I like Newt a lot for his ideas and his ability to articulate conservative principals. I would say that he is a very polarizing figure on a national basis and may not be the best person to lead the Republican party out of the electoral woodshed they currently occupy. He brilliantly conceived and executed the Contract with America (or the Contract on America as liberals cleverly labeled it) and it was very popular at the time.

A DC lobbyist one of our companies use who is a Republican with a big law firm told me once that the culture in DC really changed when Newt was speaker. No more of the kinds of relationships that Reagan and Tip O'Neill had and much less collegiality. He believed part of the problem was the reaction of Democrats to being put out of power after so long but more of the blame went to Newt and his leadership team.
