Newt's a Bad, Bad Boy; So What?

He's certainly not pretty, but he
could change history - again.
In the age of spin, heralded by Bill Clinton and James Carville, Newt Gingrich defies the Mainstream Media.

James Carville - "Its the economy, Stupid!"
I am not thrilled with any of the candidates running for president. But at the South Carolina debate on Friday Newt shamed the moderator for asking "the Question." In fact, who really cares what he did with his ex-wife? Do we? Really?

For me, its all about jobs. How do we get the economy rolling again? How do we overcome the uncertainty that has business clutching their balls and waiting for the next shoe to drop? And what about the people who have let go of all their help, cancelled their dental appointments, put off that elective surgery, switched to public schools and put off buying a new car or a fridge until things get better?

Its real. VERY real.
And Newt is real.

I don't like Newt very much. I think he is a despicable mess. But I admire his brevity of experience, the weight of his intelligence, his historical knowledge, his ability to pull himself out of obscurity and his tenacity for getting the impossible accomplished. Who would have thought, three months ago, that his campaign could have legs? It does, like a centipede.

Newt can win this thing and throw that scarecrow out of the WH. POTUS has about as much experience dealing with the raw real of Newt as he does holding down a job or paying an employee. Or balancing a budget, for that matter.

Explain how he is going to make a case for Keystone being rejected? How is he going to defend Solyndra? How are we going to look this country in the eye and re-elect that monster?

I couldn't care less about angry black women or Baine Capital. I want to be able to pay my bills without fear. I can't right now. And as far ahead as I can see there is no momentum for change in the work force, in business and in the economy.

The problem with Mitt is that he is just as far removed from the average guy as Obama. When Newt starts to bring up his record, instead of an appropriate and normal response on his face, the man SMIRKS! Its so  odd!

This is Romney's expression when Newt is taking
him down on health care! INNAPROPRIATE!
As for Newt, he acts like the rest of us. He has been that outcast, that misunderstood guy. He has imperfect written all over him. We already KNOW he is bad. He knows it, we know it, so who cares? We also know that he has a plan! A real plan, one that is based on decades of Washington experience, where he can say that the "single-payer" was wrong, "I made a mistake." I like that. He really has learned on the job, and these other guys - well, they're lightweight.

Can Obama debate Newt? He definitely needs his TelePrompTer.


Let's see what will happen in the upcoming primaries. It could be interesting.

UPDATE:
Newt is a horrible mess. His own ego squished him like a fly. Sometimes you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield...
