Newt. NEWT?

When Newt Gingrich first started rising in the polls as Hermann Cain fell, I thought it was just a fluke. But now I am starting to get a little nervous about it. Does anyone else see a John McCain 2008 movement happening? The liberal media seems almost giddy about broadcasting Gingrich's success, though they haven't done that for anyone else who's done as well. I'm just waiting for the New York Times to endorse him as they did McCain in 2008 to seal the deal. Don't people realize that the left would LOVE for Obama to run against him? Two big strikes against Newt in my mind: 1) It seems unlikely he can unseat the much younger, much cooler, much more funded current president. Let's be real, Americans are not exactly deep these days. 2) If he did win, he's the left would LOVE to work with him. That is not a positive in my conservative mind. Have you noticed he only has a handful of other conservative politicians endorsing him? Too many have worked with him and don't want to do it again. Yeah...great choice.

The Tea Party has completely failed if Newt is the GOP candidate. Anti-big government? Newt has been a big part of creating the current monster. Anti flip-flopper? He makes Romney look like nothing in the over-used "flip flopping" accusations.

This article from National Review is a good summary of what is NOT being discussed about Newt Gingrich. Click here for the article.

I still can't believe that as Romney fails in gaining the conservative voters, Gingrich is succeeding. What about Ron Paul? Even Rick Santorum, people? Gingrich is very good at articulating ideas and I think he would make a fabulous Fox News contributor and/or best selling author for the remainder of his career.

I thought that was a good debate. Points of view are shared by many still.
