate. Why? He has far too much baggage. He is the smartest guy up there but Romney is an excellent debater. Now, he needs to learn to be tougher and not act all hurt just because someone says something he doesn't like. He also needs to totally avoid attacking other Republicans.
