Newt Gingrich is pulling ahead of Mitt Romney in many polls. There are many reasons why the Obama Campaign is pleased with this news. Here are five of them...
1. Newt has been a Fox News contributor for many years. The Obama camp can downplay Newt as a puppet of the Fox News Channel.
2. Only one man is history has ever served as both House Speaker and as President of the United States, and he was elected in 1844.
3. When Newt was speaker of the House, there was an effort to unseat him by the Republicans in the House. One of the member of that coup trying to unset Newt was current House Speaker John Boehner. There must still be some bad blood been Boehner and Gingrich.
4. Newt has spoken in the past about the need to reform Social Security and let Medicare "wither on the vine." Surely the AARP and other PAC's that lobby for the Perks of Seniors will join the fight to stop Newt.
5. Newt is the only Speaker of the House to have been convicted by his peers in a House Ethics violation.
The Obama campaign must be giddy with excitement at the prospect of running against Newt.
