I saw a news real about glitter. What do you think of him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newt_Gingrich
You really think this belongs in economics? He has too much baggage, more than Sarah Palin even. Next.
He blew his wad as speaker of the house years ago. Probably capable to be president but being "capable" is low priority. We need someone who has the star quality of a one armed albino lesbian octopus, you know, someone who appeals to anyone other than white people. A white guy in a suit, need not apply.
I think his opinion is important. Actually, I consider the opinion of other countries and who they would like to see for President in the US very important.
I think he would be one of the best qualified candidates, but lots of people think he has too much "baggage"... something about his prior marriages, I've heard. We Americans are naive, greedy, and stupid. We don't elect the best candidate, we elect the one with the catchiest slogan, prettiest face, most outrageous false promises... things like that.
