Agreed. Newt is by far the most intelligent.

One thing’s for sure. Christie’s endorsement of Romney didn’t magically turn Romney into a conservative.

Romney is the SAME man he was last week, when Christie’s supporters didn’t want Mitt to be their candidate.

I wish there was a provision in the Constitution for an ‘intellectual whip’ in the executive branch. Nothing has given me more pleasure than to watch Gingrich give the ‘look-at-me-ain’t-I-clever’ media (including Fox types who should know better) a tongue-lashing over their idiotic gotcha questions and their general failure to do their jobs (again).

He always does so well in the debates.

He’s an excellent public speaker and certainly knows how to accomplish things in DC.

If he would could come out with “My contract and promise to Conservatives”, acknowledging his past errors and what he will specifically do to promote conservatism and how he will govern as a Reagan conservative”... it might help.

I’m now leaning towards full steam ahead to retake the Senate, improve the numbers in the House and then have the conservative congress hold Pres. Gingrich’s feet to the fire.

NEVER AGAIN will we let a President go crazy like Bush did.

He sounds good, yes.

But he still has a sorry history of actions and activities in the 90s.

Clinton was impeached. Gingrich was the one who lost his job — forced to step down as Speaker.

Ethics problems/investigations.

Personal (marital) havoc.

Basically walked away from his House seat.

So what has he been doing for the last decade? Writing books, being a news commentator, and being in think tanks.

No matter how fast he runs, Gingrich cannot outrun his past. And the MSM/Dems would love to use that trainload of baggage against him in the general election.

How can a globalwarmingist be called a conservative???? How can an amnestyite be called a conservative??? AGW all alone is an economy killer and requires rapid and extensive government centralization. His opportunism and political acumen would make him a great VP pick. His opportunism and stated positions on hugely socialistic principles should render him anathema for the presidency.

I am for Newt for VP or head of the White House staff.

I agree and I honestly don’t think Romney will be all that wonderful against Obama in a debate situation. Gingrich would demolish him.

No to Newt. If two (2!) EX wives can't trust him, I CANT trust him. His belief in gloBULL warming knocked him out of a serious run before he even filed.

I love newt on the sidelines, but he needs to get off the playing field.

Newt is the brightest man in the room, and also the most experienced when it comes to left wing tactics. He'd clean Obomas clock.

I'd gladly take Newts private failings over Obomas presidential failings!
Newt may have hurt two or three people, where Oboma has hurt almost every person on the globe!

This election isn't about who stuck who. It's about saving the U.S., and the globe, from the chaos the left has created. It's going to take a strong leader to do what has to be done. I just don't see the other candidates being tough enough or crafty enough.

He never looked bad ... the media attempted to use a dirty brush some years ago, and it DID cloud things for a while (still some residual dirt .. ), but in the arena of ideas and cerebral excersizing ... Newt outshines them all.

He had BETTER be a close advisor in whatever Republican administration occurs in 13 months

I prefer Cain but I'll settle for anyone not named Romney, Perry or Huntsman.

“Clinton said, ‘You and I are alike.’ Which meant, shut up about Monica or I’ll start telling your story,” Armey said. “Newt and Clinton actually developed sort of a bond over it.”


This was talked about on FR back in the 90’s. Newt had many congressional investigations into the clinton crime machine shut down or severely curtailed in scope. Both are scum but Newt allowed himself to be blackmailed.

Like I said last night, my opinion is that Newt knows he’s not going to get elected as President, therefore he’s saying whatever the hell he wants. It just so happens that alot of what he says, we all agree with.
