I'm glad he's hopeful. Now he needs to work on getting Thompson in the race so that the Conservatives have a real candidate in the race. Newt's a good back bencher, but he ain't the man.

I love Newt (purely platonic) but no one would have more baggage in this race then Newt except for maybe Hillary.
With the recent revelations of his affair while going after Clinton for the same thing would kill his chances right their without anything else.
Also, the last time he had a showdown with the Clinton's was the govt. shut down and well, he blinked.
Listen, If someone has any ideas how to neutralize his baggage I am all ears, but until that miracle happens, he is dead in the water and he knows it. I think he wants to be a king maker IMO.

I like Newt and I used to think he would be a good force to have on the right side, but this
"The system Mayor Giuliani and Chief Bratton used, called CompsStat (Computer Statistics), works if leadership makes it work."
within the section describing metrics (which BTW, I had to look up) triggered some words I remember reading from one of our founders .. Adams maybe? ...
A republic would work only with religious and honest men ..
or something like that.
The older I get, the more treacherous man seems to become.
Now, I never heard of metrics being used in the way described, and it obviously is something that is not new, leading me to think that a whole way of thinking is going on that has nothing to do with the wisdom of God, or holiness and righteousness as a guide and path of life.

The biggest monkeywrench to Newt's 5 reasons are democrat/socialists as described at the end of the article. They, and individuals immune to personal accountability, stand against the rest of us.

Newt is the only true visionary in this race. We can't settle for someone who only looks 5 years down the line.

Great ideas. He gets my vote.
