Rudy definitely has problems, so Newt Gingrich is the best known conservative in the race. Newt gave a speech recently about 2008 and conservative principles. If you didn't hear or see this speech, check it out here. If every American watched any 10 minutes of this great speech, Newt would win in a landslide.

Newt has 64% of the people in the latest Fox Poll (40% of Republicans) saying they would not vote for him under any circumstances. (Hitlary was at 44%). Chris Wallace asked him about the poll and Newt correctly recounted the campaign of character assassination by the MSM when he was Speaker, as well as some "mistakes I made as Speaker".

I would rather see him as President than any of the current crop of candidates.

But as you and I both know, the chances that he could win are low. The MSM would drudge up all the old lies and hammer him mercilessly. And starting with negatives like his, its not a winning recipe. Newt admitted as much, adding the caveat that people will tire of the early campaign, and may be willing to look at a fresh face towards the end of this year.

Newt will be cheering, but knowing his political smarts, there is no way he's gonna run (though never going quite as far as saying so).

Newt isn't going to run and his negatives are at 64%; worse than Hillary's. His negatives, with GOPers, are in the mid 50s.
