Newt:
Good: good opposition leader, good idea guy, good communicator
Bad: can’t keep his pants on, not a good leader in power, says whatever enters his head, gets caught up in global warming and other wacky ideas.
I think of Newt as the Tony Romo of politics: dazzling during the first 3 quarters, major meltdowns when the game is on the line.
Clinton pwn'ed Newt during the shutdown.
