Yes. I don’t think Newt would be a good canidate. For one thing, he is undependable on isues.

Secondly, the media has all of their stuff on him from the 90’s in their archives, and as soon as he got the nomination he would be attacked with the old “Gingrich Who Stole Christmas” line. The general public’s collective memory of him has been poisoned by the media.

Plus, I think Callista is as scary as Michelle Obama.

You just made me laugh with the Callista thing!!

I agree with you. People are jumping on the Newt bandwagon because they love his debate performances.

We need to remember that Newt, while wildly entertaining in debates, cannot energize a crowd with a speech or connect warmly with people in the press the flesh stuff.

Also, long forgotten problems with Newt will resurface quickly if he starts leading the polls.

All your points were good ones except this:

Yes. I don’t think Newt would be a good canidate[sic]....The general public’s collective memory of him has been poisoned by the media.

The general public's actual collective memory being what it is, Newt could be the next shiny object.
