Hound, I would generally agree with your assessment of Gingrich and his fascination with ideas and policy. That tendency and a very big intellect makes him a very strong debater which we have all seen. How that will translate into governing is unclear to me but it is something to consider. Interesting vignette I saw about Newt by Byron York. Newt was at some conservative gathering in DC and rather than glad handing with potential voters he was holed up in a conference room with a couple of scientists talking at length about cognitive brain illnesses and treatments.

With regard to your observation that Obama has the same policy wonk tendency I have to say that assessment surprises me. When I think of a policy wonk it is someone that loves to get into the nitty gritty detail about everything under the sun, talk it to death, over-analyze, have access to oodles of generally useless facts, etc. Obama strikes me as someone that is exactly the opposite. He seems more interested in the big ideas (bad big ideas from my viewpoint) but when it comes to the nuts and bolts he has little interest or patience. He leaves all the sausage making to others.

Maybe we have a different definition of what a policy wonk is which could explain my confusion.
