If Newt became president, there is no way to know which Newt would govern...

Does his laid out agenda not speak for itself?

None if it will matter without a Republican congress since all repeals and new legislation necessarily begins there. That's why he asks people to be "with him, not for him" because it'll be a hard fought struggle, not something a president can do by fiat.

Will he be, at times, mercurial and frustrating? You betcha. Anyone would be. He could be a very good president or he could be unfocused, aimless and pivot so much he wears out his staff. Romney would be feckless, Newt's at least shown to be a fighter.

Ultimately I'm still of a mind to believe Obama wins reelection regardless of the GOP nominee.

One thing not being said here. Newt has not said this
either...he is now a convert to catholic religion...and
I am catholic, Xavier U., Cincy. Can his conversion be
a plus or minus....I think it would be an asset for his
many approaches to the complexities of government....so,
what say you????

No, not when you combine it with his history of flip-flops and surrenders and tone-deaf political maneuvers.

The question is: what are his core beliefs that he will not surrender. Other than believing that he should lead, I'm not sure he has any.

It likely screams a lie!

As speaker he feigned conservatism, all the while using the power of the speaker to block the consrevative agenda.

If elected, we will almost certainly see a repeat from Noot
