With all his baggage Newt would nevertheless be light-years more preferable than McCarthy in the speakership.

As an added bonus, if Gingrich were to accept the speakership (which will not be offered this is pure speculation), that acceptance would token a commitment to put a stop to Obama's depredations.

I was a Constituent of Newt - he was my congressman during his entire tenure in the House.

I heard him say in his own words (at the time of the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal) “I’ll hold President Clinton responsible for his actions, ethically, morally and legally......[paraphrased]”

It was shortly thereafter that his “baggage” ended up around his ankles (as in pants-around) with his now-wife Callista of whom he dotingly speaks every chance he gets. We all know the outcome of that.

Frankly, I could think of one or more “symbolic” candidates myself.

Jim Jordan, from the district just north of me, is by far the most solid Congressman in DC.
