Plus, Newt's almost 70 and has no real executive experience. Yes, Reagan was older, but Reagan was Reagan and had LOTs of executive experience.
When we put forward elderly legislators, like Bob Dole or McCain, we lose.

Right.
He resigned from his House speaker-ship. Then, he basically walked away from his House seat. He hasn't been elected to anything since then.
If the GOP were stupid enough [Party of Stupid?] to nominate him, he wouldn't get as many Electoral votes as McCain. The MSM would parade his trainload of baggage incessantly. The MSM would love to delve into his ethics violations, etc.
