Newt's da man!
I saw him on Cavuto. He's going to make us wait until September. To be honest I don't think he's going to run for President - I think he wants the VP slot.
Just one clarification.
A few days after he spoke to Glenn and Helen he said that he didn't really own a gun. His son did and kept it at his house in Utah.
You just can't make this stuff up. Romney is done.
Perhaps the author of this hit piece doesn't understand that the guy is already famous and very rich . . . not because of who he married or what family his was born into but because of what he actually accomplished. While I am not a big fan of some of his mushy moderate political positions, both past and present, I can't help but be impressed with what he accomplished as an executive as opposed to his statements as a candidate for the most useless body of our legislative branch against the most useless member thereof 13 years ago.
I've never seen him about double digits in any nationwide poll, so I have to wonder why the long knives of the media are already out for him when he is, at best, the third place candidate and, at worst, a Steve Forbes with a better haircut.
Yes.
After all he is from MA.
The long knives of the Media are out for every Republican candidate right now. They want Hillary in office. And nothing will stop them.
I have a hard time with the notion that Newt would want to be anyone's second fiddle.
THis is from NR.
His biggest supporter, KLO, is there.
I hope you are right. He'd add excellent idealogical and geographical balance to a good, solid conservative candidate like Duncan Hunter (long shot) or Mark Sanford (my ideal, but so far, not interested).
Eight years of veep of a fairly conservative country, as opposed to governor/senate candidate of the most lieberal state would give us all a chance to see if we had the real McCoy or not.
I'd say the long knives are within the GOP myself, the press is just helping them...la
That Gay Pride Poster alone is all many Conservative Republicans are going to need to turn them against him.
Romney/Rudy '08 or switch it. Not what I want but a prediction.
This is not a normal election 'cycle', he who waits till September will not have time to grab, money, talent and organization. Maybe he is doing that behind the scenes, but I doubt it. Wish I knew what his game is.
Or Duncan Hunter
And you ain't seen nothin' yet.
I knew Deroy when he was a teenager in Los Angeles in the early 1980's, when both of us were activists with the Young Americans for Freedom. At the time, he was inner-directed, goal-oriented, and a hard-working student, and I knew even then that he would some day be famous.
Not bad at all either way.
