On the other hand he is much more representative of the GOP than Romney, so really why can’t he be the nominee?

Ayep, Newt’s the guy who best represents the current GOP: Arrogant, angry, convinced of his own “superiority,” willfully ignorant, bigoted, racist, misogynistic, and small-minded.

You can be sure that a Newt candidacy would quickly be met with cries of “Can’t we focus on the issues and not on his screw-ups?!”
