No Newt
by Hal_10000
Newt Gingrich is opting out of the 2008 election.
I’ve met Newt. He was elected in the gerry-mandered uniformly Republican district next to the one I grew up in. He always crossed me as a very smart man. But his personality - and moreover, the venom it drew from the Left - was a big problem. He is, in many ways, the exact opposite of Mitt Romney.
I’m sure the daunting prospect of fund-raising is part of the reason he’s not running. A bigger part is that he had no chance in hell of winning.
Update: On the other hand, in a world in which a Cubs-Red Sox World Series is a likely event, anything is possible.

Newt has a lot to contribute to debate and a future administration. However, the talking point about “culture of corruption” was first tied around Newt’s neck. With Fred in, I can’t say I would be interested in Newt anyway.
I’ve never like Newt - something about him just screams “dishonest motherfucker” - despite his positions on fiscal conservatism.
A Cubs-Red Sox world Series? God I hope not. The collective orgasm from the nation’s sportswriters, combined with the persecution-complex addled fans of both teams, would make a black hole of stupid even Green party philosophy couldn’t match.
Well, at least his non-run will give Newt material for his next book: “How To Be An Attention Whore For Under $30 Million.”
No Newt is good Newt.
I’m sorry, but it was just begging to be said.
well now Chris Rock wont have any new material then…

AlexinCT: Alex, what I’m saying is this. When people get to the end of life, they have two choices. They can sit in a hospital, in pain and misery, fighting it out to the last full measure at great expense. Or the can be at home, with some pain killers and…

AlexinCT: Puppie sent me this charming little email. So dog is a government bureaucrat. That explains his passion for this destructive government takeover of healthcare. This guy isn't motivated by the doctor patient relationship, he is motivated by the deep pockets of government and wanting grants one.

AlexinCT: Do you know the definition of hypocrite? Democrats, and in particular, the current president, and the usual suspects in the MSM. That is your argument. No dog, you are twisting yourself into a pretzel and making an obvious fool of yourself. I did make it clear that republicans using this…
