IMO, Newt will be force in the party, despite his schmukiness (I agree, rb) because he is the only one who I see who knows how to frame the issues in a way that can generate broad appeal.
His "Contract with America" was a brilliant political policy document/strategy - middle class tax cuts, balanced budget amendment, personal responsibility (welfare reform), anti-crime, anti-UN, legal reform, etc. On the surface, these have broad appeal...its when you dig deeper, that the extremist positions were exposed.
Palin's greatest shortcoming is that she cannot articulate a thoughtful policy position beyond the talking points on her cue cards.
