He has good ideas but lacks the self discipline necessary to be an effective candidate

He's gone from dead at the gate to front runner status. Only a negatively biased viewer could call such a person an ineffective candidate.

“He's gone from dead at the gate to front runner status.”

Newt has improved in the polls but his so called “front runner status” is based on commentary by the MSM. He has not won any primaries. He hasn't gotten any votes.

I will vote for Newt over Obama any day. However, when he was Speaker of the House Newt was in a great position with great ideas and accomplishments and he self destructed because of his ego.
