Newt can’t be serious, can he?
He’s just going to waste a ton of his, and his patrons, money.
It’s not unusual for an unlikley winner to enter the race in order to focus the discussion.
Newt is pretty good at that. He will never be POTUS but he can help focus the debate on substantive issues, forcing the press to stop talking about how buff, brilliant and bodacious the Obamas are.
