Balz on Gingrich

Everybody has a view of Newt Gingrich, perhaps even multiple views. The Washington Post's Dan Balz, a potential successor to the late David Broder as dean of our political reporters, here writes about Newt Gingrich - his strengths and weaknesses as a presidential candidate.

Balz has the same doubts about Newt everyone else has, and recognizes the same undeniable set of strengths. For a decent, relatively balanced assessment of Newt's possibilities in the presidential sweepstakes, you could do much worse than reading Balz's analysis.
