Ability to Walk on Water, Also a Plus

The Iowa Republican and McClatchy newspapers convened a focus group of Iowa conservatives activists to talk about the caucuses. Huckabee is the favorite, Palin is fading fast and Romney is in big trubba for trying to provide basic health care to all the citizens of his state. Who did he think he was, governor?

But what Republicans really need is the perfect candidate:

The focus group members all seem to be looking for something different in their next President. If you could combine the attendees' top issues to create one ideal candidate, here is what he/she would look like: A strong military leader, sprinkled with a dash of Ron Paul's monetary views, mixed with an entitlement reformer, stirring in innovation on energy to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, blended together with a social conservative viewpoint, and splashed with a heavy dose of charisma. Bake it for a few hours and come up with someone who has electability. If a candidate can emerge with all those assets, he/she will appeal to a wide swath of Iowa caucus goers and be in prime position to win the GOP nomination.

But what about

a teaspoon of Newt?
