Nice to think so but Newt melted like a sack of butter when Clinton challenged him with a Gov't shut-down.

When he's under real pressure I'm afraid he won't be the lion everyone is hoping for.

And when he was challenged for his leadership position in the House, he quit.

I remember that time. Everyone was saying "Why don't the Republicans fight back?". They were fighting back, the MSM just refused to let them get their message to the public. I remember watching Newt make a speech on CSPAN, and thinking, if only the American people would see this, we would win!

The times have changed now. We have a small, but growing new media that is not part of the Progressive MSM. We can get our message out if we have a little time to do it. The MSM has lost much of what credibility it had getting President Obama elected, and most of the electorate knows it.

There’s only so much you can do when your Republican caucus is wilting like a wet fig leaf.

Remember as well, Clinton had America mesmerized. The polls were HEAVILY against Gingrich & the shut down. Newt couldn’t put it to a vote cause his own side would have voted against it. Not quite melting like a sack of butter.
