>>I don't think Gingrich ever did recognize the similarities between himself and Clinton: his arrogance led him time and again to act as if he could beat Clinton at his own game.<<

I've thought a lot myself about this comparison betweent the two of them...the TWO smartest kids in the class.

But Clinton was a master in his "people skills," however much we here despise him and think him phony. His act sold well enough to make him a triumphant politician.

Newt, by contrast, has a need to show off which completely swamps any instincts he has as a politican and leader. Such a waste for our side.
