If Newt jumped in, the conservs would flow to him. Still, could he win a national campaign? Yet, Rudy G could and with a VP , say like Newt, it would be a rout.
I consider myself a conservative and I wouldn't vote for Newt if he were running for dog catcher.
Newt made a formal announcement that he won't run. Read it on Town Hall.com.
Newt knows what kind of media blitz he would unleash if he runs.
I could never vote for Gingrich.
That would be the perfect ticket for the MSM . They would use Rudy and Newt's combined baggage to drive a wedge into the Republican ranks in an attempt to get the religious Conservatives to stay home , '06 repeat.
The MSM thinks that this formula will work again , and it will, if Rudy is the nominee .
I like Newt and could vote for Newt, but even Newt on the ticket would encourage me to vote for Rudy G. But, that's just me.
