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: My response is to wonder how people get like this. There has to be some sort of mental imbalance at work here. I seriously hope this can’t just happen to anyone given the right – or in this case, wrong – circumstances. There are very few things that would push…

AlexinCT: Fair enough. But bitching Obama all day every day would become tiresome—for me, if not for you. If Obama gave me anything not to bitch about, I would. Then again, when I did give him his propos I recall you were still unhappy with that too. I’ve made it pretty…
