People are buzzing about this online but I’m not sure why. “I regret deeply that she was chosen,” he says of Scozzafava in an apparent reversal of his prior support. Except it’s not a reversal: He admitted to Andrew Wilkow way back on October 21 that she’s not the person he would have nominated. His endorsement was always strategic, to support Republican leaders at the local level and dissuade third-party challenges next year. Read more here.

Newt, are you sorry or just sorry you got caught? You are not the same man who once spearheaded the Contract.
Let me save you some money. This cost you any possibility of 2012. Start thinking about running for Senate when a seat in GA opens up.

Newt, Looks like your alliance is with the GOP, not the conservatives,
bye bye, sorry it had to end this way.

Sadly enough, the gunman at the Ft Hood shooting has been identified as Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan a muslim? So this is the peaceful religion Obama touts? Hmmm looks like we need to clean up our backyard

Newt, some people say you're a GLOBAL CITIZEN, that you're for Cap and Tax and global warming. I wish you would clarify your position on CAP AND TRADE/TAX AND GLOBAL WARMING. I get confused hearing different views about your politics. You're a very brilliant speaker, but you need to come out and tell us if you're CONSERVATIVE or a MODERATE/REPUBLICAN.

Mea culpa! Mea culpa!
send it up
This was your chance to show you are conservative. See ya.

The way I see it...Newt's got it right. He has more experience and background knowledge on this topic than anyone here. He was courageous for speaking his mind. I guess "Rogue" thinking is only hot looking, former governors :)
Garry
Bet the Lib's or as they now pretend to call themselves,the Progressives, just love reading the comments here. It's old news, time to get on with the new.
imsteph555
Progressives, nothing like a little 'rebranding' !
Funny the names they pick---actually the opposite of what they stand for. More gov, less rights, more control, less choice, more power, less people have any say....
sounds like they are going to 'liberate and progress' us right into slavery~

Newt you have turned your back on the American people by trying to play on both teams.
Americanmetlhead
I'm so sorry, I only follow party lines and I made a mistake. Will you please vote for me in 2012? Newt, you steped in it and you sure stink. You have shown your true colors and proven that it would be party politics as usual. Not what I'm looking for in a presidential candidate. Go Sarah!!!
Do nothing Obama Admin & Dems gotta go-Bye!
Hi Josh,
I agree! I hope he's not considering running for 2012. Like McCain, they need to step aside and let REAL CONSERVATIVES lead the way!
Josh
It is good to see Newt admit his screw up, now he just needs to go away and let real principled conservatives lead the way!

Thats all well and good Newt. But keep your endorsements to yourself !!!

This is possibly a good thing that this Republican stepped out of the race and supported the dem. The reason it is good, is that it is supporting our believe that we have problems with dems and republicans if they are to moderate or liberal. Obviously she was pretty liberal. Obama and his corrupt goonies are not listening to us, so the Republicans better start listening now. We will vote for whomever is a friend of the Constitution and believes in our liberties and rights. If that is an Independent rather than a Republican, then so it be.

