Reply #9: Gingrich would be the "un-Reagan"

[Zambero]

Reagan effectvely used his charisma, personal charm, and nice-guy image to transcend a carefully crafted political agenda that could have otherwise been a liability for any another candidate. And Reagan was able to stay on message. Newt has none of these attributes, and as a candidate would dig himself into a deeper hole than the one he's already standing in, baggage in hand. His "outstanding debate performances" typically include bombastic and ill-advised utterances that will show up in subsequent sound bytes (aka negative campaign ads). Remember what he once said about Medicare? "Just cut off the money and let it wither on the vine". Women in particular can't seem to stomach the guy. I say "bring him on".
