LOL, he carried the last Clinton, he could carry this one too.

[Diogenesis]

Man?

How about Gov. Palin.

Conservative ... and their HEADS WILL EXPLODE.

[Sacajaweau]

Wow....what a chance...

[ExTexasRedhead]

I vote for Allen West for Speaker or Mark Levin.

[taildragger]

No Thank You.

Look at the what the vaulted revolutionaries he brought in with him and what they turned into. All our old hero's, you know, Boehner, Armey, Haley Barbour, to name a few.

We need someone who can go mano-e-mano against Obama wielding the power of the purse who has a warriors demeanor and cannot be accused of being a racist....

Col. Allen West is the Answer....

[Sans-Culotte]

Have I missed something? Is Newt in the House of Representatives? I thought he was an author and lecturer these days.

[gdani]

Newt In 2011 - “It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee.”

[Servant of the Cross]

Good Newt (Bad Newt?) Mr. Speaker ping ....

[Thorliveshere]

I’m still not letting it go with him sitting on that couch next Pelosi talking about “Climate Change”!!

Really, Newt??

[Logical me]

Nute or Palin would be the best choice for America. Nute would have the inside works of the House and remember he was the author of contract for America. Palin is an all American and one fantastic conservative.

[chuckles]

I would take Newt in a heartbeat. He's forgotten more idea's than Repubs even think about. How about cutting the pay of judges that won't judge right? Welfare Reform came from HIM! Contract for America, working for food stamps, upgrading gubmint computers out of Fortran into the future, and more. Do you realize there are computers today that no one can work on if they go down?

I don't have a single problem with Newt as speaker. The Dems are right about one thing, we shoot our wounded. Newt did great things and was thrown out. Pelosi is still waiting in the wings to pounce and the Dems will let her. When you find a mind like Newt's, you have to expect a flub now and then. No one is 100%.

[Lurkinanloomin]

No thanks, Newt.

You had your chance and failed.

You were bought off by the same people who own the GOPe.

[DoodleDawg]

The only way Newt would get 218 votes is if all the Democrats voted for him. Even then it’d be iffy.

[TomGuy]

Yeah and GWHB still has another term

If the GOP is going to go 1990s, go full.

[The last thing conservatives need is K-Street Gingrich. Pining for him as speaker is as out-of-date as many of the Dems pining for BJ vicariously through Hillary.]

[nitzy]

We don’t need a speaker as conservative as Col. West, Gov. Palin or Mark Levin as some here suggest.

Having a more moderate Republican would not be that bad AS LONG AS THEY INTEND TO WIN AND HAVE THE BACKBONE TO FIGHT.

Revoking funding for a criminal organization who is being investigate for hundreds of felonies involving selling baby body parts is not a “conservative” policy on par with shutting down the Dept of Education or the IRS. Not giving $100 Billion to Iran is not a “conservative” position comparable to installing a missile defense shield in Europe. These are very moderate positions we are talking about here.

The problem we have had over the past 4 years is not that our leaders were not conservative enough. It was that they were so weak and corrupted that they wouldn’t even stand up and fight for moderate, common sense issues that nearly everyone could support.

I don’t need someone who wants to go out an remake America overnight into a bastion of conservatism. I just want someone who thinks it is o.k. now and then to stop Obama and Harry Reid. I want someone who has the spine to draw a line in the sand and stick to it.

“ obviously no citizen could ever turn down that kind of challenge. This is why George Washington came out of retirement — because there are moments you can’t avoid.”

I see Newt is as humble as ever

[Yaelle]

That is one big cushy office that can be seen on a coin. Lots of great places Newt had awesome sex romps.
