Either would be very astute.
I like them both but this job was made for NEWT. We are in a war and need someone who has proven results... that would be NEWT.
He is the man....
... have the ability to regenerate limbs, eyes, spinal cords, hearts, intestines, and upper and lower jaws, and political careers.
ping!
Some different strengths. Too bad they can’t team up some way, but if I can just have one I think we need a Newtonian strategist. We also need someone like Steele to inspire and implement across the country. Again, too bad if they can’t find a way to work together.
Yes, make Steele his right hand man. Newt is the bomb.
I like both of them and would definitely be happy with either one as RNC chair.
Newt WAS good. Aside from his personal issues, he went soft on Conservatism at one time. We don’t need people who go wobbly.
No global warming kool-aid drinkers ever AGAIN!!!!!
I hope it doesnt get ugly. Both are worthy of the position
Steele is smart, personable, African-American; Gingrich is smart, smarmy, Caucasian. Steele would have more credibility in articulating an alternative to Obama-doctrine.
Steele is a good man. I’ve met him several times. I don’t think he’s in Gingrich’s league in terms of vision and leadership. What we need now is leadership, vision, and strategy. Not to say that Steele wouldn’t be up to the job, but I think Gingrich would do a much better job.
The media might like Steele better, but pleasing the media got us McCain, and look how far that got the party.
And for all of those who say “Gingrich believes in global warming”, Steele is anti-capital punishment. So neither of them is perfect.
Please, Newt is there for us... 99.95% of the time

This is a tough one. Don’t have doubts about Lt. Gov. Steele’s conservatism but he’s dull as corn flakes. Speaker Gingrich has the ideas but his flirtations with Hillary and Dirty Nan should bother rock ribbed conservatives.
he is fresh, with some new ideas i think...
and he understands that the common perception that the Republican party is made up of only rich wrinkly white men needs to be attacked..sorry for those who don't agree but it is true.
I don't know if Newt has it in him, and I know little about Steele.
You’re right - Newt’s the one.
