Newt Gingrich said today (on Sean Hannity's show) that If he (his team) can raise 30 million by the end of October he'll likely jump in the race. Hope he does. He would deserve a real hard look as he IS a real Conservative. Time will tell.

Grumble grumble. Well, couldn't make things any worse. I am just not a happy camper with these candidates right now. Looks like Romney still has the Iowa Caucuses bought inspite of his old voting record.

RE: Newt's in...???
Smart man but there is something I don't like about him...other than a dumb name. But I have to admit I would rather see him run than most of the others. Thompson has been a real disappointment for me. I expected that he would come out smoking and save our country but it isn't going to happen. Old man McCain is starting to be resurrected and I didn't think it would happen. He was "stay the course" when all the Dems and the marginal GOP's were saying end it now. Presently everyone including all the Dem candidates except Kucinich are saying we will be there for a while and that takes some pressure off George and strengthens McCain's platform.

RE: Newt's in...???
GOP is in trouble according to quite a few people. They better pony up a good candidate real soon or we will have the first female president in 2008 as a Stealthy alias predicted months ago. She isn't making mistakes and is starting to run awayas the Dem favoriteon polls. The GOP needs a perfect candidate with a winner for VP if they want to stop her. I don't see anyone who has run before and lost either through the primary or a presidential election to be able to pull it off. New blood with name recognition and a record of public service on the State or preferably Federal level is needed. Movie stars or professional wrestlers need not apply. This needs to happen now. The GOP front runners failing to show for that last debate says the party is in trouble.Can you imagine having Hillary as top dog with Pelosi 3rd in line should something happen to the POTUS and VP.
