I completely agree with this post and Im glad that somebody else sees that Gingrich really isnt the hugest problem with the republicans. Hes a problem sure but hes not THE problem. Removing Newt will not in itself fix what is wrong with the republicans. The pundits were saying in all probability Newt will be challenged.... I wonder by whom? If the challenger feels that Newt is a flawed leader because he is somehow immoral etc then they will have completely missed the point. BTW I suspect they will miss the point when all is said and done.

The main thing I need to see clearly when I take a political view is my wallet. Unlike you and Michelle, I have no fear of the RR. Just like I have no fear of the extreme left. Distilled to the most fundamental core is the concept of what type of government do you want to fund? A confiscatory one like we have today, or a "downsized" version that costs less to operate. If the Republicans are unable to field candidates that can promote that viewpoint without the political baggage of a Newt Gingrich or Trent Lott, then they're gonna lose. End of story. When they focus on tax reduction using guys like Texas Bush, they'll probably win. Now the big problem is going to be how do you convince a person the caliber of Texas Bush to make a run for the WH after Clinton has so successfully trashed the place. bp

And I suppose the Democrats are right in step with this sentiment. Where are the Democrat voices for tax cuts, tax reforms, slashing inefficient, ineffectual government programs. Hubert Humphrey III was the clasical liberal Democrat with a program for every problem. The voters of MN said no thank you in no uncertain terms.
