Well, I'm just saying, Gingrich would be a good choice if it comes to that. We need good, smart people in positions of the government where they can make a difference, there's a lot of damage that has to be repaired. If we can pull this off, i.e., beat Obama (which I think will be very, very tough) then we need the best people we can get working to fix things. I don't what idiots who will screw around and squander whatever opportunity we have to make things right again. For all his faults, I don't see anyone else out there who has the smarts and ability to get things done that Gingrich has. I wish it were otherwise (i.e., we had the “perfect” candidate, smart, attractive, free of baggage, experienced and capable), but it doesn't seem to be the hand we've been dealt this time. So let's make the best of it, get the best people we can positioned to achieve the main goal: send Obama packing.

“I wish it were otherwise (i.e., we had the “perfect” candidate, smart, attractive, free of baggage, experienced and capable), but it doesn’t seem to be the hand we’ve been dealt”

I consider Newt Gingrich to be each of these and more, he is brilliant, he is attractive (maybe a little overweight) he has vast experience and is not only capable, but eager. The baggage thing, if you are concerned about his wives, don’t be. We have no idea what the inside of the two marriages were. The first one was doomed from the beginning, being a 17 yo high school student, seeing and marrying his 26 yo high school teacher at 19. Two children soon after but yet he finishes his education and goes on to become a congressman and speaker of the house. As far as I am concerned that is impressive. His second wife, all indications are she was a very difficult and vindictive person, they were separated for four years trying to work it out and during this time she was ruthless, yet he went back at a second attempt. His political baggage is practically nonexistent, considering the vast legislation he has worked with in his career. His remarkable takeover of the house and the list goes on. Newt Gingrich is perfect for this country at this historical time in history.
