Newt is every Congress persons worst nightmare. He knows how the place runs and he knows how to get things done there.
It will be very hard to snow President Gingrich when he takes over the Oval Office.
"And as for Gingrichs Republican colleagues, whom the Editors applaud for ejecting him from the speakership, no one can deny that they had their reasons. But is there not another side of that story worth telling?
In the seven years they controlled Congress after Gingrich left, didnt these esteemed colleagues have something of a weakness for half-baked (and not especially conservative) ideas? Under a Republican president, they added over $3 trillion to the federal deficit, shunned conservative policy in favor of Beltway influence-peddling, and so damaged the GOP brand that we ended up, first, with an electoral rout that lost the majority Gingrich had worked years to forge, and then, with Obama.
How much should I really care that Newts fabulous colleagues think his reemergence would be a disaster for Republicans?
Lest these characters forget, it is the Tea Party and President Obamas radicalism that have put them back in the saddle 2010 was not a merit promotion; they were the only alternative in town."
