In a recent interview with Linda Douglas of the National Journal, Newt Gingrich has become the odds maker. He believes that the Democrats have an 80% chance of winning. Of course, he hasn't factored into the formula who will be counting the votes.
It seems that the best Republican candidate, is the one not running. Fred Thompson was going to run away with it once he declared. Well, he declared and he is not running away with it.
Gingrich is sitting back, hoping the others will fail. He is waiting on the sidelines waiting to be invited into a race in which the Republicans are going to lose. Newt saved them before and he should not be underestimated. When you consider all the skeletons that have come out of Giuliani's closet, Gingrich must be pretty confident that his skeletons are not half as bad as Rudy's.
If Rudy Giuliani can be a front runner, so can Newt.

1. Newt's skeletons are not as bad as Rudy's...we are comparing apples to apples!
Newt is on wife # 3, confessed to an extramarital affair (to James Dobson, of course) and was kicked to the curb as speaker of the House by his OWN party.
Frankly, I could care less about his scandals...but please do not put this guy up as somehow oh so much better than Giuliani!

2. The only perfect candidate to lead this world was Christ himself and in our infinite wisdom we crucified him. We have 3 great leaders in Mitt, Rudy, and Newt and the liberals have a group of political whores who have sold their ass to moveon.org.

3. ^in case you haven't noticed, our Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, came out strongly against the ad, as did many other "liberals" such as John Kerry.

4. I'm glad this SOB is not running. He's nasty. How do you feel about Newt's decision to pass on running: http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=610
