I watched Newt Gingrich speak @ CPAC last night.

I found myself revved up, inspired and praying he would make an announcement, maybe throw his conservative hat into the ring?

 Instead he gave a math lesson. A list of numerical statistics. They were profound.

The one that stood out and made the most sense. 80/20.

We have all heard the 80/20 analogy before, but Newt put another spin (no pun intended) on it.

He said (paraphrasing) I would rather have to argue with the candidate we have left -  20% of the time -  versus arguing with a Liberal  nominee 80% of the time.

In my heart, I know he is right.

I could not bear living 4 years under democratic rule, knowing I could have made a difference.

I don't like it.  This not having a true choice. having to settle for third place.

I know what I am going to do.

Vote.

I refuse to believe that I am going against my core principles.

I believe in America.

I believe no matter the outcome, God is in control.

I was elected as the co-chair of our precinct, during our caucus on Super Tuesday. After Mitt dropped out and Fred backed McCain, I almost gave back the nomination.

I am glad I waited.

I am glad I am letting the dust settle.

Everyday is a new day.

NO!, I am not jumping with pom-poms... but I do have hope again.

Conservatism is alive and well...

Thank You Mr. Gingrich for the math lesson.

I will vote for you in 2012.
