He is angling for VP. I'd vote for the man, but then again I believe

No. He'd be a great president, so it would be cool. But no way in

Won't happen. Yes, I know Nixon pulled it off, but he had a bitterly
divided Democratic party in his favor. I don't see a serious challenge

I'm saying that (IMO at least) you can depend on Hillary doing what
she says she's going to do.
Newt the Butt-Weasel? He'll tell you anything you want to hear to get

In all seriousness, this is why Gingrich can't win. He has instant
negative name recognition. You probably couldn't tell me anything
specific about him that is objectionable without googling. You hate
him because he's a conservative.

===Forgive me if you see this thrice, Google's acting up==
I don't like the guy, and think he's unelectable, but he'll bring
intellectual rigor tot he Republican nomination process. For sure he
has a brilliant mind, I can't imagine him letting any of them get away
with platitudes, and he'll call someone like Romney out devastatingly.
I think he'll be an excellent sharpener for whoever does get the
nomination.

It bears repeating, whoever they put up has to LOOK and SOUND "nice"
and "reasonable" when coming up against Obama. Conservatives will
complain that that means electing a RINO, but you dont' have to elect
a RINO. Someone like Rep. Cantor, Gov. McConnell or Sen. Thune are
examples of that (not saying they'll run, just using them as
examples.)

I didn't have to google to know that he served divorce papers on his
while while she was on her cancer deathbed, or that there were some
questionable things with the finances of his PAC that led to his
resignation. The Republicans didn't make him resign as speaker
because he was a good guy, d00d. .

btw, Republicans don't like him that much either. Or at least not as
much they like their other choices. Even Tea Party supporters prefer
Romney over him, ouch:

I sure can. He divorced his first wife while she was in the hospital
recovering from cancer surgery. He then married his mistress. Who he
then divorced in order to marry a staffer he'd been sleeping with
DURING the Lewinsky scandal. He apparently has firm ideas about what
the "wife of a President" ought to look like and keeps "trading up" to
a newer model. I dislike him because he's a scumbag; he's not a
conservative. Real conservatives actually believe what they say about
family values. Fake-ass conservatives like Gingrich are simply in it
for the power.
Tom Enright
He would be Clintonesque. A bad person but not necessarily a bad
president.
-Tom Enright
xyzzy
If he did become President, I could see him being a Republican
Clinton. But his lack of the personal warmth or empathy (real or fake,
depending on your view of the man) that helped get Clinton elected is
a handicap to Gingrich being elected.
Plus Clinton benefited significantly in 1992 from being a relatively
fresh face on the national scene, an advantage Gingrich doesn't have.

True, but it would be fun watching Gingrich mop the floors with Obama
in a debate.

No, your vote for the Libertarian candidate will be a drop in the

But it won't be Newt versus Hillary. So you gonna vote for the
