“Just what we need, another big-government Republican muddying the waters for 2012.”

Indeed. That’s really what happened with the last primary, wasn’t it?

Newt floats this trial balloon every 3 months or so.

Don’t bother, Newt. You wouldn’t even get as many electoral votes as McCain did.

Nah. He ain’t no global warming guy. He pays lip service. He isn’t in favor of an auctioned cap and trade or a carbon tax. He pays LIP SERVICE.

He would be entertaining in a debate, but the personal negatives and marital past make him an unlikely candidate. Then again, who would have predicted a President Obama? Or an Obama-McCain race in 2008.

No Newt is good News. Can we stop putting Methuselah at the top of the ticket?

We do need an articulate, highly principled candidate who can explain our views with some force while being charming. I just don’t think Newt’s the man because of the charming part. But who will it be? I don’t see anyone out there.

it's a sad state of affairs that we've only had one decent POTUS in the last 100 years...

and all we have gotten since RR are mostly retreads...

I’d rather see John Bolton run. At least he’s got a pair.

Is he going to get a speech coach to teach him how to formulate sentences without the word “fundamentally” in each and every one?

“Gingrich said he and his third wife, Callista,”

One would think he’d shut up about his wives. Of course that’s Newt’s main problem, he can’t shut up.

Please, let’s limit the draft dodging adulterer candidates to the other party.

Gingrich wouldn't be considered a draft dodger, he was already married by 1962, already had children by 1963 and had his Bachelors degree by 1965 and his PHD by 1971. Even in 1971 he was diagnosed by the draft board as having flat feet and nearsightedness. He isn't someone that was ever a part of the draft dodger efforts.
