http://www.examiner.com/a-842080~Newt_Ging...__pygmies_.html by Bill Sammon, Newt Gingrich goes nuclear: May enter race to foil 'pygmies' Dismissing the GOP presidential field as a "pathetic" bunch of "pygmies," Newt Gingrich hinted Monday he might step in to beat Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. "If, in mid-October, it's quite clear that one or more of the current candidates is strong enough to be a serious alternative to a Clinton-Obama ticket, you don't need me to run," the former House Speaker said at a breakfast sponsored by the American Spectator. "If it becomes patently obvious, as the morning paper points out, that the Democrats have raised a hundred million more than the Republicans, and at some point people decide we are going to get Hillary unless there's a radical change, then there's space for a candidate," he added. "So you'll know by mid-October one of those two futures is real." Pressed by The Examiner about whether his political baggage renders him unelectable, Gingrich compared himself to a famous French statesman. "This is like going to De Gaulle when he was at Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises during the Fourth Republic and saying, 'Don't you want to rush in and join the pygmies?'" he said.
Yeah, Newt's got serious image problems. He's a smart guy, but is also a polarizing figure, and is probably unelectable in a general election. Hillary has done well the last few debates, and is cementing why she should be the front runner. Barack is looking more and more like an empty suit. Biden is probably the most electable in the general election, but I suspect Senator Clinton will be our next president.

I had the same question about the Dodger pitcher Orel Herschiser, until I went to game where "Dodger Orel Herschiser's parents, Orel and Harriet Herschiser...." threw out the first pitch.

The dems ran on the Moron ticket the last two elections and both Morons lost resulting in a new strategy: Run the dead chihuahua. Her name is Hillary... :lol: :lol:
