Interesting analogy because Lyndon Johnson, the man who defeated Goldwater, was the president who escalated the Vietnam advisors mission into a full blown conflict. Most of the names on the Vietnam memorial wall are there because of his policies.

"Best thing"? For who? Certainly not America.

Newt is ok. A bit stiff, uninspiring, emotionless....well... he is Newt.

I agree with Tak and have in the past. BO will win and not for his stellar command of the office or current affairs.
