We both had agreed he just might be the guy. Smart, solid as a rock, bullish in debates, impenetrable from liberal attacks...he would laugh them off. Saturday at the wedding, first thing he said was 'Newt's a no go'...I was like wth? He was JUST talking about how if the people wanted him enough, he would find no way to refuse the call of the people. (Hmm, now where have I heard that before...) Two days later he's scratching? Well... alrighty then!! I was at a wedding welcome party on Friday, chatting with a cousin who was a fellow conservative about 2008. We both had agreed he just might be the guy.

But had he won, which I doubt he could have given that he was polling so low (Fred Thompson polled alot higher when he was unannounced), the media would have hammered him in a way we've never seen before (esp. since it'd be against Hildog). However, make no mistake, his prescence will still be felt. I like him, and he certainly would have enhanced the debates, which have become tedious and repetitive IMHO.

Of course he said dumb things while speaker like, "young children might be better off in an orphants home than in a drug house with an addicted, prostitute mother, no dad and a sleazy pimp that drops in every now and then.

Who ever declares they'll close the border, enforce our immigration laws without opening the floodgate, protect American jobs, and learn how to balance a budget may qualify. I do not believe the vote last November that placed the liberals in charge had anything to do with the war, but more to do with the illegal alien issue. Conservatives are more than fed up with the pandering from those they placed in office. Without Newt, the present line-up of conservatives running have left me without a candidate.

He seems to have come a long way from his days in Congress. Enjoy reading and hearing him more and more. He would be a valuable resource for any adminstration, Dem or Repub.

Secretary of State or Ambassador to the U.N. He has a great sense of priorities as relates to OUR national security and the rest of the world. He is also a great historian. The next administration would be remiss not to use him in a major way. He would better serve as senior adviser to the President. Secretary of State or Ambassador to the U.N.
