WI: Newt Gingrich was a alternate history writer?

After reading Days of Infamy I found myself thinking, what if Newt had remained a Alt. History writer who (unlike Turtledove) does not write awkward sex scenes and bring his brain from radicalizing the Republican Party?

What effects could this have?
 
It depends on where he goes with it. I honestly did not think his Pearl Harbor books were that good but they were worthwhile books to borrow from the library.

Does he stay with WWII or go back to the ACW or something else?
 
The Republican party and American politics as a whole would be a lot less radical today if he was an Alt. History writer in the 1990s that's for sure. I've never read any of his books so I don't know how well he'd do as a career Alt. History writer.
