Whoa Nellie! Or more apt, whoa Newt! Forget Newt’s alpha male tendencies. Newt is more suited to being the underdog than the leader of the pack. Compare his record of minority whip, when he drafted the Contract With America as opposed to his time as Speaker of the House. I bet more Americans remember the time he blew off steam in front of the salivating press after Clinton ordered him, and others, to exit from the tail of Air Force One than any of the reforms he forced Clinton to sign into law. Being president requires a certain presence that hotheads like Newt and McCain do not have. That said I wouldn’t mind seeing him throwing bombs at Hillary and McCain that hobble their bids as he travels through Iowa’s cornfields and the ice cream socials in New Hampshire.
p>Newt is brilliant. Perhaps the next best job for him is Karl Rove’s. br> — Mrs. Jackson /p>Yes, there is only one Newt. But the last time he had power and we counted on him, he had the same zipper trouble as the man he pursued.
p>Newt is the smartest guy in the room, but he always has embarrassing woman trouble. How about we just listen to what he has to say, but don’t give him the power to disappoint — again? br> — Judy Beumler
