Although my mind is still open to all of the GOP candidates running for president, I listen to what congressman Pete King has to say.
Capital New York interviewed King:
When Representative Peter King called me between votes on Thursday afternoon to talk about his party's current presidential front-runner, Newt Gingrich, he joked that the conversation would ruin his day, but that he would "try to be even-handed." He duly started out with the nice stuff.
"First of all, we would not have won the House back if it weren't for Newt," King said. "He did have a vision. We had that first 100 days with the Contract with America. We got through at least ten pieces of legislation. He certainly provided direction at the start."
But, King said, "The problem was, over a period of time, he couldn't stay focused. He was undisciplined. Too often, he made it about himself."

I like Newt, but he’s like a ticking time bomb that can go off at any minute.
