Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House of Representatives

Newt Gingrich is probably one of the biggest political threats to 'big government' and 'politics as usual' in America. He happens to be a former environmental studies professor, as well as an expert on world history, military issues, and international affairs. He is intelligent, articulate, analytical, conservative, patriotic, solution oriented and unpopular.
