Newt's in Iowa exploring... Good or bad for the gops? Good or bad for the Dems? Who can tell? I feel like everything about American politics right now is flying around like those money booths, you know, the ones people win a chance to go in and grab as much money as possible. I would hope a presidential candidate would have more qualifications than this:
Rep. Ray LaHood (R-Ill.), who came to Congress as part of the Republican revolution of 1994 that Gingrich led, said, “I think Newt would love to be president. I don’t think there is any question about it. He’s already met the criteria; he’s already written a book, or several books. This is right up Newt’s alley.”Writing a book is a presidential qualification?
Newt's a smart guy, no doubt about it, and though I do not like his ideas, I do like the idea behind the "Contract with America." Nothing like having a plan.
So who's in the gop field now? Gingrich, McCain, Barbour, Warner, Hagel, Allen, Brownback, Frist (hopefully he'll be in a jail cell), Giuliani (fat chance), Romney, Condi? The list is as long for the Dems.
It's going to be a strange 2008 primary season. It'll be the first time since 1928 that primaries were being held for both parties (with no VP incumbent running.) By the time November 2008 comes around, the American people are going to be sick to death of politics, but it's going to be great fun for those of us who like campaigning.
