Newt had his chance. He has too much negative baggage and no matter when/if he tries again, it will sink him.

Yes. No matter what the next GOP candidate better be squeaky clean, because no matter how tiny the skeleton in the closet, the MSM will make it huge.
Romney would have been a much better POTUS than Obama though.
Hell, I'd take Jerry Ford or Nelson Rockefeller over Obama.
At least their goal wasn't to destroy the USA.

Newt’s baggage probably pales in comparison to the baggage BO had hidden from the voting public by the MSM. Newt would have eviscerated BO in the debates, but then the MSM would have painted NEWT as some sort of radical, right wing extremist. but at least, i believe, that Newt wouldn’t have hesitated to respond to the MSM attacks. Romney was too vulnerable because of his self doubt, thinking he could never do better than his idolized dad.
consider how America has done with those presidents who have had missing fathers?

I have to agree with you 100%. It seems that a lot here wanted Newt. But I'd like to ask everyone, who would they have voted for if they knew what Obama would do to this country in his second term? IMO, I don't see anyone but liberals winning until the Republicans & Tea Party can sit at a table and come together. I have supported many candidates but I've let the RNC & the Tea Party know that I will NOT support anyone until they can agree to disagree on several issues.
