If the primary season reveals no decisive front-runner, and if conservative delegates head toward the GOP convention with the nagging feeling that our best candidate wasn't in the race, we urge them to consider acting on what so many Republicans and Reagan Democrats are thinking. Drafting Newt Gingrich is a real solution to the current leadership problem. Even as a vice presidential choice, Gingrich would solidify the ranks and reinforce the GOP's position as the party of bold ideas, but as a presidential choice he could bring about a truly needed Second Reagan Revolution.

Are they daft ?
noway.
Never!
Newt is still guzzling AlGore’s climate-change Kool-Aid!
No, he turned into a newt, not a Newt.
Right, no way. Vote Romney. OR draft Hunter or Thompson. Newt is not the answer either.
Stupidest headline of the year. They’re making some kind of joke, right?
I’ve always like Newt, but I don’t think there’s a snowball’s chance in Hell that we’ll ever be Newtered...
Lock and Load.
Personal life choices screwed up Newt, nice guy, smart -
a waste of time talking about him running for President.
Is it too late for Dick Cheney to get in ?
Given the other choices ... I’m on board!
Newt has electability problems, and a few other minor issues — but compared to Romney or McCain, he’s Reagan reincarnated.

With some of the stuff floating around FR think I need a tinfoil hat. Just say NO to Newt.
Wrong on all counts, IMHO.
I like Gingrich a lot. He is our itinerant philosopher, I like watching him in action as he takes his opponents apart and makes them like it. There isn’t anyone doing what he does, he goes on the road with his philosophical opposites, compliments whatever book they’re promoting, quotes from it approvingly, and dismantles them simultaneously, all with a smile on his face.
I love it.
But no one is going to draft anyone, its McCain or Romney. If its McCain, its a train wreck, there is no happy outcome. If its Romney, its 4 years of struggle to keep him from giving away the farm. Thats the plain truth of it.
Smart guy but completely unelectable.
“But no one is going to draft anyone, its McCain or Romney.”
Yep. I don’t see anybody pulling off an 11th hour miracle at this point. The last candidate that was drafted didn’t do so well.
Newt has jumped the shark just like McCain did.
I don’t trust bipartisan anything!
I don’t think so, Newt is not the same man (if he ever was anyway) he appeared to be in his “Contract With America” salad days.
