Likewise, so am I.
I've committed enough to Newt that I'm seriously considering saving my bonus when I get it in a couple of weeks so that I can take a month or two worth of unpaid leave to go and work for his campaign in either Iowa or New Hampshire come the winter.
Perhaps it's time that we had a pinglist or something.
If Newt is to become a serious contender, he will have to return to his attack dog ways.
The media are rubbing their paws with glee at having the prospect of destroying him once again.
He will have have to own them, pure and simple. When they ask one of their loaded questions, he will have to bite right back like an Arkansas hound (like Carville).
I think Newt likes his professorial, avuncular mien. But it won't get him points with the lapdog media. They'll be nipping at his heels from the day of his announcement.
He'll need to go after them like Schwartzkoff on steroids. He'll need to be the old "bomb-thrower" Newt again.
"Trouble rather the tiger in his lair than the sage amongst his books
for to you kingdoms and their armies are mighty and enduring,
but to him they are but toys of the moment
to be overturned by the flicking of a finger."
