Newt plans very, very, very important speech

There are a lot of Newt-haters here, but..... It is going to come down to Romney, Perry, and Newt. We need to look at each of their visions for the future of the country. The media WANTS Romney to win. Don't buy into the "unelectable" tag them media has placed on Newt. If Romney is electable with Romneycare, then Gingrich is electable.

I anticipate this new Contract with America will be nothing short of awesome.

I never thought I’d be saying this because I am not a Newt fan, but compared to Perry, Romney and Bachmann, he actually is starting to look better (not great, just better).

[sodpoodle]

I expect he will deliver a stem-winder and then withdraw. One can only hope he blesses the right candidate to follow his policies & procedures manual.

Newt knows how stuff works. Brains bigger than his britches. Too bad his name wasn’t Newt Kennedy & have the media protecting him.

[Tex-Con-Man]

The often rumored, but rarely actually seen, Newt cheerleader.

Good luck to you. Decide on a second choice...you’ll need it.

[ZULU]

The MORE I saw of Gingrich tearing apart Chris Wallace and those other media creeps in the debates, the better I liked him.

Like you, I've no doubt.

Problem is, Newt isn't the man to make it happen. He's an idea guy. Administration isn't his strength; nor is single-minded focus and attention span.

A week after the speech, he'll be chasing another chimera.

I'd want him in any GOP President's "kitchen cabinet", but I wouldn't trust him to run a Cabinet department.

[Servant of the Cross]

I have bashed Newt many times here (deservedly so) for sitting on the couch with Nan and his foray into Scozzafavalalaland. What is his deal with losing his mind around women?

That said, I have loved him at every single debate. He is articulate, wicked fast-on-his-feet and historically brilliant. He attacks the Libs effortlessly and not his fellow candidates. I'd like to see him as VP on the ultimate ticket, if only to see him debate Slo Joe.

[Free Vulcan]

If anyone can do it, it’s Newt.

[Danae]

Benjamin Franklin was also a great idea man, and he served this nation phenomenally well as such. Newt is much the same, he is a fabulous idea man, but he should stick with what his strength is. Running for office isn't really one of those strengths.

That being said, he is 10,000 times more qualified than Obama ever was in his most ambitious dreams.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

I’m no longer thrilled with any of our choices, so anything he has to say can only increase his chances for my support.

I must admit Jim Demint and Sarah are my choices.

[JudyinCanada]

I enjoy listening to Newt, but don’t know if people would vote for him. He may not be able to defeat Obama.

I wish I could hear more from Rick Santorum, but he rarely gets to say much. He seems like a decent guy.

It’s hard for me to watch Newt in a debate and NOT write a check. If his numbers continue to creep up, watch the donations start to pick up - and when that happens, Mitt and Rick better watch out.

[Newfy]

I’ve always considered Newt the smartest politician around. Granted he’s made some bad gaffes but nothing that can’t be overlooked IMO or keep him from being the GOP nominee.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Three times, sorry. That’s what happens when I try to post from my iPad .

[sam_paine]

It “will be 10 times deeper and more comprehensive than 1994,”

19,940!

[Rightly Biased]

three “Very’s

I bet it ain’t that important.

or there would have been 4

[GatorGirl]

Newt has the right idea but he’s just not Presidential sorry to say.

I’d love to see him as Cain’s VP but they’re both Georgia boys so that won’t fly.
:-)

[Rightly Biased]

Oh I thought they went with the “Very’s”
