I wonder if Newt has a chance. He has a new book which I haven't read. I always admired him for his "Contract with America" which heralded the Republican comeback and surge in power.

I fear Newt is too damaged politically to get elected.

Newt has no chance. If you thought Dole made a bad candidate, Newt will be 2X as bad.

I once read an interview with Newt where said something like: "I try to avoid personal contact with President Clinton 'cause (when we get one on one), I often find myself agreeing with him." Nuff said.

Gingrich couldn't keep his private parts private but when Clinton was fooling around. His moral failures allowed the MSM to buy the argument that Clinton was being hypocritically attacked for sexual profligacy.

I was a supporter of Gingrich until he screwed up. But, dang nab it, when his example and leadership was needed, he was found wanting.

Right man to bring the party to power ... wrong man to hold on to power.

I've always liked Newt. He's a common sense Conservative Economist. To me those two ingrediants are key to sound national and international policies.

I guess, it's my slant, being a business man, super pro-military ultra-conservative Economics / Business major kinds guy.
