No, thank you.
Focus on Blackburn. Marsha that is.
No, it’s not, for several reasons
1)HE’S NOT IN CONGRESS. Think the Speaker doesn’t need to be a member? Think again, OF COURSE he or she does. It’s implicit. This is really the most bizarre political idea ever aside from letting state legislatures go back to choosing Senators. The House is never gonna consider it anyway. The Speaker WILL be someone who’s currently a remember of Congress. Believe that.
2)He’s yesterday’s news
3)Didn’t he endorse Obama or something?
When is someone gonna suggest Daffy Duck for Speaker? Everyone else is being mentioned.
How about Mickey Rooney? Oh, he died? So? If we can suggest non-members why not dead people?
I live in OK....and he his not the right choice.
Love Newt, but its that “WE”, that bugs me.
I've read every post here.
People think Watts would be find because he is black. Period.
People think he was a conservative Rep.
People here don't know history.
People here make statements that aren't even close to true...
Sigh......
In all fairness when the break was over Celesta came on to promote her latest book. O Really concluding the interview asked if she would object to moving to DC. It wee then that she Offered Newt would be going to DC to discuss and advice congress’s next possible steps r
Yes, and didn’t Colin Powell.
He says, family and business caused him to not run again.
He supports Rand Paul for POTUS.
Frankly....I couldn't play the Washington game. Maybe that was J.C.'s thing....
D.C. politics is slimy...Very much so..maybe he was sickened..and not going to play.
We will never know....
“Yes, and didn’t Colin Powell.”
Yes.

A Republican in King Obama’s court; J.C. Watts celebrates too
JANUARY 20, 2009 | 3:58 AM
The Times’ Michelle Maltais caught up with a real, live Republican on Monday night at the celebration of President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration today in Washington.
J.C. Watts, a former Republican congressman from Oklahoma, tells Michelle candidly that on Nov. 4 “the earth moved” with the election of Obama.
The future is hard to predict, he says, but the onetime college football star is hopeful that the past Washington tone of each political party being dedicated to the political destruction of the other will have an opportunity to change.
And he thinks Obama has the temperament to accomplish that. Check out Watts’ thoughts below in his own words.

I would rather believe he left for good reasons rather than bad. Till I am informed otherwise, that is what I am going to believe.
Fair enough..
If he voted for Obama it may be because he knew all about McCain, up close
