would you vote for Newt Gringrich?

Question

I mean, the dude is named after an ingrediaent in witches brew.

Answer 1

for president?
not a chance.

He's a smart guy. But we've had smart guys who couldn't keep it in their pants before.

Would any Democrat vote for him?
Plus, a lot of the Republicans hate him for messing up the House when he was Speaker.

Answer 2

No. Hasn't he run in the past? He is too far right to win in the current political environment. There has been a recent backlash against the right and thier policies as was seen in the recent elections. If a GOP candidate hopes to win, they will have to move to the center, IE John McCain.

Answer 3

If he thinks he could win, he's an idiot. No way would I vote for him. He just recently gave a speech at a free speech event talking about how we've got to police freedom of expression to make us safer from terrorism. How's that for mind blowing?

Answer 4

One of the most brilliant minds in modern times. Electable? Probably not. But I have yet to see any lib ever win a verbal duel with him on national TV in a one-on-one confrontation. Once they see they're in over their heads with him, they do their usual fall-back to name calling and bumpersticker slogans.

Answer 5

Hell Yes!

If you ask me, Newt is the only candidate, on either side, with fresh bold ideas, and the historical perspective (being a history professor), to not make the mistakes of the past.

Answer 6

I would consider voting for him depending on where he stood on the issues.

Answer 7

no (rice is on the table)

Answer 8

Yes....