so newt made a mistake we all have feet of clay

Newt is not a conservative. http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd449.htm
Kleinsee
At least he was man enough to admit his mistake. How many other politicians can you say that of?
JPINGA
I sure hope Newt doesn't run in 2012 - because that will ensure another 4 years of odumbo, which will ensure the total destruction of my beloved country. When Newt gained his speakership with the "contract with America", he was just like odumbo in that he though that it made him KING. He was wrong, and Bill Clinton (Monica who?) shoved his threats right up his backside. Newt needs to sit back and write history books. George Soros would love to see Newt run, because this thugs would uncover hundreds of skeletons in Newt's closet!!!
winodrifter
Newt you blew it. Nows the time to slink off into the sunset and and let someone else handle the job. You've lost all credibility so move over and stay the hell out of the way.
Wandita
Newt, what thw HELL are you trying to prove! I guess you're another one that's a "wolf in sheeps clothing" huh? Don't bother running for president cause WE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT VOTE FOR YOU...WE WANT TRUE CONSERVATIVES!!! COMPRENDA AMIGO!!!
DS
Nice try Newt!
democrats implode
Don't support a RINO again, ever!
Hey Piasano
Newt knows he screwed this one up by trying to talk down to everyone. Problem is he has shown his colors and forgets that you are only good as the last thing that he has done. 1994 is over and done and Newt is just the past .
Gan Gan
I wouldn't trust Newt any further than I could throw him.
modelt
What a dissappointment when Newt came out for this republican especially when we were informed of her liberal left leanings. We do not live in that NY district but live in upstate NY where we have suffered at the hands of Schumer and hillary and now Gillibrand. I am looking forward to Giuliani putting his hat in ring for Senator not Gov. We need him in Washington for t he state. How did this lady get so far in with the republican party with her record. How sad. We were hoping for Hoffman. Would have given NY some hope. I thought Newt Ginrich smarter than that. Stick to your convictions newt.
Allen
Great! Start working on that 2012 Presidential bid Newt, and Good Luck! You trashed Hoffman up to the last minute with you articles and TV commentary. I do not hold the 11 men who picked her responsible. You could have kept your mouth shut, but you didn't. I place a great deal of blame on you for the loss in NY23. Now, will you get on board for Marco Rubio in Florida for the Senate, or will you put your mouth and your support on Charlie Crist who supported Obama's porkulus and today in that liberal lying way says he never did? http://www.marcorubio.com/ Rubio needs our support NOW.
sleeping giant
Of course he will get on board. Rubio is a republican,
anything to keep the prty alive, including throwing
conservatives under the bus
DAV (OathKeeper)
Sorry Newt, you blew it. You only get one chance with me now, I'm tired of the good old boy (girl) networks of the two party system. It's time for a change.
TexasProud
Well good. He has shown his true colors and he is just another beltway RHINO.
2ifbyC
Newt is squarely in the anti-socialism ranks. He's like the modern day James Otis before the revolution and deserves respect. I'm glad he fessed up to his obvious mistake. If I were a betting man I would say he won't make another.
SpinStopper
He has called to strip freedom and liberty from the American citizen and turn America in Singapore on several occasions.
Maybe he should move there. We love our country and the values it was founded on, freedom and liberty. We don't want to live oppressed lives under GOP tyrannical rule.
guntotengranny
You get an ok from us for standing up and taking the heat, and admitting you got it wrong. How refreshing! But next time Newt ya got to do better.
Don't Drink the Cool Aid
Totally agree....

Newt made a huge mistake on this one. He should have never supported a liberal Republican. There was nothing conservative about her. Learn from this Newt, it might cost you more next time.
Genjiro
Well there goes Gingrich's chance for the repub nomination in 2012.
Prussian Patriot
Well Newt... I can give you a pass on this one, but you had better think long and hard before you endorse someone again. You are a very smart man and I did not understand why you would have gotten behind a candidate like Scuzzyfava. Stick to what you know and don't deviate and you will win back the trust people put in you. I give you credit for acknowledging your mistake.
Sharon
Wow, I was very surprised and upset at his endorsement of the RINO over Hoffman. He will have the chance to make it up but he has a long road to travel before that happens with me.
Red, White and Blue
Newt.......plenty disappointed in you but at least you have the decency to admit your mistake. Going "wimpy" on conservative principles is not acceptable and as you well know from your historical writings. this great country was founded on values that cannot be compromised and eroded by this present administration's radical agenda of "change" , enough debt to drown in, and excessive government interference in our lives..
red dot in a blue state
Yeah, that's right we are mad at you Newt.
I unsubscribed from your mailing list. 1st bad mouthing Sarah and then you all go picking the far left candidate in NY 23rd. You all wasted that seat.
Telling us to back her? You can get in line this time Newt and tell the RNC to stop calling us for money and wasting 90 or 900 grand or what ever it was giving to that chick who dropped out indorsed then Democrat. That's what your RINOs are good for nothing.
