So he says. If Newt runs, he could be real trouble, because he has the freedom to be critical of the GOP currently in power in a way that other GOP candidates don’t (mainly by their own choice). He’s an odious scumbag, and largely responsible for ushering in the conservative rule that’s now wreaking havoc upon America, but I don’t trust the Dems to make that case clear to the electorate, which has a woefully short memory, especially as he distances itself from it with what would be legitimate criticism had he not been an architect of the mania.
My feeling is, if Newt runs, we’re really going to need Gore. It would make Newt’s emerging outsider platform a lot more difficult if he were facing someone as outside the current debacle as he is.
