Goodbye Newt....you made the classic mistake

I think Newt stayed in as long as he did because he knows that this is his swan song.
Fox Noise won't take him back.
And, it's doubtful that his name will have the clout in influence peddling that it once did. I suspect that there will be some vacancies on K Street as the various lobbying organs that Newt put his name on gradually fold up and depart into the night.
He'll still get the occasional op ed piece, and a standup every once in a while.
But, I think Newt is finally on the long slow road to poltical obscurity. (and not a minute too soon).

Newt = The Solutions and Ideas Man. Why would you hate the man that gave Bill Clinton every idea policy he had as POTUS - welfare to work being the greatest?

Pretty much it. Fox won't have him on through the 2012 campaign season, because it'll resurrect so many memories of him calling Romney a "Massachusetts moderate" and the Hard Right Base being reminded that they are ONCE AGAIN being "forced to vote for a RINO".
Without Fox...he'll start to fade into obscurity...and that means little reason for people to pay the big bucks to listen to one of his Star Trek meets Ayn Rand speeches.
Plus he's now being forced to BEG Romney to bail him out for all his campaign debt (something Santorum doesn't have to do)....which just further embarasses him and makes him look weak. And when the Right smells weakness in their own...they either abandon them...or devour them.

NCM...going to do a magic trick and make you disappear from this thread. Ready?
"If Newt is so great? Why isn't he the GOP Nominee? Or is Romney better than Newt?"
POOF!

I was for Romney in 2008... Newt gave the primary race great ideas and solutions that will be part of our future.
Obama is a divisive and incompetent dunce ... people are just sick of his wrecking ball administration.
ABO 2012
GO ROMNEY!!!
GO USA!!

Maybe not disappear...but you didn't answer my question, NCM...nor CAN YOU-

But it didn't have anything to do with Cain being black....NCM hated 9-9-9 and pizza.
