Newt. The right loves Newt, just as the left loves Clinton. Newt's about six times smarter than Bill Clinton, but lacks the former president's oleaginous charisma. Could he win? Never. And probably just as well. President Newt would respond to a terrorist attack with a brilliant plan — radical, simple, old wisdom and dazzling new thinking in a brilliant synthesis. Unfortunately, it would involve time travel or orbital space lasers.

While he was the “Republican Mayor” of New York City he appointed more than 60 men and women to the Civil, Criminal, and Family Court benchs. In all of those judicial appointment not one of them was a Republican.

All of his judical appointments were either registered Liberals or registered Democrats. As the “Republican Mayor” he had appointment power over more than 70 full commissioners in more than 50 City agencies, yet at no time during his administration did REPUBLICANS account for more than 10% of those appointments.

He even appointed Chuck Schumers wife as the City’s Department of Transportation Commissioner.

“And even as we grieve for those who lost their lives, and our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones, we may be able to find some sort of meaning in this tragedy by using it as a catalyst to revive national gun control efforts.”

Thanks for the fun article...but I will be leaving the thread now...

I love Newt, but that's damn funny.

Oddly enough, twice as many FReepers support Newt than Giuliani.

NOT being for Newt says more about Quidnunc than about Newt..
Its Newts time, by default.. There are simply no republicans that can energize the party.. ALL other candidates will fracture the party, further.. ALL of them..

No northeast republican is worthy of the Presidency.. NONE..
Any that try will be defeated.. Newt has sinned, true..
But American republicans will forgive him, the others don't have the gravitas..

Its simply, NEWT or Hillary... that simple..

[A_perfect_lady]

Voters are more flexible and forgiving than you might expect.

Well, I don't know if I'm flexible or forgiving, but I'm not an idiot, and if it comes down to Rudy or Hilary...

And none of the objections obscure the central appeal of the Rudy candidacy: He'll nuke 'em if he has to.

And there you have it. Frankly, it SHOULD be his motto. Heck, I'd buy that bumper sticker:

RUDY: HE'LL NUKE 'EM IF HE HAS TO!

Yeah, I like it.

I don't get why so many conservatives are attracted to Giuliani. Is our bench THAT pathetically shallow?

[Mercat]

I love Newt. He's the smartest person in the field but he absolutely has no charisma and can't shed his baggage. I don't know why. I love to listen to the man but I know that he can't win so why waste the energy.

James Lileks likes Fred Thompson especially as a VP to Rudy.. Interesting.....

""Fred Thompson hasn't declared, but should. He has been waging a stealth campaign simply by appearing as a guest host for Paul Harvey. He sounds like a man with his boots on the desk and a star on his chest. As a veep, he would make John Edwards look like Peter Pan. For the debate, Edwards might as well show up in green tights.""

No, here is Rudy's campaign slogan - and I'm not being facetious. "Whether in a suit or a dress, don't mess with Rudy!"

"...the former president's oleaginous charisma."

LOL!

What a very literate way to say "oily!"

Oops, wait a minute - is it OK to say "literate?"

Will that get me in trouble with the chip-on-shoulder crowd, the way it did the President when he called someone "articulate?"

(When he could have simply called him "oleaginous" and everyone would presumably been happy)

Lileks Ping!
If you'd like to be added or removed, just drop me a line...

[Rummyfan]

After all, it's just a party of cousin-marrying yahoos who'd sooner shoot up Planned Parenthood than vote for one of those fish-on-Friday types. Right?

Lileks accurately summarizes the MSM view of GOP voters!
