Correct answer. Seriously, who outside metro Atlanta who is Gingrich's base and why does it support him over the myriad of other likely candidates? Please advise.

Badger, these people:



Actually, George, I think those folks would be more inclined to back Palin, Bachman or Paul, thus proving my point--he doesn't even have a base among the nuts. Wink

Newt Gingrich has never won an election outside of Georgia's former 6th congressional district.

And Obama was only in the Senate for 2 years before running

Illinois has more diverse issues than Georgia's 6th district. 

yet Gingrich actually had accomplishments, many of them bi-partisan while Obama brought up nothing and continues to contradict what he so passionatly spoke about on the Senate floor. A balanced budget, defense of marriage act, welfare reform, it just goes on
Attempting to impeach Clinton in a clear act of partisianship.  Not holding an office for over a decade.  Having a mess of a personal life.

If Gingrich goes anywhere it will be the same way that people like JFK, Napoleon, and Ghengis Khan got people to follow them; sheer force of personality.  I don't see how that's any better than Obama.

I'm not saying he's not a dedicated republican. But I am saying some of the best stuff we've seen in the last two decades has come out of Gingrich working with Clinton

So you're saying he is a dedicated Republican?  What does that have to do with my post.  And I am wracking my brain for amazing legislation that came out of nineties.

You said he is partisan. I'm saying yes, he's a republican, yes, he and Clinton fought all the time, but they still produced some good legislation together
