Newt's Biggest Mistake

Looking through my email today, I noticed there was an email from Newt.org and had an email about his New Contract with America.

I would really love to see Newt enter the republican primary, as I feel from our declared candidates just don't knock me down. I have always thought of Newt as a very intelligent politician and person.

As I was reading, my worst nightmare ever came true!

Dubbed "Ronald Reagan's unlikely heir," former Ohio secretary of state and 2006 Republican nominee for governor Ken Blackwell plans to help lead Gingrich's grass-roots drive in his home state, which proved crucial in the last two presidential election cycles.

Blackwell, who worked on similar efforts with Gingrich in the 1990s and with Lewis Lehrman's Citizens for America in the 1980s, says, "If you look at some of the defining manifestos of the contemporary conservative movement, Reagan's first inaugural address and the Contract with America immediately come to mind."

Blackwell told WND he has no affiliation with any presidential candidate, but with an emphasis on themes of limited government, individual freedom and personal responsibility, he plans, in coordination with Gingrich, to build on successes in Ohio.

Despite losing his bid for governor amid a backlash against Republican corruption in the state, he points to recent gains, including passage of a marriage amendment, a statutory spending limit, defeat of state-sponsored gambling and a rollback in the state's sales-tax rate.

"We've been able to speak to the heart and minds of Ohioans, who will have a significant say as to who will be the next Republican candidate for president," Blackwell said.

If Newt Gingrich lets Blackwell do anything more than park cars at his fundraisers, he will never win anything in Ohio. If by some chance he wins the primary, he can cross Ohio off in the general election.

Blackwell's grass roots efforts? I would say more like "scorched earth"! Blackwell and any help he might give, would drive Newt's campaign right off a cliff to an early demise.

This man still thinks his loss was because of republican backlash. I guess our successful republican candidate, State Auditor Mary Taylor, doesn't count.

People, this is important. This next election may be one of the most important elections we have had in recent times. This election will set the course our country will take. We cannot afford to have a democrat president with the threats that we face.

If there is anybody that wants Newt to have a chance at winning the primary and the general election please go to his site, Newt.org, and let him know the mistake he will be making.

Off the top of my head, I can think of almost ONE MILLION reasons this will be a mistake!
