I hope for a Newt-Condi ticket to combat the Hildabeast-Osama ticket.
Bump!
Newt seems like a good candidate, but I fear he would seem like a has been to most people...
Forget Newt. Support Hunter.
This will be interesting!
Newt would lose the election in a landslide. That's unfortunate, because he by far has the best positions on the issues, of all the presidential candidates.
Newt has too much baggage.
He led the impeachment of x42, but who ended up turning in a resignation? It wasn't Bill Clinton.
Newt basically walked away from his House seat. He didn't even exhibit enough character to resign.
That, plus his personal marital problems, makes him a godsend -- for Hillary Clinton.
If Newt is the best the GOP can offer, the GOP is in deep trouble for the next quarter century, at least.
Newt in 08 = Dole in 96 [except that Dole was honorable, a man of character, a war hero, and a Senator with a distinguished record of service -- and he lost to Bill Clinton].
He's running. He just won't say it yet.
Neutered Newt for Prez? No! No! No!
Jean, at least Newt is a real Republican.
I so worry about his friendship with Mrs. Clinton though.
H'mmmmm, Let me be the first to say: "Draft Beer Not Newt".
Actually he is the person I'd most like to see elected president.
Newt can't win for the same reason that Hillary won't win -- too much baggage. Voters want a new choice, not a has-been.
I'm afraid Newt cannot win the Presidency in 2008 -- he's too polarizing. However, I'd like to see him run in order to publicize his ideas. He is a very good ideas man.
Ping
The problem, though, is that when Newt talks, he talks way too much.
Also he has too much personal baggage.

Like I am running a "Draft Nader" campaign.
But not because I think that he'll win, quite the opposite.
Let's have a full field of GOP candidates BUMP TO THE TOP
so that all the good ideas can be brought forth and debated and all the lousy ideas can be refuted!
Newt's got my vote.
Newt would be my first choice. I'd like to see some reliable polling numbers to see how he'd match up vs various Rat candidates, though.
But I think he's making a big mistake by putting off a decision to go forward. Other candidates are lining up the experienced campaign workers and the big money donors.
I think it's ridiculous that campaigns are starting earlier and earlier. JFK didn't announce until January, 1960.
