I wouldn't vote for Newt for dog catcher. Count me as another one of his Georgia constituents that felt betrayed when Clinton played him like a cheap fiddle because New was doing some double-dipping of his own.
He has too much need for public recognition. His personal life is his business, except that the gal he is currently married to was a staffer, so I assume the relationship began on my dime.
I also don't like him because he is too easily brought into the enemy's tent ( Hillary, for example) and also because he went to Hastert's side on the Jefferson FBI raid controversy.
He is unelectable as a presidential candidate. Period.
