Considering that I would think of myself as "left-leaning" a bad taste comes to my mouth when I hear the name Newt Gingrich. I always prescribed to the slogan "No Newts is Good News." With that being said Gingrich's ability to rally the Republican troops when they were down and be one of the most influential figures in bringing Congress back under the control of the Republican in 1994 cannot and should not be ignored. Whether Cantor can live up to the Gingrich comparisons will be determined truly in 2010.
