"Newty is well regarding among conservatives."

Which is more than a little amusing considering the "Bash Rudy" posts that I've seen from the "holier than thou" crowd...

Newt's a good man. My only concern is that he's damaged goods. He's been demonized by the Left for so long that I'm not sure how effective his campaign would be. Having said that, he'd be a formidable candidate if he is able to get his message out over the deluge of negativity from the Lamestream media..

Didn't he kind of lose credibility over his Contract with America?

I've always thought Newt had a good grasp of the issues and could articulate solutions to pressing problems better than most.

But, I agree with you, he could get the Republican nomination, and then fall way short in the general election. And with the opposing 'rat most likely being Hillary, that is a scary scenario.

That's one a several problems I have with Newt n' Rudy.

I know Ronald Reagan was divorced but I'm pretty sure he didn't commit adultery like those two.

It's a big enough character flaw that gives me pause.
