He'll be the savior of the conservative movement, I tell ya.
Please Newt, don't do it. Sure, you may get the Conservative Christian vote, but that's not even the majority of the GOP vote and you'll get exactly zero of the Independent and Democrat vote unless some little old ladies have trouble with their butterfly ballots again. Keep you day job as commentator on various news shows as your time has passed and to be honest, you're not all that appealing. Here's the scoop:
Matt Towery, a former senior aide to Newt Gingrich, had dinner with the former House Speaker and notes "it is clear that the presidency is now very much" on his mind "and that he remains convinced that none of the candidates in the current field has captured the imagination of the party."
And Newt will? This is an excuse for Newt, he sees a traffic jam and he's going to ride in and steal votes from Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson. All that will happen is he'll take some of the social conservative vote from Rudy, some of the Southern vote from Fred and plod along in the 8-11% range where Romney's currently residing and get crushed in the primaries.
You know what Newt? On second thought, run and take some of the heat off the candidates that really matter. It will be like a two-week vacation for Giuliani and Thompson so throw your hat in.

1. Why would religious conservatives vote for Gingrich? The guy has admitted to infidelites, three marriages. Rumor has it he left his second wife while she was in the hospital after surgery. This is conservatives idea of a good man? What kind of a man walks out on his spouse while she is sick? Not a good one.
Oh, yeah, I forgot. He begged forgiveness from James Dobson and his wacky bunch - I guess as long as you grovel and pander to the religious loonies, you are "one of them."

2. This is typical of you conservatives. You loved Newt when he was bashing Clinton, but now you have no use for him. I am a liberal and I must say, although I strongly want a democrat to win in '08, Newt is 100 times better in my book than Guiliani, Thompson, and Romney.

4. Newt Gingrich is a strong leader and stands a good chance of winning the presidency of the United States should he run.And remember Newt, it was those evangelicals that put Bush in the presidency. Never underestimate the christians, they have a powerful friend, the God of Israel.
