“But I think in terms of practical, deep understanding of America that we just operate in two different worlds, we’ve had two different career tracks,”

And therein where lays my problem with Newt besides the personal bag there's the fact that he is at heart a career politician. Newt is to connected with those who have cause many of our problem. Newt is a heart a inside the belt way career politician. You can count on him when the chips are down to do the politically expedient thing and that's not what we need.

How else do you explain

Well I would expect to see photos of any congressmen with other congressmen...they do after alll work together...usually.

The fact he has those connections is a plus... for there will be no time to waste to learn how to navigate thru the politicians, who they are where they stand etc...most of all “HOW they play... in the Washington maze...that is to our advantage.

Newt will do whatever he has to to get done what he wants done...even if that means give on smaller issues in order to drive home the big issues....and he knows HOW to get those who resist to bend.

Were are nation healthy I would consider an “Unknown”...but it’s not and there simply isn’t going to be time in a learning curve....if Cain were to get it I am pretty confident Newt would lead the way...rather like Chenney did Bush....not seen as much as his voice was frequently heard and it mattered...so would Newt’s...as VP...no way would he be a Biden Idiot...never happen.
