Newt is back: How Gingrich vs. Obama became the GOP's dream matchup
The Baltimore Sun ^ | 11-17-2011 | Jonah Goldberg

He's baaack!

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is back in the saddle after falling off his horse at the starting line. At least according to one poll (Public Policy Polling), Mr. Gingrich is actually the GOP front-runner.

Many say it's simply Mr. Gingrich's turn to be the not-Mitt contender, now that Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Herman Cain have had their chances.

But that's not entirely fair. Speaker Gingrich has been relentlessly seducing GOP voters in the debates. Mitt Romney may have been winning on points and technicalities, but Mr. Gingrich has been consistently winning the crowds.

I want to see what Cain can do.

I'd like that too, but not necessarily in national training program in the corner office in DC.

He’s been a success at everything he’s done. He’s done well in the Navy, as a computer science. He’s done well as a businessman, he’s done well as a radio talk show host.

He’s done it all.

I would like to see what a self-made man outside of politics can do at the helm of America.

Newt is a GD liberal who balanced the GD budget four years in a row, reformed GD welfare despite a GD liberal president, and masterminded the first GD Republican takeover of Congress in decades.

Among other things.

He has also been staunchly GD pro-life his entire career, and helped write the GD Defense of Marriage Act.

Unlike Herman Romney or Mitt Cain.

He’s a F’ing progressive. I know it. You know it. And every GD person with two brain cells to rub together knows it.

Saying it isn’t so doesn’t make it go away.

F newt.. I will never vote for the son of a B.... And I’m positive that sentiment is shared by a vast majority of the activist conservative crowd. So good F’ing luck getting a ground game going M’er F’er...

No more rinos! Never again!

Nice mouth—I’ll bet mommy’s very proud. Why don’t you holler upstairs and ask her?
