The NYT is reporting that Newt Gingrich is supporting Hillary Clinton's 2008 Presidential candidacy. What gives?
Here's my take: Newt thinks (as I do) that Hillary would be incredibly easy to beat in the general election. He further thinks (as I do) that she would either win the primary or do a great deal of damage to the candidate who defeats her in the primary.
Newt wants Hillary to run because he wants the Republicans to win.
