Christopher is a smart and savvy guy, and I wouldn't underestimate his opinion

Oh heck, I’ll go first and misunderestimate Newt!

PS: I really like his alternative history books, though.

Don't underestimate how badly Newt is damaged goods.

Newt Samsonite Gingrich and Clarrisa/Calissta = wife #3? I think not.

Is it possible that Gingrich has analyzed his own history, learned the lessons from the 1990s, and can have his own political comeback in 2012?

The answer is NO, and Newt is delusional to think he can win. The left-wing media won't stop hammering him about the 3 wives, and how he cheated on the first 2.

‘In any presidential primary, party members traditionally look for someone not only who can carry the party mantle but who can potentially win.’

In the end tho its all about winning not representing any particular set of ideas or even upholding the Constitution. I think he could pull that off b/c like all modern day pols he’ll morph to make himself sellable to the highest bidder. His core values aren’t terribly different than the tards. Is this what we really want as a follow on to Barry Soetoro? I don’t think so. Winning isn’t isn’t what this country needs but I suspect that’s what we’ll get.

Let me give Newt a grade: As a RINO, I would say that Luger and Snow are tens. At that rate I would put Newt about six. in other words not the worst RINO we have but still too much RINO. Newt and Rove are both of the Elite Republican Party. Let's stick with TEA Party people.

Newt is the poster boy for why the Left seems to always win in America. He played hardball in ‘95 and the Dems went all out crazy attacking him. The GOP dumped their best chance to clean up washington. If someone that effective were on the Commie side they’d have made him a saint and built an airport named after him already. Don’t get me wrong, a scummy guy but get the point.

Newt? I dunno. I was amazed with him in 1994. But if I remember correctly, watching him on talk shows recently he is for amnesty for illegals and carries alot of baggage. I really do not trust him, but he is a shining star standing standing next to the compost pile now in the White House.

This reads like his third wife wrote this.

Don’t underestimate Newt Gingrich, especially if you’re married to him, and are hospitalized for cancer treatment.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Don’t underestimate our aversion for Newt.

If he becomes the Publican Presidential Candidate, I will be voting 3rd party.

I’d rather have Barry driving us into the dirt in broad daylight than Newt doing it in the smokey back rooms.

"party members traditionally look for someone not only who can carry the party mantle but who can potentially win.’"


Oh, so that explains McCain, Dole, et. al.

I really like his alternative history books, though.

Then maybe you should vote for William R. Forstchen (i.e. the guy who actually wrote them).
