While I wouldn't vote for Gingrich in a primary -- IMO, he showed a decided lack of administrative ability while he was Speaker and we can no more afford incompetence in management than we can incompetence in message -- I'd welcome him getting into the race.

Giuliani's message to conservatives is, "I'll prosecute the war effectively and I won't offend you gratuitously."

McCain's message to conservatives is, "I'll prosecute the war and I'll go after spending (at least, that's what I'm telling you) .... other than that, screw you."

Romney's message to conservatives is, "Really, guys, I am one of you ... no, seriously, I mean it .... Hello??? Is this thing on???".

As for the rest of the so-called candidates ... well, they're still looking for the microphone.

p>Gingrich's greatest contribution would be to increase the focus on conservative ideas and policy. Even if he's unsuccessful, he'd draw Giuliani, McCain and Romney out, and (most likely) move them right. br> -- Brad Bettin br> Melbourne, Florida /p>

Bravo, Newt! It's good to hear that at least one public figure has the guts to say, "...it's clear that our political system is utterly and totally incapable of serious conversation" about some of the most important issues facing us, especially radical Islam.

Thanks, too, for nailing the Demo-liberal-Left that's so focused on hating Mr. Bush that they've caused a dangerous security threat to America.

p>Maybe he's exactly what the Republican Party and our country need. For sure, it's not what's coming from across the proverbial aisle and the Left.
