No! I loved Newt back in the day, but now I’d rather see him running the RNC than be a Presidential candidate. Republicans either like losing or they don’t know how to clean house so that they might win again. Newt was good with that “vision thing” and knew how to win. Does he still? The RNC is clueless.

GINGRICH FOR RNC CHAIR ... NOW.

We cant wait for 2012. We need his articulate leadership NOW.

I think Jindhal would be a better candidate for Pres. in 2012.

no way. Newt goes wobbly at times & is not electable.

Palin. end of story.

RINO’s, beltway pundits and insiders can pound sand.

Newt would be a great tutor for Palin and Jindal. He should start mentoring them and grooming them for POTUS and VP. He could then have his pick of positions, from Chief of Staff to any cabinet position or head of the RNC.

Doubt there’ll be an election in 4 years. Obama and the Rats may conjure up a fake state of emergency requiring he rule indefinitely.

"He had not even settled into the House speaker's chair in 1995 when he confessed to me his presidential desires for 1996."

Well that was one of his biggest ego-meltdowns of all time. He did a great job mobilizing for the "Contract With America" and achieving a majority in the House in 1994. So does he spend the next decade capitalizing on the opportunity and implementing the conservative agenda? No, he gets greedy and immediately thinks he should be POTUS. Had he kept his eye on the ball he was positioned (thanks to his own hard work and leadership) to do great things. Instead his career melted down.....

No more damned retreads 2ndDiv, sick of ‘em. Palin, Jindal and others of this caliber. Newt can be support somewhere else, RNC position maybe? RNC is dead in the water and already putrifying but doesn’t want to admit it.

RINOs OUT! “In house” backstabbers of Palin need to be outed and their careers knocked out from under them because of their cowardice and betrayal of conservatives, no holes barred.

Most of us know that Newt couldn’t get elected to high office. He, more than anyone else I have seen can drive the Dems totally crazy with logic and clear thinking. His greatest strengths are his ability to think clearly and articulate those thoughts so they can be understood by just about everyone.

As head of a NEW GOP, Newt can speak as what they in Great Britian would refer to as the “Shadow Government”, the government in opposition.

Here are some YouTube clips of “The Newt”:

This is exactly who I believe will be the right nominee in ‘12, and have been predicting.

I will be waiting patiently for Jindal to dimantle nObama in the debates in 2012. Newt has baggage he allowed himself to be demonized by the media and unfortunately to the sheeple he is a right wing extremeist. RNC chairman though I am all for.

Newt seriously damaged his credibility with me when he sat on the couch with Nancy Pelosi and said essentially ‘we agree that global warming is real and caused by human actions in the developing countries’. Even at that point real science (as opposed to science by those looking for government grants) could see that the warming was cyclical and had already ended. ‘Human Caused Climate Change’ is all about giving more power to government and environmentalists and taking it away from individuals. I cannot support that, and so a cannot support Newt in elected office.

As for head of the RNC - I don't know. At least there would be a unified message from the Republican Party, which we have been lacking, but what would the message be? Would he continue the policy of freezing out conservatives in favor of moderates? I'm no longer sure that he would. Buying in to the Global Warming scam is the consummate “go along to get along” position that has been killing the Republican Party.

Didn’t we learn a dang thing?

The Presidency is a popularity/beauty contest. We ran an old man against a young, suave, sweet-talkin liberal.

Newt is smart but he scares children.
