Seriously?

Well if he makes it...he will be the first Prez that has been married 3 times.

At least he's not your average candidate. He married his high school math teacher and he claims that excessive patriotism caused him to have extra-marital affairs. His appeals to the religious right ought to be interesting to follow.

He is a a pretty smart guy, but probably fatally flawed as a candidate.

Yup, too much baggage.

He is not very likable.

I've had the chance to meet him personally and when he speaks to the crowd, he engages them pretty well. But the morals issues he drags with him are items that don't sit well with folks...R/L/I-winged. I think that detracks from the job at hand.

I ran into him at the Atlanta airport last year, and while it was almost certainly a result of all my preconceptions, he did appear to be leaving a slimy trail behind him like a slug.

Are you saying he is arrogant? That is somewhat understandable ( if not forgivable) for people who are smarter than the average. Some attribute the same criticism of the current President, yet it did not keep him from being elected.

I said he was not very likable. Don't get me started on the Why of it!

Nope, Newt has more baggage than the belly of a 747.
