my father made the point the other day that even though it'd seem like a landslide for obama if newt is the nominee, he'd still rather romney (well, huntsman but he's out) be the nominee because what if newt pulled off the upset?

I've been telling Newt supporters that the best outcome the Dems could get is Newt winning however the more extreme are convinced that that won't be an issue. Sure, yeah, right.

I hope Gingrich becomes the GOP nominee and the next President just so I could watch the liberals in the forum loose their minds........LMAO!!!

I'm curious if his rise in the GOP has translated to much of a bump in the polling for the general. He was polling double digits behind Obama into last week. Haven't seen any new ones but would like to.

The 'most extreme' are tired of big gov candidates winning in the 'small gov' party.

The lessons learned from the Bush era are that we cannot allow ourselves to settle for the compassionate conservative. That the electable candidate is also the traitorous one who will attack conservatism in our own name. At the moment, anyone but Romney is the current inflection of this ideal.

Look, the guy comes across as a cheap suit, a fraud. He's the governor of Kennedy and Kerry. A state that's, what 80% Democratic legislature? No conservative rises from that environment. Is it extreme to oppose a Massachusetts moderate in the wake of Bush and McCain?

I think conservatives have had their fill of men who are not conservative and if the GOP has to go down in flames and re-elect Barrack Obama to clean its own house, then so be it.

True, but repubs would have to have lost their minds first by voting for him. ;)

Maybe Dems need to cross party lines to ensure that Newt is the GOP nominee

Which shows you have zero to say worth listening to on policies and are a troll who cares more than anything about upsetting the actual moral citizens whatever the harm.

Then again I've long said you are a sociopath, so nothing new there.

First comment applies to Londo also. I don't know if he's a sociopath or just an idiot.

Just that he's on ignore where he should be.

Anything to rile you jokers up. I'm not interested in politics. I think it's hilarious how those of you who seem SO interested in politics & national issues pretend like blathering on this forum has some sort of impact. Like some AT P&N poster walked into a polling booth in a battleground district, looked at the ballot, then looked up, remembering one of Craig123's posts, then checked the "Straight democrat" box. Then the national anthem started playing, and when he walked outside of the voting office, children of all races were playing together, the homeless were being fed and treated by doctors, and soldiers were holding Rupert Murdoch by his ankles as they shook the money out of his pockets.

If Gingrich wins the nomination, the Republican Party by default loses the right to claim the moral high ground on "family values".

if Newt wins the nomination, it would probably create the perfect storm for someone like Bloomberg to mount an independent run.

Sara Palin would be a better choice for that.
I'm in the extreme minority in that I think the woman would actually turn out to be a decent POTUS. That opinion is based entirely on her having a decent rack.

Methinks the only Repub who has any sense at all is Chris Christie. He's being a practical realist by staying out of this particular race. Why is it that only he sees the writing on the wall?

Go Go Gingrich........you self-serving, self-aggrandizing, womanizing, legend-in-his-own-mind, megalomaniacal rich man's fool of a tool.

I can just imagine who he would stock his cabinet with. I'm sure Trump would be in there somewhere. And he may be a funny joke here in the USA but I can imagine how the rest of the world's governments wretch in disgust and fear at the thought of Gingrich leading the most powerful nation in the world. Bush/Cheney would pale in comparison in every bad/wrong way possible. I mean, even Rove upchucks at the thought of him.

Every time I see him fluffing himself up on-screen I just have to LOL and wonder with amazement at the fantasy world he and his supporters live in.

A fair statement, although despite having some unusual views I think ron paul has more sense than a lot of these guys, too.
