Newt's New Plan

I have been reviewing Newt's new Contract with America.

It seems to be pretty comprehensive, and it addresses a lot of the things that I have the most concerns with.  I really do think that he would have the best chance at creating the legislative agreements that would be important to get thru any true reforms. 

I wish that he would go into more detail about foriegn policy, and what he would do about more specific circumstances around the globe.

It is right for him to concentrate on the domestic though, because that is were our biggest problems are right now, and that is the only way for him to create a mandate so that if he is elected, he can pursue these issues.

I am starting to like Newt a lot more.  His debate performances have been stellar, and he has the experience of working in highly partisan environments and producing results.  Many of the other candidates have the sort of leadership qualities that I like, but none of them have proven that they can effectively take on Washington in Washington like Newt has. 

That is a huge plus in his favor in my opinion. 

He is still having trouble gaining traction because of his poor campaigning skills, and most pundits' stigma of him, but he does seem to be coming across quite well with more and more of the base.  This is where he needs to make his stand, and if he can generate enough support, than pundits and commentators will flock to him like the weathervanes they are.
