Gingrich: The GOP's Femme Fatale

Newt Gingrich is seductive.

Every Republican owes him a debt. He extended Ronald Reagan's legacy to Congress as the architect of the first GOP House in 50 years. His political sex appeal is a rare variety; Gingrich is loved for his mind, not his looks. Since he birthed the Contract with America, he has been elevated to the sparsely populated pantheon of transformational GOP leaders and, until recently, stood alone as the GOP's engine of ideas. He is still venerated despite a decade in the political wilderness, though carrying heavy political and personal baggage. In fact, an insecure GOP remains so desperate for a man of ideas like Newt Gingrich that, at times, we even turn to Newt Gingrich to lead us. It is a relationship that has run its course.
