Several times I have seen the comment that Newt lost his nerve at the crucial point in the impeachment proceedings.

How stupid.

Newt realized that between Clinton and Al Gore, we had better leave it at Clinton.

Time has certainly proved that to be the right decision.

we had better leave it at Clinton.
There is no question, in hindsight, we were better off leaving Clinton in office. Al Gore would have been re-elected in 2000. Better to suffer the lesser evil...

We would have never gotten 2/3 of the Senate. Especially with Arlen Spectors 'Not Proven' verdict. We did get 51 however, if memory serves me right. So we can always say a majority voted against Clinton. We stuck to our principles, the left did not. Oh, wait a minute. Maybe they did stick to their principles.
