Newt should have been the rightful heir to the Reagan legacy, but he shot himself in the foot with his personal life. Too bad. And the Republican Congress started going soft when Newt resigned. The Democrats don't win on their own merit, but only by tearing down Republican leadership. He would have been my first choice for president this year. He says all the right things, and is Reaganesque in his optimism and clear articulation of the values of America, but I don't know that he can overcome the baggage, nor do I think he has any illusions of winning the presidency.
I agree about Newt.
Right ideas by the wrong man. I would still vote for him but his negatives would be impossible to overcome.
