I would welcome his entry into the race. He is such a lightning rod that the MSM could never resist spending way too much time trying to destroy him and every ounce of effort they devote to him is an ounce that won’t be available for the other candidates.

I would also welcome him on the basis of his intelligence and familiarity with today’s challenges.

I would hasten to add though that personally I am fond enough of him to wish for his sake that he would stay out of the race. I have always liked him and enjoyed his outlook on all things political.

He would certainly add to the excitement of the race!

The problem with Newt is that 75% of what he says sounds great. But the other 25% sounds idiotic to the tenth power.

BTW, Pat Buchanon is the same way only his percentages are reversed from Newt's.

I agree completely. Well stated. It’d be quite interesting to have him in this and he’d take a few dem candidates down with him in the end.

VERY well put.

I happen to be another that would welcome his presence/presents. I feel it would be a gift to America if he were in the primaries debating the issues. It would bring the "GOP game" up about twelve notches. We would have a stellar group to choose from, and America would finally get a chance to hear WHY the GOP is the better choice, because as you say, Newt would bring attention to the mix....as would Thompson, I might add.

God Bless 'em all for caring enough to try. I surely wouldn't want the job. I can't take FIVE minutes of CNN, let alone be nice to Dems on a regular basis....that doesn't account for all the times I'd have to be civil to those that clearly don't get it on the WOT. That really fries my cakes, and the fact that these inept voters have a voice...sometimes...it's just too much!
