Pop Quiz: GOP is fracturing......Only one can unite them.
Who's the one perons who has:

Distanced himself from the President on Iraq and Katrina
Is a Deficit Hawk
And is a darling to white Southerners.
The sheerforce of will and ego to have the audacity to think he can bring Moderates and wingnuts together after a dissapointing 2006 and a dismal final two years with * in charge?

18. Was that the guy with the OUTRAGEOUS Teeth in the Director's Cut
of (I get the various titles mixed up, but it was ) the one with the huge battle in front of the mountain fortress? They took him out of the theater version because he was just TOOOOO scarey, like the worst Cannibal you could imagine. Is that the Dark Lord of the Sith? I could barely look at him myself.

27. Actually the Dark Lord is the leader of the Dark Side...
the brain, the master manipulator, the one who coaxed Darth Vader over to the dark side in the most recent one. (In other words, he's Karl Rove)

Problem is, he would face a stiff primary challenge from the Easter Bunny, who has the support of the Falwell/Dobson crowd.

37. We have a weener
You think I am kidding?


No clear leader No true SOuthener. He will win SOuth Carolina in a walk If he argues the GOP is awol from its core values. I flat Guantess He will win a slew of SOuthern Primaries.


He has populist appeal and he is practically playing kissy-face with Hillary on Medical Records.

47. Think about it
All those pissed off republicans out there who feel betrayed by nation building, the FEMA FIASCO and the budget deficit. They Look at Gingrich and say that is the type of leadership we need.

I am telling you..... Disapproval numbers may be high. But If he comes out ad rails against Bush on the speech today...He is planning a run in 2008.

43. Ancient History
and He has the chops and the resume to stake a claim to bring back a populist GOP agenda. "COntract with AMerica"

Hey it was not good policy but it took the GOP out of being a party of the wealthy to the party of SOuthern WHite... I was brilliant political strategy at the time.

49. In Presidential politics yes
Not in Congressional politics.


He was a Horse's ass to be sure... But came across as smart and refreshing... He is definitely trying to sooth those rough edges with this Dance he is doing with HIlary.


It is a blantant appeal to moderates (I've changed) and has the COnservatives totally wigged out by his endorsing comments about HRC and his broadsides at Bush.
