If you are looking for someone without 'baggage' you will not find him. So, no need to have a campaign if we follow your prescription. Newt gave us the House in 1994. He set into motion the Reagan Revolution resulting the taking of this government in the House, Senate, and Presidency. Everyone touts Rudi. Didn't Rudy leave his wife? Why does he get a pass? Hell, even David, the Apple of God's eye committed worse transgressions than Newt and God forgave him. If you are without sin, I will take marching orders from you, but I know only one person who fits that bill.
We, the conservatives need to rally around a leader, and as of now that should be Newt.
Well, if some of the folks here are so hell bent on going down the "Newt" road in 2008, then the Republican Party will suffer another disastrous defeat. That's all there is too it. We should learn from our mistakes and not repeat them out of sheer denial...
