Besides his big political baggage, Gingrich has no discipline and is, quite frankly, an unlikable asshole who will have zero appeal outside of the base. Back during his heyday he was always running off at the mouth with stupid statements which got him in trouble and his recent comments about child labor and the work habits of poor children show things haven't changed. Eventually he will self-destruct, it is only a question of when.
Don't bet on that, keep in mind that the Obama regime has discharged working white's as being of any support for him, making the dependent workless people wanting, so to vote for him, Obama. Obama will campaign the Newt position - that poor work habits are rampant and a destructive societal fact - as being the usual GOP heartlessness, when, the conversation finally matures it will be realized that it was a Gingrich, George Patton soldier - get off your ass - moment.
as for as a Clinton / Gingrich comparison - recapturing the house, fit these points in - Clinton said he will have a administration that
looks like America. Gingrich, just made the point, it will be Americans
working together that will be the look. That is, it appears he wants to have a election that will be of a coalition - house & senate - with an already established policies/platform presented in Jay-Madison-Hamilton format...
...it's how it could be, if, their were a press that would understand the conversation/argument and accepted the forwarded info. It would not fit the/their democrat progressive party political affiliation position.
