Nothing would make me happier than to see him win the nomination. He's got more skeletons in his closet than any candidate I've seen in recent history, it's pretty astonishing he's got this far and a testament to how poor the GOP's candidates have been over the last two elections.

Anyways, Obama would likely mop the floor with him but it'd sure make for some entertaining debates.

I am sure President Obama's team are placing orders at Newegg as we speak for larger hard drives to hold all they dirt they will dig up on the Newtster.

All Obama supporters cosign your thread. Newt would be as easy to beat as Michelle Bachman.

Republicans simply don't realize how 99% of normal Americans view the words coming out of Gingrich's mouth. He'd have next to no support from minorities, which is a death knell in a presidential election.

Bush did VERY well with minorities for a Republican, and a large reason why he was able to win the general election twice.

Screw minorities, he'd have next to so support from anyone after he opened his mouth a little more.

Do you honestly think minorities aren't going to vote for Obama? Something like 95% of them did last time and that's not going to change. Republicans don't need it. Right now the white working class vote is strongly opposed to Obama, and this time they will be sure to vote. "I have to work" is no longer an excuse and they are HIGHLY motivated to get rid of this president.

He'll get written in, just you wait. But there is simply no way Obama can win.

Hahah, that's what they said about bush his second time, then the democrats vomited Kerry and Edwards out as their candidates.

Bush had higher approval ratings in 2004 than obama has now, Obama's numbers are in the toilet.

Obama is ~46 right now, not much off Bush in 2004. When ~70% of republicans really don't even like their probable nominee, I doubt the president's team is that concerned.

That was 95% of blacks, not 95% of nonwhites.

That's quite the fantasyland you live in... Care to share with us what drugs you take on a regular basis?

Probably pain killers, righties are fine with hard drugs as long as a doctor tells them it's ok.

The food stamp President will pride himself on creating job with government money, AKA he'd be destroyed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Godda love the GOP food stamp president charge against Obama.

Food stamp laws have not changed a bit, in the past 20 years, so the fact that there are more people on food stamps now is a simple predictor of the state of the US economy.

And when the GOP ran on improving the US economy in 2010, all the GOP has proved in the past two years is that the GOP stands four square for improving the interests of only the wealthiest 1% of Americans. As the other 99% of Americans are already on food stamps or will soon need them if we don't vote the GOP out of power in 2012.

If we vote in a GOP president in 2012, we will see far more and more Americans mean test into qualifying for food stamps. As the GOP is willing to throw all Americans under the bus
just to prove the GOP knows nothing about improving the US economy. As the GOP can also prevent anyone else from improving the US economy.

Just look at GWB, he inherited a strong US economy in 2000 AD and in eight short years GWB and the GOP fucked it all up and even collapsed the world economy too. So I ask, has the GOP learned a damn thing since?

I think we're going to see a brokered convention and Sarah Palin may be the nominee. Notice how she's been sitting back.

Or maybe Herman Cain never really dropped out and the stuff about him was fake.

I don't think Romney will be able to win though, especially if there's a brokered convention. He didn't win IA and he's not going to win SC, so Dr. Paul could win a plurality although he probably won't make the required 1/2 before the RNC.

Still, Newt's win in SC is going to help Dr. Paul in VA.

You must be reciting the liberal group-think. Juan Williams said the exact same thing at the debate, got booed for it, and they gave Newt a standing ovation for his reply:

If Newt stays on that message of jobs, that'll appeal to everyone. Remains to be seen if he'll stay focused though.

An audience almost exclusively composed of conservative white South Carolinians is not necessarily indicative of national reaction.

I'm supposed to be impressed that Newt got a standing ovation by a group of people that booed at the mere mention of the word "Mexican"? You seem to have mistaken me for a white racist, which I am not.

His infidelity alone will crush him once it REALLY gets put under the spotlight. Just because the current GOP candidates aren't focusing on it doesn't mean the Democrats won't.
