Editor: Newt Gingrich for President
by Political Arena Editor Chuck Norton "Newt balanced the budget and got the policy heavy lifting done while he was in office and it hasn't been done since he left." - J.C. Watts When you cut out all the fluff, feelings, and BS, that is where the rubber meets the road isn't it? Leave it to J.C. to nail it in a way which should be totally obvious, but often seems obscured. As so many of our readers know, ideologically I am dead center between the TEA Party and what is so often referred to as the "GOP Establishment". I have a regular dialogue with both sides and for the most part have been able to garner the respect of both sides. The GOP needs results and the TEA Party and independents are demanding it. While other candidates promise, Newt has "been there and done that". Newt also has the ability to sell and agenda and use the Bully Pulpit to move the Overton Window back to traditional Americanism. Newt should pick a CEO, governor, or a social conservative leader to be his running mate. This is not to say that several of the other candidates would not make a far better President than the current occupant. This editor is very fond of several of the candidates and is acquainted with some of them, but as indicated, results are demanded and nothing else will do.
