Newt Gingrich is a smart man. He has his transgressions in human traits, but he knows history.

In a distant third-place in my book.

1. Palin - way out in the lead.
2. Demint - Very capable and a good choice for VP and POTUS.
3. Thune - Great on policy, but I understand, while telegenic, projects a certain lack of "Fire in the Belly". I'd still take him over anybody but the two above him in my list.

LOL... you have already made Sarah Palin as the way out in the lead. You guys are delusional beyond belief and you are in for a very rude awakening.

One of the guys I’ve become interested in is Paul Ryan.

He has put together a great plan for getting us out of this mess. Newt is supporting Paul’s plan and I just got an email about it the other day and I haven’t finished reading it. It claims to have the formula for making SS solvent, along with MediCare.

I know that during the farce called “the healthcare summit”, Ryan was a total thorn in the side of Obama .. which makes me think there may be more to Paul Ryan than meets the eye.

He’s smart as a whip; he’s pleasant looking; can speak easily - not with overly elitist words to look important - but with straight talk which the majority of us can understand.

It would be nice to have a really financially smart person for President for a change .. especially after the mess of an admin we have now.
