Coulter isn’t running for president; Newt is. Bombastic doesn’t work except for Democrats. He can’t keep control of his mouth and his marital history suggests that isn’t the only thing he can’t keep control of.

I remember quite well when he was Speaker. He was one of the most unpopular political figures in America. He was on the cover of Time or Newsweek as the “Grinch who Stole Christmas.” He lost the public opinion war with Clinton during the government shutdown.

She’s right. He’s an unpleasant, self-important, bombastic windbag. Now that he’s facing some criticism, the nasty Newt is emerging. Expect to see more of it. That kind of personality doesn’t win the White House.

You are Wrong. Americans love to forgive a genuine contrite person acknowledging their past indiscretions as Newt has. He is almost 70 years old and still sharp as a tack. Sure he's made personal mistakes... and he's acknowledged his mistakes and sought forgiveness. If you don't think the American people will embrace his pursuit of public forgiveness, you are mistaken.

Newt has a brilliant mind, and once again you are wrong to suggest he doesn't have control over his mouth...Of course he has control over his mouth. Newt doesn't really need a Karl Rove type of strategist because he out strategies everyone in the room... with humility.

Your suggestion that the negative side of Newt is emerging, along with Coulter is a LIE. Expect to see more of it? Do you even understand who Newt is? Newt is mature and politically savvy. Libs continue to try and paint Newt has some hot head, yet they forget he was never a hot head. A productive citizen yes, but never a hot head. As much as libs wish he was a hot head, he continues to gain support because he is the smartest and most articulate guy in the room and Ann Coulter needs to shut it.

I remember him well also. He is the Algore of the right. Ann's criticism of him is spot on.
