GOP Flavor of the Month: Newt Gingrich?

Back in June, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann first captured the hearts and minds of the Christian Right. Then, Texas Governor Rick Perry rode onto the national stage only to quickly fall off his unsaddled horse. After drinking a six pack of Lone Star Beer while watching Faux News, hungry GOP voters ordered up a $9.99 pizza from Mr. Herman Cain.

Three political love affairs later (pun intended), the ANYBODY BUT MITT parade continues with former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich taking center stage. Seriously? Newt Gingrich? This blogger has two simple questions: who is answering the telephone when one of more than a dozen pollsters call? Do folks actually believe this man could get elected President?

Instead of attempting to attract support from the Libertarian Wing of the Republican Party, his campaign is targeting main-stream, independent-minded voters. Why? Basically, with the present field of candidates, the GOP needs someone to politically balance out a potential ticket.

One of the more interesting facts about this candidate is his global name recognition. More people know the name Huntsman in China than in the United States. 



Winners Never Cheat: Even in Difficult Times (Hardcover)

A decent reporter knows how to ask questions to formulate a simple news story. A great REPORTER actually researches an issue & knows what questions to ask.

Jon Huntsman: ‎While it's refreshing that a GOP Presidential candidate actually has some REAL WORLD foreign policy experience, a somewhat moderate social philosophy & tested leadership as a former Governor, important QUESTIONS about his connections with various special interest groups married together with his extremely close business dealings w/ the CCP itself need to be asked.
