All this might be true, but I bet lots of real Conservatives would feel more confident in the Repubicans agenda moving forward with him at the helm.
His greatest attribute is that he's not a typical politician. Being Speaker is a politics-heavy position and many outstanding congressmen of both parties have historically shown no interest for that very reason. The Speaker is invariably going to piss off many of his own people no matter who he is, as Gingrich quickly found out. Gowdy's focus and primary interest right now is on his chairmanship of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, a position he is heavily invested in and one he would have to give up if he were elected Speaker. Gowdy is tough and focused and would excel, as the other poster said, in a position like AG. A party leadership position would frustrate the crap out of him and in the end would turn him into just another politician having to deal with several disparate groups within his own caucus., as well as the democratic leadership. That would be an incredible waste of his talents.
