What is with you Gingrich people when you should realize how unpopular he is and that he is permanently damaged due to his indescretions.

First, Newt is not unpopular with conservatives, in the majority. Forget morals - if they were a measurement criteria for the Presidency, we would not have had FDR, Eisenhower, Reagan and many others. We also would not have suffered the Clinton dark period for this country either if morals mattered.

Show me a more patriotic, knowledgeable, experienced CONSERVATIVE (in all ways important to America) with GUTS to face the scummy, slimebag Socialists that are trying to turn America into another France....then I will support that candidate.

At least Newt is in the top ratings as electable...who is Duncan Hunter, voters will ask...to win in 2008 it is going to take a STRONG FIGHTER and I do not see one, except for Newt who will stand up to the sleaze and criminality of the left and the rotten MSM.

While true Newt is not unpopular with conservatives, he is going to need a decent amount of independents as well now, isn't he? Doesn't that cross your mind? While it is important for the GOP nominee to have conservative values they are also going to have to get a portion of independents because that alone is not going to win it and Newt is a turn off, period. He did it to himself. Keep that in mind. And while Newt is great with message, Hunter is as well. How can you forget how he went after CNN, Wolf Blitzer on the sniper video in Iraq and asked point blank "Do you want us to win?", saying "The problem is we don't have any more Ernie Pyle's and our helping our enemy". How many Republicans do that? And how many solid all-around men are there like Hunter? Newt is only in the rankings for the GOP primaries and obviously he still holds pull with conservatives but your not thinking wisely for a general election because he is damaged goods.
