What New with Newt?

What's up with Newt?

Why is his face and voice all over the media nowadays?

Is he running for Prez? No, he's not running for Prez, IMHO.

He's running for VP. He can be a kingmaker and probably realizes that he has that role in his grasp. He can be an even more powerful VP than Dick Cheney.

Just imagine: Add a Gingrich VP role to a ticket headlined by a Pres. contender named Romney or Giuliani or McCain - the ticket has immediate gravitas, to use a lib word. With the Newt on the ticket, he addresses any and all weaknesses associated with the Pres. contender.

Newt for VP is a strong and natural selection.

My preference, Condi + Newt just ain't going to happen since she won't run, so I look to Newt to crown the next Republican King.

However, there are those who care more about his marital life than his qualififcations as President

What happened to "character counts"?? We were all up in arms when Slick Willie was adulterous with Monica, but we are supposed to give Newt a free pass because we like his politics?

We were all up in arms when Slick Willie was adulterous with Monica...

No were weren't. Not any more than JFK and FDR screwing around.

Slick lied before a Federal Grand jury and the American people. Clinton was impeached and disbarred from practicing law.

The lie was the crime, the affair destroyed what little character he had left. Newt, being an adulterer himself, will have problems getting support amongst the Evangelical community.

Character counts to me. No way I'll vote for him.
