Newt was the best thing about the 1990s, I will never forget 1994. The left was swallowing us up completely, but we actually ended up making gains during what could have been the end times for conservatism.

Almost 2 decades later, I will be hoping that a much older, wiser Gingrich can succeed in replacing Barack Hussein Obama as President.

That would be really nice but his comment about Ryan's plan being "social engineering" and his posture on global warming when most of the right knew it was a scam make me think the "wiser" thing may not be valid.

Granted, people make mistakes and Gingrich is known to apologize for his. But I'd rather have a person who had these fairly large issues correct in the first place. Shouldn't a really wise person have known about warming and not spoken out in favor of Federal health mandates? And he still comes out with odd ideas (his recent stance in favor of a federal adoption bureaucracy).

I will vote for Gingrich is he gets the nomination, but I have to tell you his speaking skills aren't enough to make me think he would make a steady President.
