Newt Gives His Reasons for not Running, but could he Win?

Newt Gingrich writes about his decision not to run for President in his Winning the Future E-newsletter that is part of HumanEvents.com.

Before it became evident that Fred Thompson was going to throw his hat in the field of candidates, Newt was one of my top favorites. Newt and the Clinton family are not exactly friends. Newt was involved in slick Willie being the second President of the United States to be impeached from Office. The only thing that saved Clinton’s cajones was a Democratic majority in the Senate.

Then Newt became slimed in a scandal himself – one of the greatest Republicans next to Reagan became embroiled in an extra-marital affair. Unlike slick Willie, Newt resigned from the Speaker’s Office in the House while President Clinton received the aid of Democratic Party buddies in the Senate and actually finished his term unscathed. This occurred even though an American President out right knowingly lied to the American people – “I did not have sex that woman.” Either a blow job and ejaculation is not sex or Slick Willie lied.

I can hear the Democratic fringe now: “Bush lied people died.” If indeed Bush lied (I am not totally convinced), it was not knowingly. Bush’s decision about war was based on the same Intelligence reports that the Democrats of high levels read and endorsed the invasion of Iraq.

Here is the thing: Newt admitted his mistake and resigned from one of the most powerful Offices in America – Speaker of the House.

God knows how many people the adulterer sex offender sparkled up the pinnacle of his power. Yet the dirt has slipped of slick Willie like Teflon and his wife rather than divorce him intends to follow Slick’s tarnished but endeared Leftist legacy to the White House.

Newt would have made an excellent Conservative President however I do not think his integrity could withstand the dirty tricks that began to be hurled by a Clinton machine if nominated as expected by the Democratic Party.

Newt would be a good VP or Cabinet member in a Republican Administration; nonetheless let us read the specifics as to why Newt made the final decision not run in 2008.
