Couldn't disagree more. If the GOP relies on the old playbook of tarring someone as a liberal and such, she'll play voters like a violin.
Who else is out there right now on the GOP side, talking about reforming the medical system in as much detail and with as much passion and eloquence as Newt?
If you don't think you need a nominee who can go toe to toe with Clinton on healthcare issues, think again.
There's been an "eloquence deficiency" in effect on the GOP Presidential candidate level for, wow, at least since Jack Kemp ran in 1988 (the VP version in 96 wasn't the same, IMO).
Being correct on issues isn't enough when the MSM and others are aligned against you; a candidate his or herself needs to speak forcefully, convincingly and intelligently in order to move the ball forward in selling ideas to voters. IMO, when the GOP lacks such leadership, they underperform in terms of what can be accomplished due to inefficient persuasion and communication.
I still have videotapes full of Gingrich speeches from C-SPAN, even before he became Speaker. The man can speak, and he can connect.
Plus, he'll raise a ton of cash the next three years.
Underestimate his appeal to the GOP primary voter at your own peril, folks.
I agree. We couldn't disagree more.
