Gingrich is a clever man and a brilliant thinktank on conservative policies. However I doubt voters would see past his personal baggage and elect him as President.
"The fundraiser was organized on behalf of VCAP by Erin DeLullo, who most recently worked on Ken Blackwell’s campaign for governor of Ohio."
This person in my opinion did a bad job.
Ken Blackwell's agenda was allowed to be 'tarred and feathered' by the media. I am really disappointed he was allowed to be so vilified.
Is Reganomics dead?
Gingrich: "ROVE...YOU MAGNIFICANTLY STUPID BASTARD!"
In many ways -- particularly morally -- Gingrich proved himself the equal of Bill Clinton ... except politically, in which arena he proved to be an empty suit who was incapable of putting his words into action. Gingrich's political stupidity played a large role in getting Clinton re-elected in '96.
Even if there's truth to some of what he says, I can't help but seeing it mostly as a self-serving attempt by Gingrich to try to stake out a niche in the runup to the 2008 presidential race.
You can always depend on McCain and Gingrich to badmouth the Republicans as though they were Democrats.
Two peas in pod.
Earth to Newt: New Orleans was most probably in no way effected by FEMA. It is its own private hell and will remain so. Look at Mississippi - thriving and doing their best. I know Newt is smart and all, but is there any chance he will just go away? Just move somewhere in Illinois and shut up? Any chance?
He's not doing his presidential aspirations any good with his actions lately and I for one still haven't forgotten his indiscretions in the past. Maybe he's just trying for a MSNBC show.
If he announced as a presidential candidate the bombs would be thrown AT him by the media.
But, the Bolshecrats cite a not robust enough FEMA as the reason New Orleans has not recovered. And, those are the people in charge now. Why work if government is going to throw money at you to not. The GOP will not recover. The Bolshecrats should have been destroyed, but, conservatives instead of working within the party, i.e. thru the primary system, decided to work from outside and destroyed themselves instead. I am sorry, but, you will have to move to moderation to recover.
Another "conservative", who like Newt, can't seem to keep it in his pants.
Newt is an intellectual and Party leader. He is an innovator and a creative thinker.
These facts do not however translate into Presidential material.
Why? He is not a politician in the mold of the post modern age definition of the word. He has neither the magnetism of Reagan (really one of a kind in many ways) nor the shrewd manipulativeness of Clinton.

I love Newt but unfortunately he has been demonized by the media and cannnot win. McCain is a sure winner. He can capture independents and the vast moderate middle. If you can't win then its foolish to run. Politics and running for office is about winning. Only McCain can save this country from Hillary and outright socialism.
Has Newt opined on that question yet?
Tough talk but all true. It seems like the Bush Administration should be done licking their wounds and should begin to try to fight on new fronts.
Newt is definitely a voice that resonates but I don't know if he should be the '08 pick.
I wish that all the old washed up politico's in this country would just shut up.
Newt is a eff'en genius.
Newt is starting to get REALLY annoying. He's revealing himself to be an ankle-biter and nothing more.
I was considering supporting him, but he has lost the deal.
I too see the same thing. I see a GOP Party extremely marginalized in the future....
