I like the idea.
People have to remember, that in 1994, after 40 years (!) of Dem control of the House, he was able to go to the American people successfully, and getting enough Republicans elected to become a Majority in the House.
If he could do it then, maybe he could get the American people energized to vote for him for President.
I think he would make a good president.
I think that Newt Ginrich would be a far better chief of staff or political director for a Republican president. Yes he was brilliant in organizing the "Contract with America" and taking back the Congress, but if you honestly look at it he did not handle the position of Speaker of the House all that well. Granted, the Klintoons hated him and went out of their way to destroy him; however, he was unable to "turn the tables" back on Clinton and in the end Slick Willie was able to make Newt look like a fool. To be an effective President, you must be in control and appearances matter a lot more than many people think.
I think he'd make a good president, too, but the problem is he's not electable. And I have stuff he's written within my arm's reach right now. I'd vote for the guy but also I'd bet the entire ranch on Hillary, and I'd plan on living in Singapore as an expat for the next four years.
Hillary vs. Newt would be deja vu 1964 all over again.
