I don’t think I want to bet the farm on Mr. RINO. He was at 1 time a conservative, but he then started going to the cocktail parties over in Great Falls, Va and he changed.

That’s not what she’s supposed to be screaming, Salamander. You must be doing something wrong.

“He was Winston Churchill.”
Now that’s funny.

I don’t know that Hunter didn’t want it. I didn’t have that sense, anyway.

The problem Hunter and others like him have is that the media won’t give them the time of day for exposure. They has their choices and those are the ones they focus on which makes it nearly impossible for alternative candidates to be seen and heard by voters.

We need to forget about 2012. We need leaders who are willing to take off the gloves and start speaking out against the Media and the elites every day. The Republicans are finished if they don’t stop shunning the Tea Party and what they stand for and pull off a BIG victory in November.

If the republicans select Newt as their candidate in 2012 then I'll know for sure that the republican party is just an arm of the democrat party because their real candidate will be Obama.

Churchill's time came. Could Newt Gingrich's time be coming?

The short answer is no. Newt has too much personal baggage and too many RINO moments on positions that lack common sense and a basic understanding of science.

Newt has had his faults and foibles...

I think that is what the Brits like to call "an understatement"

Any politician whose name I could recognize ten years ago is part of the problem in my book. And if I could recognize their name five years ago they’re highly suspect.

Newt does an infinitely better job for the good guys as a commentator. 'Flawed' doesn't begin to describe some of his mistakes or the way he handled them and real power when he had it.

He is a decent historian. He should stick to explaining what is wrong with liberalism using his knowledge of history and his talent as a raconteur to help the cause.

As a revolutionary he was good at framing the debate. He just isn't a good 'post revolution' leader. His own caucus rebelled over Newt's leadership when he was Speaker.

Then some of his actions and comments after he left office have been utterly bizarre. I think I'd feel about as fine about Newt getting the nod as I did about the McCain nomination.

Good analysis, although I think Minnesota flipping just like that is a stretch. Wisconsin maybe.

I couldn’t agree more. Newt would DESTROY Obama in head-to-head debates, and for that alone, I’d love to see it.

Newt has a history of folding like a cheap suitcase during debates...

Of course Obama runs again—and a Gingrich-prescribing political doctor should be sued for malpractice!
