Here comes Newt!

The Hill ^ | February 16, 2007 | Dick Morris

[PDR]

I suspect this will generate considerable comment.... and I hope it does.

[Senator Goldwater]

Newt's a brilliant man.

Which is why the left considers him evil. In their eyes, conservatives are either dumb or evil.

[devane617]

Newt 2008. Nuff said.

[marvlus]

I'll pick Newt over McCain or Giuliani.

[tcostell]

Can you imagine the additions to the SCOTUS that we would get with Newt at the helm?

Then it would just be a matter of getting enough incriminating photos of leading Dems to get them approved.

[Founding Father]

...racist refusal to vote for a Mormon...

I guess the toe sucker doesn't realize that Mormans are not a race.

[DungeonMaster]

I'll pick Newt over McCain or Giuliani.

Definitely. I can't imagine who wouldn't.

[DKNY]

Just my opinion but I think Newt is vying for the Vice Presidency, and being a big Newt fan it is something I would like to see.

[mainepatsfan]

I'd love to see it. I just have a hard time picturing how he can overcome the picture the MSM painted of him while he was speaker.

GOP Candidates' Squabbling Is 'Dumb,' Gingrich Says

Excerpt:
"Mr. Gingrich also said candidates shouldn't spend two years running for president. For his part, the former congressman said he would decide by September whether to launch his own White House bid and join the crowded field."

"...by September..."

[PDR]

ping.

[demkicker]

I love Newt AND Duncan Hunter.... I'd be happy with either, but I fear the DBM/MSM will dredge up the past and pound away at Newt and destroy him again like they did Allen.

[PDR]

if one hates Jews or Catholics because of their faith it is, correctly in my view, defined as racism... so I think Morris is correct, at least as a matetr of language.

[Mark Felton]

I like Newt and would vote for him, but he doesn't have a chance of winning the Presidency. The media can too easily rally public hatred against the guy. His unfavorable ratings will be over 40% and that is too large to overcome.

The guy that will win presidency is one who has low unfavorables ( a milk toast, who is passive and uncontroversial and does not appear too Christian, not too intellectual).

Newt is too smart. The public hate intellectuals.
He is too combative, they hate people who will fight for what is right.

He is too conservative, and will be rbanded a right wing zealot which is worse than being branded a homosexual zealot.

[cripplecreek]

I worry that Newt will bring out democrat voters in force. I think he would better serve us by endorsing someone like Hunter.

[rockinqsranch]

It's a wait and see for now isn't it. September seems to be the month when allegedly Newt and Gore are supposed to announce decisions.

BTW this was posted already on the 13th with many responses.

Run Newt, Run!!

[sheana]

Well, Hillary is the Democratic frontrunner....and if she was an ordinary citizen would be or would have done jail time. I don't think Newt's speaker period is even close to that. And I truly believe in Clinton-Bush fatigue. We need a break from both families.

[familyop]

"I'd love to see it. I just have a hard time picturing how he can overcome the picture the MSM painted of him while he was speaker."

That's easy. He'll do it by way of the short attention spans and quick tendency toward boredom of most people in our nation today. The media lefties will have to start all over again with a new propaganda campaign against him. And we probably shouldn't make it a point to avoid candidates who touch the nerves of media people and their left/liberal sponsors.

If Newt's running, he'd better get it from the beginning and not listen to the likes of Dick Morris.
