Brilliant as usual. Newt has been red hot all week...Looks like he may be running.

He absolutely should be in command...behind the scenes. But he should not run. Some lovable conservative politician should be the candidate and do whatever Newt says.

I thought that same thing during the last set of primaries.

I hope I haven't given the wrong impression regarding candidates. There are no 100% candidates and whomever we get will be the one we go with.

That's why its important to start supporting someone now other wise at the last minute be stuck with a Bush or Romney since they have a bunch of the prerequisites. I am surprised that Romney appears to be in the running again.

Many forget the key elements to running as we did last time. Money is huge, name recognition, likeability on and on party acceptability,lots of weird stuff to electing a candidate.Who can he appeal to what states,etc etc.No coincidence Marco or Jeb were(maybe still are) in the mix. Florida is huge these days. Money is so big if you get into a close primary and only a few states will decide who wins always look to the guys/guy with the fat pocketbook book,Romney a perfect example.

Then there is race,etc.Marco,Cruz how many Hispanics can they pick off? Almost never ending the variables of a potus candidate.

As some have noted Hillary may have a primary advantage since at this point it appears she may be the "guy" who gets the nod without a primary fight.

IF we have another prolonged battle their side is out gathering votes and fund raising while we are fighting one another never a good strategy.

When you really think about it Hillary can be out fund raising now while our side hasn't a clue.
