I am not one of the "conservatives" that eat their own. Newt will be a welcome addition to the field. Chances of winning are low, but he will bring conservatives ideals to the process.
"I think unless a Republican who is nominated is committed to fundamental change in Washington they will certainly lose the election," he said." Fundamental change is what the country is in dire need of. I doubt however any President will be able to change what is happening in D.C.. And that is really sad for the Republic.
The MSM would love to beat him up again.
Not a prayer in Hades.
You're very wrong about that.
Hitlery has never been divorced, so she is *better* than Newt.
Actually Newt has been divorced *twice*, so Hitlery is really two times better.

Exactly. Plus, he will just split the conservative vote even more and usher in Rudy. We need to choose the one conservative who can actually beat Rudy and the dems and put our support behind him. Hint, hint, hint, ——>Mitt Romney (or Fred - 2nd choice).
I’ve always supported Newt and I always will. The naysayers on this topic seem to forget that of the crop of Republicans that is already running, Newt, as a conservative, trumps them all, especially the so-called front-runners. Rudy is a RINO. Mitt is a flip-floper. McCane is our Howard Dean. Ron Paul has cast his lot with the surrender monkeys. Duncan and Newt are actually conservatives - always were, always will be - and of the two, Newt has a chance of being recognized.
That he can actually communicate with someone like a Kerry or a Kennedy or a Clinton and reach compromise for the sake of discussion (and that’s all it was for Bog’s sake!) rather than resorting to name-calling and childishness is an asset in politics, not a liability. It’s called diplomacy and its been proven to work whenever people of opposing views actually talk rather than rejecting a premise out of hand and stubbornly stonewalling.
Imho, the same Republicans who handed Pelosi and Reid their jobs in the last election are determined to hand the White House to Hillary in the next one.
In the case of Newt, I don't think it's about brains, but ego.
I hope he runs because his depth of knowledge, both governmental and historical, and clear-eyed proposals will greatly energize and shape the debates...I don’t see him winning any primaries so what’s the worry?
It's worse than that. He's an ecotard.
Like this?
LOL
McCain’s are closer.
