Hurdles Newt Gingrich faces from the perspective of the GOP
At Mother Jones, Tim Murphy showcases quite a bit of Newt Gingrich baggage that will make it difficult for him to get the GOP nomination. The baggage falls into two categories: A) Newt's personal family values baggage and B) Positions that he has taken on issues like health care reform, immigration and the environment that will horrify modern-day GOP ideologues. Check out, especially, Gingrich's 2005-2007 position on health care reform, which dovetails quite well with Barack Obama's approach.
