Well, Newt Gingrich is considered one of the favorites, so why not Hastert? Cheesy

Newt's a celebrity. Hastert never was.

Of course, Newt wouldn't do actually better in a general election... but unlike Hastert he could just about conceivably be nominated.

The other Republican house speaker?

He would have problems winning his home state of Illinois (obviously, since Obama is the Democratic candidate).

He wouldn't have a chance in Illinois.

I fail to see how that matters, though.

Hastert is a follower, not a leader. I doubt he would even want the job. He looked miserable as Speaker, and his disillusionment with politics probably caused him to leave the House before the end of his last term, shafting his constituents by leaving them without a representative for several months.
