YIKES!

SORRY! Paragraphs sure make for a nicer read...LOL!!

let me try this again....

Well-- in the '06 elections, the Dems went to the red states and recruited "conservatives" to run...yes- Dem conservatives..they are now called the "Blue Dog Democrats."

I am just giving you the facts here, so don't bite my head off-- Webb- as much as I don't like him- is actually more "conservative" than Mr "macaca." (sp)... just look at his record.. he was not really conservative...then he seemed to get a bit enamored with the attention and had to make that dang "macaca" comment... we have all been there...you grow up wishing you were the "popular" one.. the head cheerleader, or star quarterback...then suddenly one day you are at a party or gathering and look up and notice that you seem to have everyone's attention...you get excited, want to savor this moment, so you keep "performing"- trying to make the moment last as long as you can...savoring it....but, alas, you end up doing or saying something stupid.... anyway--

I think NEWT is the Republican answer to the Blue Dog Dems. The Washington political strategists are saying that a "RED/BLUE" race is unwinnable. They also notice that the "grandma" image is working...."I am a grandma, and my service and stands on the issues are about THEIR future. I am here ot fix things not for me, but for them." You can go to Newt's web site and see this.

Newt is talking about right and wrong, not right and left...It is his job to win the hearts and minds of the Conservatives frustrated with the Republicans that have abondoned the Contract with America and the registered Dem voters that think their leadership is too liberal, and of course the anti-Hillary crowd...I he can win their trust, in the end he will say- "(so-and-so) is not MY first choice a President, but for the future of our grandchildren, I will support (so-and-so/RINO/McCain) over Hillary for '08."

This is what bugs me about this strategy-- WHY are folks convinced that Newt can't win? Why do they think that McCain would have a better chance at beating Hillary than Newt? Can someone PLEASE explain this to me? I guess since I live in GA, Newt's home state, I am not aware of how the rest of the country sees Newt.....
