Sounds to me like he's perfectly qualified to be Condi's campaign manager.
Baggage? The Democrats are running Hillary. This is basically a done deal. Talk about baggage!
I could vote for him no problem. It's been ten years. Nobody remembers. The dim shill media never forgets. But, the Pubby majority in congress are belong to him and no one else. The big problem in '08 is the same as '88 and '92 too many Pubby candidates not obeying the 11th commandment. Ripping each other to shreds splitting the party, while St. Hitlery enjoys coronation. Newt is a brilliant campaign strategist, he maybe able to at least win the nomination. Frankly I can't see anyone who can beat Hill , maybe a dark-horse like Sam Brownback. The man exudes integrity.
I've always loved Newt, but, yes, he has too much baggage.
But the MSM has the beast's back and has the long knives out for Newt.
Newt is just as polarizing as Hillary is....
I don't think he could carry a ticket. Maybe as a VP, but we all know he won't go for that...
Not doable.
Newt was my congressman for all of the years he was in the Congress. Newt was a good and faithful soldier that led his party to many victories as a purist in ideas. I remember when Newt promised that he would hold President Clinton to his words and deeds and that he would speak out every time he could.....'holding Clinton's feet to the fires' so to speak for each time Clinton hit the 'moral' skids.
Well, now, guess what happened then.....Newt did NOTHING because it would be a case of the pot calling the kettle black. It turns out that Newt was just another politician getting something on the side.
He lost ALL credibility and he has lost my trust. I personally wouldn't vote for him to be dog catcher.
Ideas (good ones) mean nothing if you don't back them up with deeds......
Newt would be an excellent President. He is a class A American whose country and it's citizens come before politics. If he did run you can be sure the dems would use more 'dirty politics and lies' than they have in the pass.
Gingrich doesn't have possibilities to win.
He'd be a great President. Unfortunately the leftist media will tear him apart.
If he was a Democrat, No. A Republican, Yes
Clinton lowered the bar for baggage pretty low.
I'd vote for the man. Brilliant mind and he has a spine.
About the best you're going to get these days for President
If nothing else, Newt will force the others to address his ideas. That will elevate the whole of the Republican primary and also force the Democrats to face the issues.
Jennifer Wilbanks could probably get the nomination as popular as she is on FR today. 29 threads about her this morning seems a little excessive to me. I posted a thread that was pulled because there was one duplicate. WHY all the threads about JENNIFER WILBANKS?
Well, now, guess what happened then.....Newt did NOTHING because it would be a case of the pot calling the kettle black....
You sound like a jilted lover. You state his promises and then explain why he couldn't keep them. Yet, you still blast him like a woman seeking alimony.
The problem is, the MSM will never let the American people forget the ethics problems. Newt is a Republican not a Democrap!
If Newt ran for president, I'd not only vote for him once, I'd vote for him twice! (I'm an Indian and can do that, you know).
