One thing we cannot deny is that he took this nation by storm with the Contract With America back in 1994.
I fully expect him to reintroduce something like it this year and have house and senate candidates pledge to complete the items on the contract if elected to a majority.
Clinton was able to use the economy as the strength of his platform two times (i.e., “it's the economy, stupid”). We are worse off now than we were four years ago, so Newt can simply steal the economic agenda from Obama and trounce him with it.
If Newt really pushes for lower taxes, cutting waste and balancing the budget, we will win this thing running away. Another thing I want to see is a pledge to stop adding pork, and the introduction of a constitutional amendment to that same effect. Sure, he has some areas that some don't like, but he is an amazing organizer, and will get us out of this mess.
(i.e., it’s the economy, stupid).
And don’t forget their slogan: “Character doesn’t matter”
