I saw him speak at Lake Sumter Landing a while back. That was long before he declared he was running for President, so only a small group of people showed up to see him. Being that it was a hot day, he took off his suit jacket and I was surprised to see how much weight he was carrying; he had a huge waistline! Now, in the debates, he keeps his jacket on and that hides a lot. But the weight it's still there!

I wouldn't be surprised if he's taking high blood pressure medication, a cholesterol medication and who knows what else. If he keeps eating the way he's eating (lots of fast food while he's campaigning on the road) and becomes our president, he may only last one term (considering the amount stress that comes with the office of President).

People who don't take care of themselves age faster. That being the case, I would put him at around 75 years old, although, I don't know his actual age. All I know is that, physically, he's a lot older than his years.

If he becomes President, it might be a good idea to set up a special room in the White House in case he needs emergency bypass surgery.

Other than that, I think he would make a great President.

Thanks! I might give it a try.

Wouldn't he have to have a heart in order to have a heart attack? People with a heart don't leave their dying wife.

Newt will have a hard time carrying all the baggage he has while campaigning for the GOP nomination. Sometimes I wonder how someone who has so many examples of failures of integrity and character, and who politically says whatever he thinks the public wants to hear--while he simply goes off and does the opposite--can be a legitimate candidate? If some candidates are accused of flip-flopping, Newt leads the list. He's taken opposite positions on questions in the same day! He must think that no one is paying attention.

Who in the world would vote for such a man? Yet in recent polls he's up there among the GOP front runners. The other front runners have as much baggage as Newt, but are nowhwere near as smart or politically experienced.

Amazing! I'm still hopeful that as this primary campaign begins to wind down to taking actual votes that count, that the public will come to its senses and begin to demand debate between the only two candidates who have the experience, character and most importantly, the ability to beat Barack Obama. I'm hoping anyway.

People with a heart don't allow anyone to die if they can at all help it!

I'm looking for a candidate that I can put my trust in. That's a chore. I need a candidate that can prevail in the 2012 election and replace the current administration. I've never voted party lines. So far the options are limited and I've given Newt a look. The current picture of him is still fuzzy, the rear view not so much.

The attacks, whether valid or invalidas respect professional qualifications. on a presidential candidate will increase or decrease depending on their polling numbers. Bottom line is what candidate can lead us out of the domestic and foreign policy mess were in

That is true, but it seems to me that every administration has been horrible for the past 20 years...different faces, same old BS.

Will you give us a break. The domestic life of candidates do not seem to matter if they are democrats. The biggest scumbags domestically and historically have been Democrats, and they have the nerve to preach down to Newt. Really.

Maybe we should list the scumbags one by one, name for name. Tit for tat....
Newtie is dispicable all on this own. One has nothing to do with the other.

Did you forget the ethical violations that cost him a fortune, or should I say, cost Dole a fortune since he paid them for the Newtie? Maybe he got paid back. The congress rarely imposes such huge fines...but they did for the Newt. The Newt resigned because he knew it was going to come out that his behavior (he was having an affair) was just as bad as Clintons when the impeachment hearings started. And that is the truth, and you know it.

Comparing the morality of Dems compared to repubs is ridiculous. JFK invented the blueprint of treating woman as dirt. John Edwards and so many democrats that I will have to google to verify. Newt is a good man that will set this country straight. You democrats always say that it doesn't matter of personal deficiencies as long as the policies are stable. Are you not hypocrites now?

I hope that Neuter at least had the decency to pay Dole back out of that $1.6 million dollars he got paid from Freddir Mac - for ... ahem.... get this ..."consulting"....

Talk about scumbags !!!!!!! Neuter is at the top of the list ...
