Palin has hit the nail on the head. Corrupt politicians cannot lead, because they are corrupt. If you have skeletons, you are shackled. Gingrich is as corrupt as they come. Do I hear any supporters denying this here? So why is getting consideration? Gingrich’s mind is awash in “ideas” and “solutions” and to think that he wouldn’t want to “do” things when takes the reins of power is beyond imagination. He is the very defintion of a Republican progressive.

Can't say I'd go this far (yet) on Mr. Gingrich. But he certainly is everything you'd think of in a stereotypical politician and penultimate D.C. insider.

I've said I'll vote for the Newt if he becomes the nominee and I would be happy to see him as VP as well.

But, hey conservatives! What's your answer to this question, for example:

What, in your view, does it say about Gingrich's political instincts (his "gut" as opposed to "intellectual" understanding of conservatisms) that he did work for Freddie Mac?

Are you just brushing this off as having no meaning or what?

Does anyone want to answer the question as to why they think Gingrich’s work for Freddie Mac can be brushed off as saying nothing about his political instincts?
