I'm contemplating the 'theoretical' candidacy of Mr. Gingrich. After the Democrats successfully demonized him in the 1990's, is the Republican party going to intelligently allow him to be used as a 'Judas Goat'... presenting a nice juicy target for Democratic dirty trick, and therefore removing some level of negative attention from a 'stealth candidate' ?
I wonder.
No link.. this is my personal theory.
this was brought up here about a month ago.
the "thinking" person thinks that Newt is somehow more attractive to the voting populace because he's literate, as opposed to the empty suits (Romney) and down-home (Huckabee) and grizzly shooting grifters (Palin), but really, people don't vote with the intellect in mind, they vote with their mood and their wallets. Newt doesn't have anything to offer other than an appeal to the more calm of the voting public and we haven't seen an appearance by those folks in a very long time.
