Beware the Newt

After Gov. Jindal butchered his response to President Obama last Tuesday night, there smelled of an opening in the Republican party for someone to step up and take the spotlight.

Over the weekend, the Conservative Whackjob Conference straw poll yesterday, nominated one former Gov. Mitt Romney.

I think that's a hilarious joke on Romney, and he will flirt with that party, spends tons of his own money, to yet again, be a sideline watcher come August 2012.

However, the man who has a chance to make some noise, and who could be the kingmaker in none other than: Newt Gingrich.

While I think the country would have to seriously tank for him to be elected, considering his past behavior, he is the man who developed "The Contract with America."

Laugh, if you will. But, with a lost party, struggling for a message, he may be the politician who comes forth with a coherent, cogent, plan for taking on the Obama Administration.
