#1 From what little I know of Steele I'd like to see him advance BUT I also like Gingrich and would like to see the two of them working together, each one concentrating on their strength.

What do you guys think?

#2 Both are winners. Steele is very sharp.

#3 Gingrich successfully led a revolution in 1994. After he was drummed out of the House on trumped up charges the Trunks pissed away all his gains.

He is not electable but he sure is a great strategist and could draw some decent candidates into the mix. The Trunks need new blood, not a bunch of hacks claiming to carry the Reagan mantle.

#4 I've heard of both Gingrich and Steele (voted for Steele for Senate, even).

Who is Mike Duncan? Where'd he come from?

#6 GBUSMC has it right. Gingrich isn't highly electable but is a smart guy. He should get the nod, and Steele, who is way more electable, should run for something.

#8 Steele would be better, with Newt a hired gun/strategist. He's toxic as a figurehead, but an incredibly smart strategy/history/platform guy. He's just not likeable for personal history/ name his parents gave him/media perception reasons

#9 Funny, I sent the GOP an email 2 days after the election suggesting that Newt take over. Doubt it got to anyone, but its obvious I wasn't the only one thinking it.

Hadn't thought about Steele. I had always thought of him as an in front of the camera guy, not a backroom guy.

#10 What do you guys think?

Steele. So he can tell the Blacks they need to Cowboy up and get off the gubbmint tit! Newt as a hired gun and adviser.

#11 I've read far too much about Newt's love affair with the global wormening issue.
