Not to me. Newt is too intelligent for the American people, has baggage, and believes in global farts.
He doesn’t have much chance in winning, but he will be a great conductor of all of the liberal BS that’s bound to be generated via the press and DNC.
And if nothing else, Newt will raise the level of debate,while at the same time force the Dems to answer some of the tough questions they would otherwise be given a pass on.
Run, Newt,Run!
He will be hounded and hounded about his “hypocrisy” (dems words not ours) during the Clinton administration. We will all go back to 1999 (or whatever exact year it was). Will we have to hear from the women he cheated with? Yes interesting indeed.
I’ll file this in “Interesting but Bad.”
Newt’s a much better color commentator than he ever was a quarterback.
please don’t run. You cheating on your wife and dating a woman much younger than you who works for you is not good for the conservative base. Yes, your personal life should not be a factor but it is and the dems will exploit this to the planet Jupiter and back. You soiled your reputation and all you did as speaker does not mean jack now.
I don’t think so. Newt’s not the figure Fred Thompson is. Nor does he have the appeal that Romney has. He’s just another face in the mass.
Sure, he has had some great ideas, but his time came and went. I’m not interested in more baggage. We already have enough on our side.
One thought..........
Newt may not get the nomination for presidency but if he gets significant numbers at the primary, that may translate into support for the V.P. slot or a heavy weight advisor in the convention for the Republican Adminstration.
It’s all about power!
He could have been a great republican leader if he could overcome his narcissism and his pants coming unzipped.

No chance in hell, but is helpful from the sidelines.
Newt is as bad of an “Internationalist” as Bush has turned out to be.
With his “baggage” that we all now know about(adultery, hypocrisy) Newt couldn’t win a statewide race in Georgia much less a national one. Didn’t Thompson win a recent straw poll there? On top of that Newt’s as poisonous to a substantial portion of the electorate as the Hildabeast is.
He would be a sure blowout loser if at the top of the ticket and a substantial drag on a ticket if at #2.
Newt’s time has come and gone
So sorry.
