However, I do not see Newt winning the presidency, nor even the nomination. This is not to say he isn't smart or visionary.
The media would be after him in a full-court press, it would galvanize the left in ways we can't even beging to imagine, and a fair number of people would be turned off by his personal life.
This is also why I do not see Rudy Guiliani running.
On the other hand, I WOULD like to see Mike Pence run. He is conservative, honest, genuinely nice, and has no baggage. The only thing he lacks is national name recognition, which I don't know if he can get prior to the primaries.
