Newt? Not

By Jason Wright, Editor

Filed Under Race for White House 2008 on Sep 29 

Newt has finally said “no,” just two days after saying he’d make the run for president if supporters would pledge $30 million to his campaign. Apparently what he heard the last 48 hours was “chirp chirp” not “ka-ching!” I’ve been a Newt fan since 1984 and I think he’s the kind of innovative thinker and problem solver the country could use right now, but his flirting for the last year has worn very, very thin. It’s one thing to question the wisdom of campaigns starting so early, it’s another to imply that we’re all idiots for being interested. He’s made the right call; now let’s hope he sticks to it.

    Newt isn’t the only pervert inside the Beltway

    Can see Newt as Vice President or Sec. of State (foreigners aren’t that hung up on the kinds of issues he has for it to be a problem with them)

    Bye, Bye, Newtie.
    You never had a chance.
    Something about your (lack of)
    Control of your pants…

    Your 15 minutes
    Was up long, long ago.
    Most of us wondered when
    You would finally know.

    Newt didn’t run because he has too much baggage and it would cost him the election. His best role is what he is doing now. Helping to form and drive policy.

    I would put Newt in the cabinet but not VP.

    I really hope you’re kidding :)

    Newt is soooo VP material.

    Jason’s note is SO on target. I have nothing to add other than its time for some folks to drop out.
