Via Robert Novak: Newt Gingrich as the GOP nominee in 2012? My initial reaction: no. My secondary reaction: no. My tertiary reaction: NOOOOOOOO!
The man has undeniable energy, and he's been one of the best "idea guys" for the GOP. Having good ideas does not make you a good candidate, though. If it did, we'd all be enjoying the fifth consecutive term of President Steve Forbes.
I'm willing to be won over, though. I confess to not knowing a whole lot about Newt. What I do know is just what the rest of the American public knows: he was a controversial figure who was forced out of office by a seamy sex scandal.
So if he can conquer that memory, more power to him. Me, I'll just get started on printing up my Jindal 2012 bumper stickers.
