Newt was only another piece of confetti in the wind tunnel that Sarah Palin’s declining to run created.
Yea more or less. If she had no intention of running I wish she had announced it a lot earlier. The GOP had a couple of great conservative contenders that might have been persuaded to run. Newt this time around? I look back to when Fred ran rest election. McCain his buddy stepped up and Fred like the committee hearings suddenly lost interest in it. It's as if some are asked by the party to run to be place holders for someone else so too speak.
Newt could have done it but like I said he had a lot to prove first to re earn trust. Holding a national office again at least one term should have been his first step before a presidential bid.
