Newt

I like Newt Gingrich. I like what he has to say, and I like his courage for saying it, and I have for over 10 years, but I do not think he is presidential material. Like Hillary, Newt has baggage. His conservative base will not forgive him for his adulterous affairs, just as they have never forgiven Bill. And like Hillary, the other party (and not just the radicals) have really strong negative feelings about Newt. His speeches do not bring the nation together, but they divide the nation. Our next president needs to appeal to ordinary citizens, to bring us together to face a multitude of huge domestic and international problems, to bring assurance, and not to antagonize.
