The Newt Factor

I've said in the past that Newt Gingrich is the smartest politican around and he is proving my point every day. Newt is working the edges of the Republican party, talking with leaders in every state apparatus and getting the lay of the land.

There is a lot of dissatisfaction in the Republican party with the front runners for the Presidency. McCain has managed to piss off just about every Conservative with his illegal immigration stand and with the McCain/ Feingold campaign restrictions, Guiliani is carrying too much liberal baggage and Mitt Romney is a non starter.

Newt is laying back while the other contenders knock each other off in the run up to the primaries. In the end I think Newt will charge to the front.
