LaShawn Barber echoes my own thoughts on why Newt shouldn't run in 2008 or any year. He deserves credit for the work he did. Let's face it, the now 10+ year surge in Republican dominance was ushered in by his work. He's a hero to the Republican cause. But, as LaShawn points out, he's got a horrible sense of moral clarity and it would be beyond mere hypocrisy for the party that tried to run President Clinton out of office for his moral conduct to put Newt up for the Presidency. And some people will argue semantics. You can claim that it was because Clinton lied that he was impeached. I agree.
But the hunt started because the cultural conservatives were convinced that he was just short of Satan himself in wickedness. It was Clinton's moral failures that made him so hated by the right. And to now run a man with equally questionable moral judgment would reflect poor moral judgment on the conservatives. And even worse, it would reflect a willingness to do anything if they thought they could win.
