Newt certainly has bad baggage but he will add to the discussion in a positive manner. Let ‘em all run, we will sort them out. That’s America.
No thanks, no Newt, no contest. If Newt becomes a candidate, no money for RNC. Not only not for Newt, but NEVER. The days of progressive Republicans getting any attention from me, outside of causing nausea, are done.
Sarah Palin is absolutely gutting The Won on Hannity right now.
Forget Newt. He must have a new book coming out...
Newt had his chance as Speaker of the House and he blew it by not being able to keep his zipper zipped. I won’t forget that!
Newt is stuck in 1994.
newt has the best mind around.
his presence will force looking at issues long term rather than for just the next 5 minutes.
he will run to introduce a new direction to counter the failed moonbat excess.
NO Newt.
I like Newt as a speaker and pundit. When he is good he is really good. As a speaker and a pundit.
When he went weak in the war on Clinton he ruined himself politically and it is doubtful he can ever recover. He had one chance only and that was to rally the troops when the Obamist mob took power, and go after the O hammer and tong.
He didn’t do it. His one chance to redeem himself was to go after Obama like a screaming banshee and he didn’t do it.
So he will never be president. In the fight of the century, the leaders are already leading and the fighters are already fighting. Its a pretty short list. Palin, DeMint, Bachmann, Ryan, maybe a couple of others. Newt has done pretty good too but with his negatives he needed to be all over O like fire on kerosene and he wasn’t.
The other wannabes? Romney? Pawlenty? Not even in the game. No one missed them and no one is going to miss them. Anyone running this season who thinks his rival is a fellow Republican doesn’t understand that the day for normal politics is over. Those days will come around again but it isn’t now.
Gov Cristie for President 2012.
I look forward to President Palin appointing Newt as Secretary of State.
This actually helps Palin. To the degree that Gingrich gets support, it is going to come out of the hides of Romney and Pawlenty.
He also showed during the Scozzafava kerfuffle that he doesn’t have the political intuition to deal with the feel of the electorate. He held on to Scozzy and finally caved when it did no good. He doesn’t even get points for sticking to an unpopular political principle. Politically, it would have been better for him had he flipped early instead of late.
Newt has written some pretty entertaining novels lately, I think he should keep doing so.
No more retreads, please.
Everyone here needs to be looking for some new blood. Every thing else is part of the broken and corrupt system. And forget about Sarah too. She and McCain were together for a reason. They do have some things in common.
Wouldn't want Palin to fall over laughing and hurt herself.
