Newt the Dark Horse Candidate
Newt Gingrich is silently leading the way, but the MSM is ignoring this.
Newt is "The MAN", not because of name recognition, but because he has held true to conservative values and ideals. I admit if Newt were to run, he would have my vote in a heart beat, because of where he stands on the important issues. And this is why the MSM is ignoring him. They don't want to stir up the conservative base, they don't want to encourage voters by highliting a true leader that could beat the Donks in 2008. They are scared of Newt and so are the Donks.
I pray he runs, because he is what America and conservatives need, not some power hungry, socialist sHillary, not inexperienced and Liberal Obama and definitely not the Silky Pony Edwards. America needs someone to make the hard choices, someone to scale back Big Gov't, someone to not raise taxes, and definitely someone that won't run away in the War on Terrorism.

Press accounts seldom name former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in the top tier of aspirants for the Republican presidential nomination, despite polls consistently showing he belongs there.
"Newt's invisible to much of the nation's media," said Republican communications strategist Tom Edmonds. "The liberal press doesn't want to acknowledge that he casts a big shadow over the 2008 race."
News stories and opinion columns routinely refer to Arizona Sen. John McCain, former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney as the "top tier" or "first tier" Republican presidential candidates for 2008.
Yet in every recent poll national poll -- as well as in Iowa, a key early caucus state -- Mr. Gingrich leads Mr. Romney among Republican likely voters. And it's not just because of high name recognition alone, conservatives say.
"Everybody here loves Gingrich," said Iowa Republican Party Executive Director Chuck Laudner. "He is a hero."
More than a dozen years after he zoomed to national prominence as the brash leader of the 1994 "Republican revolution," Mr. Gingrich has attained status as an elder statesman among top conservative leaders.
"I don't know how Gingrich would perform if he were elected to the highest office in the land but these days he is responsible in that each time I read one of his policy initiatives I want to stand up and cheer," said Paul M. Weyrich, chairman of the Free Congress Foundation.
