Great article by Pat Sajak. Thanks for taking the time to post.
Why would you not consider voting for Gingrich?
The VP candidate must also be a person suitable for the Presendency. No less than the Presidential candidate.
Mke that their word to me means anything.

"I sure hoped that you saw it as humor."
I did! I consider myself in with the people that have actually accomplished things in this world without the "sheepskin" to back them up. :)
Newt is an Idea Generator and a Historian and is fantastic at that.
I don't think he is interested in or that capable as an administrator. Bush is very, very good at that. Newt likes credit, Bush doesn't worry about that other than gaining reelection which he has.
And Finally Newt was a Polarizing Figure and someone the DemonicRats could use to Rally and motivate their forces.... That would be tougher to me do with a new face.!!! Look at how the conservatives rally for battle with Hillary!
A couple of years ago. Pat addressed the graduating class at Hillsdale Academy about the disconnect between Hollywood and America. You can find his speech here:

Quothe King Prout:
"the left never seems to realize:
1. simplicity does not equate to stupidity
2. complexity does not equate to elegance"
True enough, but consider this; most leftists have an ultra-simplistic worldview, and they think that everyone else is too stupid to see it. If only we can create a one-world state, seize all private property, nationalize all commerce and production, and outlaw everything which is deemed by them to be harmful to the collective good, then everything will be fine. The problem is that they're too stupid to see, or admit if they do see, that this is exactly what's wrong with North Korea, Cuba, and China, and why the Soviet Union fell.
Also, what they see as complexity we in the real world see as wishy-washyness. Moral ambiguity, which is the hallmark of the hard left, is what they use for complexity. It is actually a sub-genius sort of brilliance to at once be in denial of reality in theory and practice, and not go insane, though not all manage to stay sane.
Case in point: most liberals, leftists, fascists, etc. in America and Europe, are of the priveleged class. They are mainly trustfunders or academics or artists, none being very useful to society in practice, and they are by and large fairly well off, but they hate rich people. Rather, they hate anyone who has earned their wealth the hard way rather than by inheritance or through multi-million dollar movie and record deals. They also seem to universally support the seizure of assets from these evil capitalists so that they can be redistributed to the poor, but they themselves, being the intelligentsia, are untouchable.
Their philosophy is taken chapter and verse from the Communist Manifesto, yet they live like princes. No wonder they love totalitarian dictators, they are spiritual kin. Never expect anything any of them says to make sense, and don't even listen to them except to refute them, they are parasitic worms on the Tree of Liberty.
"Well if Condi gets elected, they won't be calling her a DUNCE, but GOD knows what the LEFTIST's base will say about her!!"
Oh that's an easy one, they will make racist remarks about her like "Aunt Jemima" and "Brown Sugar", and much, much worse, especially from the black community. In fact, they already are saying those things, but it will really get nasty once the campaign begins, which I look forward to. Let them show their true colors, this is why freedom of speech even applies to those with whom we disagree, it allows everyone to show how big an idiot they really are.
